You all need to leave real life stats out of this video game.

Many of you are going to have this game torn up with all of your request for real stat values implemented in the game.

I'm not getting 5-7 sacks a game and if I do, I will be happy with it, not complain about it. lol

What ever formations youre doing to get a lot of sacks, then shy away from the formation.

You guys are really killing me.

While I do agree that watching stats instead of on field gameplay is a problem, I do not think it is right to ask gamers to limit themselves by shying away from successful plays due to flaws within the game.

Then if you stop the QB by all means mission accomplished. Move on.

This is a video game. A little over the top is good.

Plus there's thousands of plays that let you dumb down your defense, so that the opposing QB can be effective, because that's what you're asking for.

But everyone has their own threshold of what is acceptable. You are fine with 5-7 sacks a game despite the NFL averages 2-3.

Madden is flawed and has always been flawed but that doesn't mean we should just calmly accept it and keep quiet. To a degree everyone has to accept the flaws and learn to have fun in spite of them. If you can't then you sell the game. I don't think you are being realistic in asking everyone to just accept the game EA puts out and shut up about it. What's the point of having a forum to argue over the strengths AND weaknesses then?

I agree 1000%.

To me 5-7 sacks a game is legitimate in Madden. We don't complain if we're able to run for 250 yards or throw for 600 yards but hone in on 5-7 sacks? GOH!

There's a lot of people who feel like me and then there's the one's who act like 5-7 sacks is game changing and it's not; sorry but it's not. lol

I prefer realism, and want the game to reflect the game I see on Sunday...penalties, accurate rushing, passing, sacks, etc. I no more want to see 10 sacks a game as I do 500 yards rushing a game. Some others are ok with that. Many are not. It's ok that we all may want different things from a game, but makes no sense to talk down to those who want something different.

Madden is a video game and it does a great job at compromising.

If Madden was to go straight SIM, it would have to restrict the user based on percentages.

Then it would be boring. I think it's a good video game.

As information, I am playing offline on Pro difficulty and not having sack issues. (2 or 3 per game both sides). One caveat is that these have been preseason games so the best players are out of the game by the second quarter.

# 410 Armor and Sword @ 10/09/14 10:18 AM

Small but important observation I have noticed post patch is receivers (whether they are WR's, RB's, or TE's) are not flying out of bounds as easily as they were when led to the sidelines.

I think they tuned the weight distribution better. Players still have weight and momentum...no question. But it's not overdone like it was pre-patch where guys that should be able to turn up-field can not.

It is a slight, small difference....but it's something I have noticed now in the last 4 games I have played post patch.

Game feels more stable on and off the field now.

Good stuff!

It's been stated several times what this problem is causing and while your seeing so many people post about it.

It's been stated several times by several posters but I will speak for myself once again.

I don't care how this stat relates to the NFL. If this was a sim stat issue you wouldn't hear a word from me.

But it's affecting the play in game drastically. It's killing CPU drives.

You can say all day to us to be happy about it but it's not that simple. I want to enjoy playing defense and I'm not.

I'm glad you're not seeing it. Great. But don't talk to us like were idiots and were making something out of nothing.

I'm not talking to anyone like their idiots, but it's not up to me how you interpret posts.

I think EA should leave the game alone and that's just my opinion.

Wait.. what..? Could you explain that please?

How would they have to restrict the user in order to make a sim game? How would improving the CPU AI so we get less sacks be restricting the user? It would actually get the user more involved as it would be harder to stop the CPU. But that's just one small example. If they had better WR/DB interaction how would that restrict the user?

I'm confused.

So you would want it realistic as in false starts and holding calls? You want all the realism that exists in a real NFL game to slow it down?

The interactions between CB and WR is wanted, but not game changing. I'm enjoying the game in its current state.

I'm not looking to breakdown the game every time I fire it up. I enjoy it for what it is.

LOL I like how you completely dodged that question. I repeat, how does making the game more sim RESTRICT the user and make it any less of a videogame?

First of all, false starts and holding have been in previous Madden's and have been the only penalties in Madden for most of its lifetime. So yes I want all the realism that exist in the NFL. Which includes penalties. How much will it slow the game down? Um maybe 5 seconds? Have you ever got a penalty in Madden. Did you take a 5 minute TV timeout or something? You get a penalty. Accept it. Back to the game. Hardly slows down anything, not that it ever happens.

You don't have to breakdown the game everytime you play it. But if you can't see the problem with the AI you are just ignorantly bliss. I don't have to breakdown anything when I watch the QB consistently run into my left end. I understand you don't get why people are complaining because YOU enjoy the product. Hell I enjoy i too, but I can't turn a blind eye to obvious flaws.

Either way, you are trying to make it seem like they CANT make the game more realistic because it would hurt the user. Please explain how...

So the slim playcallscreen is optional right? it is on by default now or can you switch back to the bigger and laggier one?

Yeah everything has flaws, that's why God created message boards.lol

No matter how 'realistic' or arcade they make the game, it will.still be nit picked about something or another.

I look forward to Madden every year because I love football and it does a good job representing every major aspect of the game. Yeah it has flaws and no it's not perfect, but it's to my liking and that's what it's all about.

Sorry but I can't bring myself to complaining every year about minute stuff.

Madden is what it is, slow down, realise that and enjoy...

For me it wasn't on by default. I had to turn it on. There isn't much difference. I like it on since I can see more of the screen on replays and that every time I cycle through the formations I don't get the extra info that pops up. But you can't cycle through the different sub-formations at the main screen either which I'm personally fine with.

Looks like the Gorilla has dug himself a deep hole.......lol.

# 420 JonPaste @ 10/09/14 11:38 AM

Ok here's the real deal. Post patch I like it. Seems the cpu QB is still to good but I play on all madden and set that to 8 and it's real now. Everything seemss to be fine, I don't mind getting sacks and them getting sacks. My issue is every game I've played if I'm up my team will sack them every third down when they are trying to tie or win. Every time. Sometimes I don't mind cause it does happen in real life. But every damn game it does this.
It takes away the fun cause in the 4th the cpu plays great and you get to the edge of your seat and all the sudden. Sack, sack, sack, sack. Imo this kills the game for me, makes it boring. The only times this game works for me is when I'm losing and the one coming back.
So until the sacks are fixed this game ultimately sucks. I know people that want to win 100% of the time and will cry if they don't and they love it. They yell "Yes he sacked him again, my ball"
I like it when I beat them and I really beat them.
