What are your WR Catch sliders at?

I am playing on All-Madden and have not seen this issue at all?

I love the game I feel u can do more defensively and they fixed the kr issues from ps3. My only issue Is I can't use my custom playbook in the online cfm anyone else having this issue?

It'd be nice if lil details still existed. Can't see players breath in cold weather games? No wet field on rain days? Bummer.

Yes little things that make the game more immersive..sun and shadows, passing clouds, rain, snow, breath in cold , cold weather gear, cheerleaders, chain gang, measurements, cart for injured players, authentic stadium sounds, music editor for stadium music, animated jumbotrons , specific stadium chants, crowd swells, stadiums noisier than others-difficult to play (kc, Seattle, saints dome, etc)

Some people have said that the CPU catch slider is broken and moving it off of 50 creates this issue. However, I have mine still set at 50 and am seeing 20-25 CPU drops a game. CPU wide open drops. I do have my CPU accuracy slider down at 20 so that may be creating the issue. I agree though that as it stands right now it feels gamebreaking. And default was too robo QB for me to go back to. Need to find some happy medium.

On a side note, in my first CCM game against the Bears they had two pass interference calls against them when I went up top to AJ Green. I was more than shocked.

I'm seeing some drops, but nowhere near 20-25. That's insane.

What difficulty are you playing on and is this in CFM?

# 330 Gotmadskillzson @ 11/25/13 02:59 PM

20 to 25 drops is insanely high.

All-Madden CFM with modified TNK's sliders

PLAYER SKILL
QB Accuracy - 10
Pass Blocking - 10
WR Catching - 47

Run Blocking - 1
Fumbles - 45

Pass Defense Reaction Time - 23
Interceptions -7
Pass Coverage - 53

Tackling - 55

CPU SKILL

QB Accuracy - 28
Pass Blocking - 60
WR Catch - 50 (Don't touch this slider)

Run Blocking - 80
Fumbles - 45

Pass Defense Reaction Time - 53
Interceptions - 2
Pass Coverage - 75

Tackling - 60

The only thing I can think causing this is the CPU passing accuracy. The bad part about this is that Cutler (despite throwing WAY too often) had realistic numbers due to the drops. It just looked funky and the drops in combination with the still horrendous playcalling for the CPU (four verticals called way too often when they are 3rd and long resulting in an easy coverage sack) kills drives and removes the teeth from the CPU offense because they can't sustain anything.

Biggest issue I'm having is interceptions. WHen they made the AI defense better they meant it. I haven't tried lowering the slider below 50. I guess I should try that.

I have the int slider at 0 and pass reaction as well as pass coverage set very low. I even edited every safety and db's catch rating to - 20-30 points lower than the game had them. None of this seems to make any difference. I see the problem as a programming flaw that too many times allows the computer defender to cut the route and intercept the pass. Not sure why a db who's catch rating has been lowered to 30 and his "drops wide open passes", set to "yes" is able to pick off the football like they do. Do ratings mean anything in this game?

I am hoping a patch comes through that allows more batting of the ball instead of all these ints. Not just a user problem either. My defense, I'm not controlling anyone in the secondary, intercepts way too many passes even with the edits and lowering of the sliders I have done.

I have lowered the CPU INT down to 30 on All Madden and it didn't seem to make a difference, however I did drop the pass defense reaction slider to 45 (I believe) and it seems to have made a difference. I am still extremely careful when making passes though and I analyze every passing down that ends in an incompletion to see if there is a route I'm missing or if there was no where to throw the ball. The improved defense is definitely apparent but I am not seeing a discrepancy between defenses in terms of difficulty.

I'm really enjoying the challenge from the CPU/A.I., all 7 of my Redskins CFM games have played out in ways I can truly imagine. Love that defense is back and look forward to even better cpu/A.I. play for M15.

Fun fact; last gen M25 first 100 CFM games I went 88-12 using tough sliders/next gen M25 (PS4), through 7 games playing default All Pro difficulty 3-4 and loving the challenge; my games are like watching the real Redskins, lol.

Comp % are not too high at default? At default that has been my biggest issue, I'd LOVE to stay default but with that I can't.

So I stopped. And I didn't miss it one bit. Decided to give this year's game a try since I was going to need some variety for PS4 to start. Tried it out for maybe 3/4 of a game and I enjoyed it, was thinking i'd finally enjoy Madden again. Then I finally decided to go back to it again last night for a second try, played a full game and was bored real fast. The game looked and felt like a slightly upgraded version of what I remember the demos playing like (because I still tried the demos each year). Didn't feel Next Gen. So the Honeymoon phase for me last about 3/4 of a game then I was bored and I seriously doubt i'll bother playing it again. Once you play NBA 2k to me it's almost impossible to go play Madden.

You are definitely the minority this time around...most of all my friends including myself that played every madden on current gen..feel totally different with Madden on Next Gen...it is indeed a much better playing game...and is more fun to play as well ...their are issues as there is with all video games and developers of Madden really need to improve on the atmosphere and presentation for Madden next gen to make it that truly fun and exciting game but as far as gameplay goes...this madden is definitely a big step up from current gen. Animations, better more varied cut scenes, half time show..better tweaked AI logic,etc all need to be improved this generation..hopefully in August but what they have here on Next Gen is a nice nice surprise to me and all my friends. We all got the game on PS4 launch day about two weeks ago and keep going back to it...where as before with current gen maddens we would get bored right away...

I dont know buddy...maybe you do not even have the game or maybe you really have not given the game enough time..especially by your comments which prove this. I mean i respect everyone's opinions but its kinda easy to spot biased opinions especially looking at past post history of members of these forums.

Can u run the ball on default all pro? I cannot! Lol

# 340 bdeezy89 @ 11/26/13 01:21 AM

Can't believe what I saw. I ran a screen with Shady McCoy and ran out of bounds as soon as I saw the defender coming. He ends up hitting me even though I stepped out and got flagged for Unnecessary Roughness lol. That has never happened in CG Madden
