I don't know. I get the gripes about passing, though I think it's more an overall issue with AI reads and situational awareness than with raw numbers. For me, at least, it's not so much specifically deep attempts (i.e. 20+ yds), it's the overall low level of aggressiveness by the AI QB and the abundance of dump-offs, no matter who the QB is or what the situation is.
It seems the actual deep passes average out close enough over time (though I've had too many games where I might not even see one), but context matters, and the AI doesn't take enough advantage of favorable match-ups in the secondary IMO. They are too quick to take the check-down and not patient enough on the intermediate/timing routes, which distorts the general feel of the game (Again, IMO).
I was finally able to get better AI passing by upping CPU accuracy, but I know most don't like that option, given the issues with high CPU comp% as it is (though, in my experience, "Robo QB" doesn't change too much one way or the other unless you go below 20-25 anyway). To be clear, all of this is prior to today's tuning update. I've yet to see what, if any, passing changes resulted from the pass rushing tweaks.

I dropped mine because I wasn't seeing any drops of significant amounts.
And as stated above..you go slow increments and play a decent amount of games to get enough data to make a determination...
I still do not see a lot of drops at all so in time I may drop more... we'll see.
Dbs read run better than the lineman and lbs that are trained to do so, this is a big issue. They react to the run instantaneously.

Some will never feel that way and I get it.. and they are entitled to feel that way also.
The game is still playing great for me, but I'm going to start exploring Sliders a little now. Something that's a little displeasing, although minor in the grand scheme of things is the lack of apperance options for my created coach.
If the game is going to display my coach a lot on the sidelines, It would be nice to be able to edit a little more in depth. It's basically been the same for over a decade now. Three body types, three sets of clothes, 6 faces, and two skin tones.. pretty disappointing.
Luckily the game plays great and the graphics are nice. I can get over it.

I've given this game plenty of props, it's giving me a nice football fix(even though it's still early), but some of the issues I just can't ignore at this stage in Madden's life cycle. I know they've got an uphill battle, but some stuff just comes off as lazy/poor/amateurish design choices.
With that said I will reserve my true judgement of this game until it is a complete product(all patching completed).

I look at it different that if it was the same guys this whole time then WTF..
It hasn't been and thankfully we seem to have a group that cares about football and not gimmicks that try and hide the crap in the game..
I'll leave it at that.
Every FB game I've played has had some issues (Money plays, suspect AI etc..) and I feel as a whole this game has been the most enjoyable so far.
Not giving them a pass on any issues and I will certainly be here to post displeasure if things don't continue to improve OR if they start to regress back into Madden ball over football.

I haven't tried 32 team control, nor auto-pilot.

one thing I hated years ago in madden was the A.I. for keeping backs in to pick up the blitz. The last few years has been much improved in that area. But im noticing in M15 a little regression. its no where near as bad as years past but I hope the devs keep an eye on this.
The back should hang out with the QB looking for an unblocked blitz or a defender who breaks free, then he should spring into action. Im seeing him leave the pocket and run off in some cases looking for someone to block, sometimes running up to the line engaging in double teams while the original blocker is holding his own. and my favorite, running to find a second level defender who hasn't even charged the pocket
Its nowhere near as bad as years past but please keep it in mind has you continue to program blocking A.I. (lead blocking A.I. on runs as well)

I guess my early impressions of the game weren't exactly fair. I played 2 games against the CPU, then another 10 online in head to head quickplay. That's a pretty easy way to make the game not fun at all.
I've been playing offline the last couple nights exclusively and I do have to say this game plays great. The few good games I had online that I enjoyed, that's offline against the CPU every game for me. The game has issues, but to be short and sweet, I like the game. I'm getting realistic stats and realistic looking gameplay. Nothing gamebreaking is happening and I am being wowed at times. There isn't much I could as for from the gameplay. I haven't jumped into Connected Careers yet, but right now staying offline, I am having a blast.

The more I play this game the more I like it. It's not all doom and gloom as I originally thought. And I'm not sure if this is a coincidence, but I think the ai kept running the ball when it saw that I was struggling to stop it.
