Tackle Assists - Why So Many?

[wutthedeuce]

I remember there was a point where they had stopped keeping track of assists in Madden and they have since brought it back to this game. Once again I have noticed the absurd amount of tackle assists you rack up while playing. I have more than a handful of guys with 20+ assists already after 8 games. Kam Chancellor has 41!!! The AI's top guy is Bobby Wagner with 25, but I have like I said, more than at least 4 that have him beat. One of which is a corner. Not a big deal, but it irritates me a bit because it kills the realism of the game. They really need to figure out how to implement this stat while keeping it on a realistic level. I feel like as long as you touch the ballcarrier you will get credit for one at this point, like you don't even have to get that player into an animation. Tough trying to actually get solo tackles and I don't see a crazy amount of the button tap situations to tackle a guy cuz he stood the running back up.

This is definately a problem. It also happens with sacks. It seems if they touch the ball carrier before he is down they get credit for an assist or get half the sack.

I did a thread on the same topic a few months ago and it along wit a number of issues kills the realism and immersion... Im absolutely fed up with madden after all these years they take one step forward and two backwards.... First it was pancake blocks, then you weren't able to get assisted tackles, then punt averages, ect...

Yeah I've noticed this to an extent it is on the high side for the user. I think they are "almost" there with it though, I'd rather have too many recorded than none if I have to pick.

I especially notice it on sacks where a guy will come in way after the fact and really shouldn't get 1/2 sack but still does anyway.

EA should do the same they did with pancakes. This should be tracked it they are not done right. If a player barley touch the ball carrier is credit with an assist. It makes the tackles in CFM stat unrealistic. Therofore it affect progression making defensive players progression faster than sim games.
