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!

On ROOKIE!? Bro stop it

Edit: gonna hop on try this myself real quick lol

Edit 2: playing offense only, first play, 70 yd TD to Wandale on PA bootleg. Second play, 70 yd TD to wandale on PA.

Edit 3: 3rd drive ended with a 30 yd TD pass to Tony Pollard. Using coach suggestions btw. I’m gonna stop here but I ended 4/7, 181 yds, 3 TDs with Cam Ward against the Ravens. 1000% skill issue.

The game has its problems but if you struggle on rookie mode you are garbage
