For those who are seeing too many sacks, have you adjusted the holding slider at all?

The penalty sliders do two things and its an either/or:

1. They Trigger animations happening more often like the facemask animation.
2. They Prevent the AI players from doing things for fear of getting a penalty.

At default sliders and default penalties, I did not see a real sack problem. I also did not see any holding penalties.

My theory would be that people who see a ton of sacks may have moved the holding slider to try to get some calls and the AI players are releasing their blocks too soon to prevent the penalty being called.

I'm not in any way doubting that the sack issue exists. I just haven't seen it, and trying to figure out why.

Iam having an issue now in offline franchise ,I go to play giants vs lions week 1 and all it does is say loading data please wait and it never advances ..Is this a problem since the new patch ? It happened every time I reset the system yesterday ,its very frustrating

There might be too many sacks but I see them as balancing out the absurd lack of penalties. Given the almost total absence of offensive penalties, it is the only way you will ever see 2 and 20 in the game. Since penalties in real life are also drive killers, two or three drives killed by sacks in the game seem to equal the drives killed by a penalty in real life. Without sacks or penalties the offenses might be too potent.

That's one way to look at it...

And that's fine, I agree 100%

I struggle with the accusation that some of us are nitpicking the game. I am not a nitpicker of games at all, I very much enjoy this game with this one issue which is drastically affecting the game as it's played on the field which should be our first concern.

Like I said, I'm glad it's not affecting you and if that were the case for me I wouldn't campaign for change either.

Just not sure why you decided to get on a pedestal and tell those of us that see this issue that we are wrong for pointing this out since it plays fine for you.

It's not really nitpicking if it's being held to a standard that the developer set themselves. Seems fair to me. But it's been made clear who wants and cares about sim football, and who doesn't. No point in beating that horse anymore.

# 427 JonPaste @ 10/09/14 01:52 PM

The loading screen happens all the time, when it gets stuck simply reset the game go back in and set auto delegate to the improvements then play. I figured the patch would fix this but nope.
Also I never touched the holding or any penalties. I don't need penalties. I need less sacks.

Penalties aren't (usually) a loss of down so big difference there.

I saw something somewhere (twitter maybe) that turning up the intentional grounding slider has a positive effect. I'm going to check it out later.

# 429 JonPaste @ 10/09/14 01:54 PM

For the record I've had holding calls on field goal attempts, face mask, def PI. And even intentional grounding on a 60 yard TD. Offsides by defense and false starts. I don't need anything with these.

Did you see a sasquatch too?

With default sliders?

Yeah I wouldn't call my stance as 'getting up on a pedestal,' I'm simply trying to imply that asking for something breaks something else.

If I'm not seeing these unusual sack numbers, and EA decides to listen to these squeaky wheels, then what does that means for me and others like me? Will it mean no sacks.???? I understand your concerns, now understand mine.

BTW,
I'm playing on default sliders and the game is good and I hope it stays that way.

I would clear your settings reset at default. Gorilla isn't having the issue and I noticed he said he plays on default.

Try a game just default. Let us know the sack totals. Then try one where you adjust the Int Grounding. And make an observation. Then reset them again to default and see what the holding slider does.

I plan on doing something similar, but the more people we can get to build the sample size the better.

An easy way to find out is to just play. If you have 15 seconds to call a defensive play (instead of 10) you know you have it.

I'm glad they fixed the sim stats but they didn't fix the Kickoff stat that flashes that every kicker in the league averages a 22.3 yard start. It's a small glitch that I see at the start of every game.

They said they fixed some commentary but Simms was commenting on these long runs my RB had in the last game and one was only 2 yards. Don't remember hearing that before. I do like the season commentary and comparisons they do in the game now.

# 435 BadAssHskr @ 10/09/14 03:00 PM

I like how the shortened the time that the screen goes black after an injury or timeout, the places where on tv youd expect a comercial.

On the slim play calling, you cant see your personel, i like the slim, but i like better being able to see on screen whos currently on the field in the particular formation better.

Thanks, just tested and I do see that I do get 15 seconds to choose my defensive plays

Auto delegate improvements?
What exactly do you mean?
Auto delegate game prep? On the main screen or in
settings?
Thanks

# 439 ulua @ 10/09/14 04:16 PM

# 440 Moss44 @ 10/09/14 04:55 PM
