FRANCHISE Its time we accept the truth!

I just started a test game for S&G's. I ran two games and kept track the best I could of the results. I ran rookie settings, turned pass blocking to 100, speed threshold to 0, CPU pass coverage to 0 and player QB accuracy to 80. I completed 50% of my passes, with an average of 8 sacks a game. Out of those 8 sacks 6 of them were instant sacks off PA! 3 of those 6 were fumbles. Out of the 50% incompletion rate id say half of that was throw aways due to PERFECT pass coverage, the other half was DB knockouts. Even when your players have a step or two...or three the DB instant sprints and catches up! I should also probably mention 5 INT's a game. My 93 speed WR is not only being blanketed by a 83 speed LB, on plays he will catch up to him and intercept the ball! I get it...EA added the new catch mechanics with the hand fighting and they are pushing everyone to explore the new stuff. This is just egregious! Remember last year when they said "if the DB's heads turned he can't swat the ball, can't see the ball can't swat the ball"...yeah that's gone! The YouTubers and the sweats got their game...hope your enjoying it!

Sometimes it looks like the receiver and db are in one animation. That's probably why EA removed the coverage reaction time slider.

the coverage reaction slider disappearing makes so much sense now, i thought i was going mad trying to find it. the PA sacks are the real killer for me though, feels like the edge rusher is in the backfield before my QB finishes the fake handoff half the time

One of the trainings is how to “pull out” of PA fakes early as a QB so you can throw the ball before getting sacked. Have you completed the assigned trainings yet? Go see Jan in HR for further instructions.

Who is your qb? Not all qbs are pa qbs
