DL so wait u had a player with 32 sacks alone? Or a team? If a player wow is there pass blocking in the sim engine?

Man the amount of effort that has to be put into Madden's CFM to just get it to play decent.. and then when they patch it guys will have to rework around that. Valiant effort though guys and I hope yall find a solution.

You don't have to create coaches. You can keep the originals. You just have to control their schemes.

No 1 player Cameron Jordan if I'm right had 32 sacks and clay Matthews had 28.
There was 1 player with 20 and a few with 18. It's not to big of an issue though

Well considering the current NFL sack record belongs to Michael Strahan, who just got inducted into the HOF, with 22.5 sacks. . . that's actually a big messed up deal in the sim engine.

2 player got an insane amount of sack. After that it seems pretty normal.
It's not realistic at all. But it's not a game breaker like all the other broken sim stats. It's annoying for sure. But I can live with that one for now.

Wonder if ea is gone patch all this

I'll take two very good NFL players having 2 freakish sack seasons than Peyton Manning and Tom Brady playing to the equivalent of Chad Henne and Blaine Gabbert.

I would assume this could be controlled as well..through Def playbooks and schemes..depending on if someone does this or not i will def be looking into it..just not going to happen till 9/5

Based on some of the tests that I have run, it is similar to the Show but not as easy/intuitive. Basically you set up a franchise where you control all 32 owners/coaches, change their playbooks and schemes (as desired) then you can put 31 others on auto-pilot.

I have tested the auto-pilot and it does not reset the scheme and playbooks. Teams still sign free agents and when you get to the draft it treats auto-pilot teams like CPU teams (i.e. advance to next user pick function just will only skip to teams that are not on auto-pilot). Not sure if that is clear. Does that make sense?

edit: players seem to be regressing/progressing properly enough. I'm hoping to put up a video of the 32 depth charts (QBs) in year 3. Hopefully I'll have time before I go out.

Hey man, could you run 2 or 3 different simulations with the same settings as your previous vid, just to see how's the variance?
Appreciate it!

Possibly just making sure no defensive playbook is "Attacking"? Since Jordan and Matthews are both on attacking 3-4 defensive playbook teams. Probably wouldn't HURT, at least. I'm gonna try it.

Here are a couple more videos, with slight changes. I am getting ready to upload year 2 and 3 stats and progression as per your request. I will also try to upload a couple more vids with the same settings to see the variance for yr 1.

I guess I was asking if anyone tweeted the workaround to Looman? I know they have a huge department and probably found this already, but it may be worth it.

Team Playbook Scheme
Bears Pass Vertical
Bengals Pass Balance
Bills Run Vertical
Broncos Pass Vertical
Browns West Vertical
Buccaneers Run Vertical
Cardinals West Vertical
Chargers Pass Vertical
Chiefs Pass Balance
Colts Pass Vertical
Cowboys Pass Balance
Dolphins Run Vertical
Eagles Run Vertical
Falcons Pass Balance
49ers Run Vertical
Giants Pass Balance
Jaguars Run Balance
Jets Run Balance
Lions Pass Vertical
Packers Pass Vertical
Panthers Pass Balance
Patriots Pass Vertical
Raiders Run Balance
Rams Pass Balance
Ravens Pass Balance
Redskins West Vertical
Saints Pass Vertical
Seahawks Run Vertical
Steelers Pass Balance
Texans Run Vertical

Question:
Have you tried leaving the team playbook alone, but changing all offensive schemes to vertical?

For some reason, I can't play any games with 32 team control, with one team being completely controlled by me.

I went through all the teams (except the one I want to control) and put them on auto-pilot after changing all schemes/playbooks as previously recommended. When I try to "play" a game, I just get a loading screen and cannot play the game.

Any ideas on what's going on?

I've seen 3 or 4 comments like this now... it's kind of worrying :/
Maybe some of the guys running the sims can actually try to play a game while running 32team control? I'm afraid EA might have screwed the mode even more than we think and now it's not even possible to control multiple teams and play games

Nevermind. I restarted my PS4 and it works now somehow.

FYI, I tried playing after installing the update without restarting. It didn't work. I restarted, just to check, and now it works.

Leaping Lizards! That is ridiculous.

I have to restart the system every time I want to play a game after making changes. WTF?
