Stuck in mud/slow receiver glitch

[mm boost]

It's almost been 2 years since this game was released. I'm currently in my 7th season, and I was curious if anyone figured out a fix for the stuck in mud glitch/slow receiver glitch, where once a receiver catches ball, or running back takes a sweep, they stutter step on anything other than normal speed? After playing madden 15, NCAA seems like it îs slow motion and it totally kills the experience for me. I want to run the faster speeds, but the glitch kills the game. Thanks!

From what I hear this happens when game speed is set to anything other than "Normal". Don't think there is any other way around it.

Last season I moved from "slow" to "normal" gamespeed, as I was finally tired of the mud/hesitation glitch on not only WR's right after a catch, but also the HB toss plays. After making the transition though, I noticed an interesting change- I have observed that the CPU's pass completion percentage has increased dramatically.

Last 11 games with gamespeed on "normal":
CPU pass completion = 80% (224/280)
CPU pass ypg = 259 yards/gm
CPU pass attempts per game = 25.5

Previous 20 games with gamespeed on "slow":
CPU pass completion = 63% (319/503)
CPU pass ypg = 168 yards/gm
CPU pass attempts per game = 25.2

After 32 years of dynasty games on "slow", it only took me a few games to notice that the CPU was clicking much more efficiently in their passing game, and they are doing it consistently each and every game. The pass attempts per game has not changed, the CPU simply improved on connecting to the receivers.

Although the last 11 games is not a huge sample size for comparison (it does span across the final 5 games of last season and the first 6 games of my current season), I'm confident in my analysis because the change has occurred versus all quality of opponents and the gamespeed has be the only change I have made. I also averaged the overall rating of my starting 5 db's (top 3 CB's, and 2 starting safeties) and they were virtually identical in all games compared (76.9 ovr average for last 11 games and 77.0 average for previous 20 games).

Anyway, this is not a complaint. In fact I always felt my pass ypg yielded was too good. I had been doing well just recruiting mediocre DB talent, but now I will have to place a higher emphasis on recruiting better quality DB's.

Has this affected your user passing stats as well?

Only with respect to yards after catch. Playing on slow, whatever gap my WR had put on a DB was often negated by the hesitation that occurred right after the catch, resulting in getting tackled quickly. On normal, my receivers continue in stride and I've had a few longer pass plays. I have not noticed an increase in my completion percentage though.

I don't think there is a fix. Maybe putting the speed threshold at 0 might make guys seem faster...Don't know.

Interesting! The "slow" stats actually seem more "realistic," other than yards per completion. What skill level are you on, and what is the CPU's slider set at for QBA?
