Summarize your bug Tackling is completely broken - About 90% of the time since the last update, a defender trying to tackle a ball carrier will have his tackle broken for a majority of plays. The ball carrier will make a run and get tackled by the defender but the tackling defender will slip off the ball carrier as though he just tried to grab something covered in baby oil and the ball carrier is not even affected - not slowed or stuttered. This has nothing to do with the tackling stats of the taclking player as the majority of the time this has happened, I have used a MLB against a running back - and the Linebacker is 99 for tackling. On the 2 out of 10 occasions where the tackle sticks, the tackler always falls back regardless of the strength rating of the two players - Again my MLB is 99 for Strength, Tackling, Hit Power and still gets knocked backwards by speed backs who have strength ratings in the 70s. Therefore the AI is constantly gaining yards either due to missed tackles or falling forward during tackles.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play offline franchise and attempt to tackle
What happens when the bug occurs? As described above, either the ball carrier runs like nothing has happened and the tackle just slips off or the ball carrier falls forward through the tackle and gains yards.
What do you expect to see? For the tackle to be made at least 80-90% of the time if no skill move has been performed - or for players who have tackling stats of 99 - I would expect at tackle success ratio of 99% of the time and only have the odd occasion where a tackle is missed.

I know there are a fair few tackles in the NFL that are missed - but when you have a player you created via draft to be a tackling machine you dont expect to miss 80-90% of your tackles - especially when they are tackles that you are hitting almost head on and not reaching to attempt
