Improving AI Pass Coverage?

[Falcon17000]

I'm enjoying the game, but I've run into an issue.


If I have a 94+ speed receiver, I can effortlessly bomb the AI for touchdowns every time. They seem incapable of guarding Go routes. I'm playing on All-Madden with almost default sliders.



My rookie WR with 94 speed, 88 release and 92 acceleration can burn all but X-Factor level CBs every single time. Just threw for 955 yards and 12 TDs by just running any pass play and hot routing that WR to a Go route.


Should I work on the speed parity slider? Upping AI pass coverage to 75 didn't seem to fix it.


Thank you in advance for the help.

That's crazy.. no safety help?

Most of the slider folks tend to use 75 speed threshold (including myself) and some even like using 95.

Start there and let us know what you find out.

Just tested in my Franchise. William Jackson III is the test dummy against my rookie.

Speed Parity didn't seem to help. I went from 50 to 62 to 75 to 95, and I still effortlessly bombed on the majority of passes. 95 was either 3 TDs, or 2 Defensive PI calls.

Oh wow, moved to 75 on my end.

Completely changed my game.

You can try raising pass defense reaction time and pass coverage. If you still get easy TD's after those are maxed then I guess it's an exploit.

I went all in on the testing. 100 Speed Parity, 100 Pass Coverage, 100 Defense Reaction Time 100 Interceptions.


Still bombs at a 45-50% rate. Every other pass is a long gain or a TD.


Hopefully that gets fixed.

Report this on EA's forums, hopefully they will see it.

I'm surprised about that with All-Madden default sliders tbh. Coverage seemed to be pretty good and good reactions except certain much-discussed cover 3 issues for example. But if you get CPU in Cover 2 Man for example it shouldn't be an easy TD every time.


Do you just throw it and they are always open or do you usercatch with swerving or something similar like that?
