4.5 Still Broken

By CoachDumphool321

100 accuracy QBs with 10,000 plays experience still throwing six picks a game if they come in as backups, but not if they start.

100 'avoid fumble' rated veteran players still fumbling three times a game if the other team is perceived to be "better" by the sim

Constant pass interference or facemask penalties if the "worse" team stops the "better" team's drive

The "worse" team misses 3 yard field goals if needed for the "better" team to win

AI teams all jettisoning their top players at the first preseason game because they can't manage the cap creating a ridiculous third free agent scramble period which ends with stacked human teams and a bunch of ai teams nobody will pick up because they're so bad

This game is like 6 or 7 years in the making and this is what you've come up with?

I contribute actual money to this thing and I can't for the life of me figure out why.

This is all shameful nonsense making the play results have virtually nothing to do with player ratings or experience and everything to do with the game's determination of which is the better team and therefore that team must always win.

If you lose all your clientele, you won't be able to say it wasn't deserved

I do think you are being a bit too harsh. The released updates are to provided a better feel....as requested by fans....this is very natural in all walks of life...be it postal gaming or next gen consoles.

If your successful gameplan is stuck in limbo... perhaps read up on the changes and adjust accordingly ?

PS...not trying to be a ****, but I know where you are coming from.....go adapt !

I definitely agree with the fumble thing. A player with an Avoid Fumble of 100 should have a good chance to get through the season without fumbling. It does happen.

What a horse **** OP.
How much money have you actually spent on one league?

Shows you been here just shy of 3 months and in one league.(8-24 record) Your either trolling or a multi. Either way, it doesnt look good on you.

Might be the overall talent nerf I read about somewhere OR the young age of the league I'm in, but I have no problem with the current game engine.

It's possible to run. It's possible to stop the run. We're airing it out like there's no tomorrow. Scores seem realistic most of the time.
