Madden 23 (Next Gen) Too many interception
There are too many interceptions! Almost all somewhat covered routes are caught by the CB's. This will be adjusted again? Even very good and experienced players on youtube throw one interception aft...
Forum Discussion
At the end of the day, they will fix this but we are going to have to wait awhile. They punish lifelong loyalty at EA and cater to whatever cash grabbing system they have in place first. Only updates we will see are for MUT and reward packs and anything that they deem important financially while neglecting their original fan bases ask for. MaddenMobile was the downwards turning point of this entire franchise. Sad to watch, you would think there are a few devs over there that are truly dedicated and want to release a good game but a gaming company that has only ever cared about in game purchases will continue to make a poor product. The only replies on this whole forum will go to solving tickets relating to additional financial gains for them even after they get millions of people buying 70$ copies of the game that they refuse to service.

I play an online franchise with a friend. We do not play the games, they are simulated in slow mode (we spectate); typically 7-10 interceptions are thrown per game. Changing the skill level has no effect. Adjusting the interception slider has no effect. In this case, player skill or the lack thereof is not relevant, the matches are between computer-controlled teams. It's not a bug that has manifested on this franchise only, we have independently started other franchises, and the issue persists. There are several videos on Youtube with other customers having the same issue, there are articles on the internet bringing attention to this issue; when can we expect this issue to be resolved?
I’m having a hard time believing the EA isn’t fully aware of this.
I spent some time on the practice field today as the Dolphins, throwing to Tyreek Hill and co, and just observing behavior in real time and in slow mo replays. The story is consistently the same. Even a receiver like Hill makes no serious effort to compete for a catch. The CB is diving, making great breaks on the ball, stealing away every contested ball, and actually acting like he cares. Hill, on the other hand, runs his route and if he catches it, he catches it, and if he doesn’t, he doesn’t seem to care. It’s almost as if the game expects me to take over the receiver and make him give a crap about catching the ball. This is on All-Pro difficulty, not the highest. Further, on a short 5 yard slant dig route, if a defender in zone is in front of him, he makes NO effort to slide out from behind him to make himself open for a catch. He just stands there behind the defender, and neither of them move (why should the defender move if the receiver is content to be completely screened?). It just feels like an artificial way to code the AI. If defensive backs could catch as well in real life as they do in this game, they’d be all pro receivers. This seriously needs looking at, and there’s NO way you guys put the hours in testing this that I know you did, and have no idea what we’re talking about.
Going on almost a month and the interceptions issue still isn't fixed. Not cool bro. Not cool at all.
I said on this board after playing the beta Madden 23 was gonna be the year of too many interceptions and too many sacks. The defenders react to balls with there backs turned its crazy. They jump routes as soon as the QB raises his arm to throw the ball. The ball speed is way too slow and there still isn't an arc or trajectory on the ball. Every time my QB gets hit he throws a pick. The ball never just hits the ground its thrown 15-20 yards downfield for an easy interception. And defensive backs run better routes than WR do. Man coverage is OP too many CB running step for step or even in front of the WR especially on go routes. And then when the ball is thrown the defender jumps up 20 feet in the air to knock the ball down.
- @EA_Illium Every year you guys nerf the defense for the babies who aren't good..... Just create a rookie mode for these people, as opposed to nerfing the defense for those of us who like a challenge.

You must be one of those who spill out money to B better at this crap game. For the fact that EA can't even get the ratings accurate before releasing this trash, they then knock off rating points drastically for teams that lose a game. Yet even that doesn't matter when it comes to the defense. A team with the lowest rating defense can still pick off a ball 6-7 times against the highest rated offense. I know. I've simulated on All-Madden multipe times and the outcome has been the same. Even the animations are garbage. I watched a fumble happen. The person closet to the ball was a guard. He falls like his ankle broke when a defender got next to him. I watched a wide open WR catch a ball in stride only to invisible shoe tackled by a safety who somehow gained 99 speed to chase him down and dive and clearly missed but the WR falls. The game sucks. You're giving good comments in hopes EA will do you some favor. Get it in your head. EA only wants your money. Your lick EA * comments won't get you in good graces, let alone make EA finally put out something even good to an actual realistic simulated football game for people hard earned money. The programmers should be fired. The Frostbite engine should be destroyed. Madden's good name should be taken off cause this game doesn't represent him well at all. It's time for 2K to be allowed to take Crack at football again. Pretty sure EA sales will decline. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a 2K fan but they're the only other good sport game makers out there. #NFLGIVE2KASHOT
- @QuikVengence Oh booo hooo... You losers complain YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR.... If the game is trash then stop playing it... Move on. Vote with your wallet and your eyeballs.... but no, instead you're here on the EA FORUM whining about a video game that you're bad at.
