Re: Madden 23 (Next Gen) Too many interception

The issue is the CPU interception slider doesn’t do much like it did in the old games. Im not great at the game but normally play on all pro and I’ll throw maybe 10-15 pics a season. With this year even with the CPU sliders turned to 0 I’m still throwing 3-4 a game now. I know people say just get better. True yes but also just let the slider make more of a difference

    Human throwing INTs is currently fine in the game.

    CPU throwing INTs on All Pro & All Madden is what is too much. I user the D Line and my CBs led the league in INTs on All Pro because CPU QBs are braindead if they're not the top 5 guys at the position. Davis Mills is the worst CPU controlled QB in the history of Madden. He threw 4 INTs to my CBs in one half.

    We as humans can get better and not throw INTs, but what we can't control (with broken sliders) is how awful the CPU is.

    Screw the “get better” crowd. The game has sliders that are supposed to work so I don’t have to get better to play a remotely realistic game if football. Why don’t they say EA should get better at having working sliders?

    Bunch of apologists for an unacceptable product

  • Hey Darko, 

    I’m sure you’ve seen this extensive thread already since you’re replying in it but I figure I’ll reply to you directly in hopes of some sort of response to the issue here. 
    Interceptions in the game are way too common, if I throw a contested pass over 10 yards it’s about a 60/40 chance it gets picked off regardless of receiver or cornerback ratings. 

    I even went as far as maxing out a created QB with all 99 passing stats and he’s throwing minimum 2 picks per game in simulation, typically 3-5 against any somewhat good defense. This is on a PS5 console. I’ve started to adjust to it when controlling my team but even then, throwing 5 yard dink and dunk passes all game and never being able to throw for over 300 yards in a game with Tom Brady, Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Julio Jones on a team is getting boring quick. 
    There are also a lot of convenient holding penalties or fumbles when you finally do get a big play to go through. 

    I’ve gotten to the point where I just divide the season total interceptions by 1/4 to give a more realistic stat line lol. Please fix this so the game can be more enjoyable, I really want to be able to enjoy the new rosters and graphics updates from 22.

    I have given up on it and gone back to Madden 22. It has a ton of flaws but was still fun to play. In Madden 23 The ball trajectory mechanics are broken and the psychic defenders who never drop a ball ruin the immersion. If a defender is within two yards of a pass they cut the route, even if facing the wrong direction, and snag the ball. I have truly given up on madden. The promises from two years ago were lies as always. Until there is competition for madden  I am done and will spend my limited free time doing something else.

  • @EA_Darko I’m politely asking you to get your company to fix the interception/slider issues. Or at least publicly acknowledge those problems
  • So this thread has been going on for a month, and not a single Dev has responded directly to the issue. No one has even acknowledged the issue, and there is no sign of a resolution to this issue in sight. 

    I would ask again, respectfully, that someone associated with the Madden team to opine on this issue that has been laid out before you extensively, in detail.

    What are your plans for resolving this issue?

    When can we expect those plans to take effect?

    Thank you

  • @jdblair5 I’ve heard the next update isn’t until mid October. So that’s probably the earliest. But I could be wrong

    I think the silence just shows they don't care about consumers or the quality of the product. They already tricked us into buying it, no need to fix anything since EA got what they wanted (money).

    It's not the silence. EA is basically threatening to remove those that are basically telling the truth about this game and giving their cheerleaders crap about defending this garbage. I'm an example.  Got an email from them telling me to behave basically rather than giving an answer to the problem we've been discussing for some time now. Smh. Screw EA and this game. #2KNFLWASBETTER. #NFLGIVE2KACHANCE. #NFLGIVEANYONEACHANCEOTHERTHANEA

    The interceptions in this game are ridiculous.  I play online with the PS5.  I have had so many passes where the corner appears to be in man coverage, I then throw the ball at the receivers break and the cornerback instantly turns around and picks off the ball.  Its like all the cornerbacks have alien superpowers and senses.    I did buy a football game,  right EA?
