Pete Carroll moved my best two linebackers, Justin Houston and Dee Ford, to DE and released a shit load of players lol. That's what I get for quitting!
At least you ended up getting a free win against the Falcons- keeping you atop the wild card hunt.
Good and bad.

Yeah, my kid was about to do something super dangerous so I had to pause real quick to save him from himself. Came back and the play was starting.

Yup. I wish I knew how to exploit AI like my boy Sanjo. Next time I'll just Sim it..not playing the CPU again.

AFC South Fam is a stiff 6-5 race as well!
Has the new Steelers owner been fully vetted? He hasn't posted on the site in days. I've PM'd him to say hello and find out about scheduling our game after the vance.
Anyway, the AFC playoff race is going to be a mess over these last five weeks. I'm getting myself together, but a poor run could end my playoff streak.

Not expecting it next year, but really hope they do connected seasons at some point. Really happy with the team I've created this far.
One of the problems right now is the drafted players in skill positions lack attributes in the strength category. Some of the best real WRs and RBs have 80+ marks in strength, and almost every drafted player in that position tops out at 50. There was some articles about it when it first launched.
Otherwise I really like the random generated draft classes.
Confidence is largely a bust the way it is implemented, but I think I've gotten over that personally, and JohnnyPark has shown you can take a team from the bottom to the top.
Also can't wait to see what OOTP does with their football title. Most likely jump in on that right away.

I like the random draft classes too. Seeing guys like that CB Ferny landed (Turner) in the sixth round is awesome.
So we're done with the one on one USER CATCHES? Which way is the league leaning for the rule change next season?
I hit both of the UC's I attempted Vs. Mcneily and it felt pretty good. I'd like to see them stay if possible.

No catches were made in my games via user catch. I do think it helps though, and even though FMTs one-on-one rule at first had me think...ehhhhhh, I think it helps control some real BS since anyone can save a video.
The better question is if someone has a game breaker and it's obviously not 1on1, where do you go from there. Take the loss and complain later?

1 on 1 catches seem mostly broken on zone coverage deep like Cover 3 and Cover 4. The CBs dropping into the zone have AI issues.
that's why you're allowed to manually control them
I like it in one on one situations because I feel like there's no way the cpu is making this catch for me, but the ballhawk could certainly make the pick.
By taking control I can feel that I'm able to hit another gear, get over the top and time the catch. Or at minimum, be in a position to bump the CB off the route of the ball saving a pick.

It was more like the 20, maybe even 25. But I actually agree with you.
Good game man, I had to keep it simple with my QB out. Honestly should have lost, that was pick late in the game that your LB dropped.
I couldn't get a user int for my life that game, I was so close but you just snuck it in there or I didn't get the animation. Definitely a battle and you really slung it around.
I switch to him that far out, but I'm not moving the left stick until the camera moves closer and I can judge my speed to the marker.
Yeah that's the issue. Switching to the CB alot of the time causes a glitch and they slow down for a split second allowing the WR to get more than 1 step therefore allowing a big play. They seem to have tuned this down alot in the past few tuning updates, but it's still rampant online and in MUT.
Agreed. The DB's are allowed to be taken control of the entire flight of the ball. The WRs should be allowed to as well.

Too exploitable. I don't mind the 1 on 1 coverage deep ball rule at all. It shouldn't be done in double coverage, you should pay for throwing that.
I think everyone in this league has had the exact opposite feeling. Switch to a CB right before the ball arrives and you have a great chance at a pick. But yes, if you switch too early and hit triangle, your DB will slow down because he's attempting to locate the ball too early.
People threw like 30+ ints the last few season because many people could rarely complete a deep ball. That's the whole reason we were testing out user control catching.

Moving the manual receiver is an invitation to abuse. the AI follows the receivers not the ball.
I agree with this 100%. In the other league I have a drafted RB who is a complete monster in every category except strength, he falls down when you look at him funny.
When I was using the Rams a few years back I had this RB, CJ Sanford, who had strength in the 80s. He was average in every other category but was impossible to bring down. I would invite the contact and would stiff arm or truck through dudes. It was awesome.

but a manual defender follows the ball, and AI WR follows the route
Madden is one big abuse!

so the fairest way is not allowing manual control on either side
let RNG decide the game and we can play this league with pen and paper

Hey duders, Finally picked up the game thanks to the PSN Sale. I don't typically do franchise mode but this seems like a good group. Any teams available at the moment? Or can I be added to wait list?

If you were in a hypothetical safe lane with riki/veno against a solo phoenix, would you die 4 times in the first ten minutes?
As long as the answer is no, you're on the list!
