Iāve been playing madden a very long time. Obviously, thereās been a downturn in quality thatās been evident dating back to probably the 7th gen consoles (PS3, 360).
But this version has been more than challenging, and for this post Iāll merely inquire about the passing. Iām a big franchise mode player, and nowadays I really only have time to play on offense. SuperSimming defense and pass blocking are issues I have as well, but why in the world is it so hard to complete a pass?
The receivers get touched, drop. Accuracy at best is inconsistent even if youāre throwing from a clean pocket, good footwork, receiver open, etc. Route running seems to be in the same boat, Iāve seen below average overall CBs lock up receivers like itās Revis Island. I donāt want it to be insanely easy, but I donāt want it to be impossible either. I have tinkered around with sliders, coaching adjustments, playbooks, I have raised and lowered player overalls/attributes and itās the same results. Iāve gone down difficulties as well but it just makes it stupid easy.
Are scripted animations in gameplay superseding player overalls, momentum, etc? Is the AI to the point to where itās just doing whatever it takes to beat you? I just donāt understand. If someone has some slider set ups that may help or something Iām missing, Iām all ears.
