Unrealistic Sim Stats (2nd String HBs)

[bartone33]

Has anyone looked at the sim stats for some of the second string halfbacks? I've done a few sims (with injuries and trades off) and every time there are a handful of second string halfbacks, usually guys like Knile Davis, DeAngelo Williams, Matt Asiata, etc. are getting 10+ touchdowns. Also, the starting halfbacks on these teams are getting 10+ touchdowns as well. I've been simming in offline franchises.


Has anyone else noticed this?


From my last sim:
LeSean McCoy (BUF) 338 CAR 1735 YDS 14 TDS
Bryce Brown (BUF) 150 CAR 442 YDS 10 TDS
C.J Anderson (DEN) 308 CAR 1359 YDS 13 TDS
Montee Ball (DEN) 151 CAR 485 YDS 11 TDS
Jamaal Charles (KC) 307 CAR 1776 YDS 11 TDS
Knile Davis (KC) 164 CAR 644 YDS 13 TDS
DeMarco Murray (PHI) 291 CAR 1595 YDS 12 TDS
Darren Sporles (PHI) 151 CAR 698 YDS 13 TDS
Justin Forsett (BAL) 280 CAR 1492 YDS 13 TDS
Lorenzo Taliaferro (BAL) 173 CAR 615 YDS 17 TDS
Le'veon Bell (PIT) 293 CAR 1389 YDS 18 TDS
DeAngelo Williams (PIT) 105 CAR 388 YDS 10 TDS
Adrian Peterson (MIN) 317 CAR 1620 YDS 18 TDS
Matt Asiata (MIN) 145 CAR 463 YDS 11 TDS


These are all the teams that had two running backs with 10+ touchdowns. Most of the other teams had at least 8 touchdowns from two running backs.

Wow I hope that's not the case, those stats are ridiculous

I noticed this too. It has to do with goal line situations and fatigue.

That's my gut feeling, it's annoying as hell.

A few years ago the issue was AI never running at the goal line so QBs would get ridiculous amount of TDs. Now this

yea I pointed this out before in another thread. I had Lynch and Michael both have 16 TDs a piece one season.

I would assume it has something to do with fatigue and long drives during simming

Even so, if it is fatigue related if that was changed you'd just have the tds reallocated.. So instead of 15 and 15 it would be 25 and 5 or something that would blow up starter stats.

What ever happened to the ability to set the carry split between HB1 and HB2 in the coaching schemes? I hadn't bought Madden in a long time before this year and I remember it being an option in years past and now it's gone.

Biggest issue for me right now. Bigger than the LT regression or the high speed for WR. Im running some test sims to get AVGs. But i can already tell you that there are no reasons why it should be happening. Usually if you get one thing happening it has an effect on another. So more rushing TD should = less passing TD or less FG. But it is not the case here so far.

The first word that comes into my mind is "barf". I am sadly getting to the point of hopelessness. I just feel like Franchise mode is so low on the list of priorities at EA that I doubt they will ever get it right. It's so incredibly disheartening to come to that realization. If you would have told me 10 years ago that this would be the Franchise mode that we would have in 2015 I would have laughed in your face and probably kicked you out of my house. Seriously, who would have thought there would have been such a lack of progress over the last 10 years? It's honestly mind-boggling and confusing. Where did it all go so wrong? I hope I'm just overreacting and a magic fix is coming.
