Which part of the mode? Solo Challenges
Summarize your bug not only in Solo Challenges, but also H2H, Solo Battles, well in every mode I face a rate of +80% INT when my 95 QB Joe Montana throws out of sack. the throws are so exactly thrown to a defender that they in most cases do not even have to move. on the other hand, my opponents (either AI or human, does not matter) almost never throw an INT out of sack (no matter whether the QB is good or not, whether he has abilities or not...). in more than 50% they get a completion. it so sacks being beaten by a 40+ yards pass where the throwing animation starts after I hear the 'sound' of the sack
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? not sure, whether it is Joe Montana, my style of playing or whatever.
What happens when the bug occurs? INT
What do you expect to see? a realistic rate of INT when thrown out of sack

not only in Solo Challenges, but also H2H, Solo Battles, well in every mode I face a rate of +80% INT when my 95 QB Joe Montana throws out of sack. the throws are so exactly thrown to a defender that they in most cases do not even have to move. I recorded a play where 2 of my players how were close enough to at least interfere the INT ran away (one player was almost at the spot of the INT when the passing animation was starting, while the other WR's route was passing close by (see here: Madden NFL 21 Throw out of Sack literally always results in INT - YouTube ; sorry for the speed of the video! I recorded it some days ago before I realised that I did not do the recordings in normal speed ☹️). 

on the other hand, my opponents (either AI or human, does not matter) almost never throw an INT out of sack (no matter whether the QB is good or not, whether he has abilities or not...). in more than 50% they get a completion. it so sacks being beaten by a 40+ yards pass where the throwing animation starts after I hear the 'sound' of the sack

  • the worst thing is that I have to user the sacking player since if I do not do it the sack is so often broken by the QB. in combination with the 'Roughing the passer' penalties I get when my player is not in the range of the camera anymore (due to the pass), this is a huge source of frustration...

    it is really weird. there must something be with Joe Montana and/or his abilities. I have pocket deadeye and this ability of perfect accuracy outside the numbers and he throws 2 incompletions in a row where both conditions should have applied (without being pressured). pretty annoying.

    it feels so ridiculous seeing my opponents' QBs so often throwing out of sack just anywhere but interceptable. and my QB Joe Montana (with abilities 'Pro Read' and 'faster throws under pressure' and 'pocket deadeye' throws every (!) throw out of sack almost directly into the arms of a defender. there is something weird in this constellation of abilities!

    I've added one more video to the playlist (#2, taken from a Solo Battle game) where the throw out of sack goes directly into the arms of a CB (who is standing still and does not have to move at all to make the INT) while the WR who is standing next to him starts to run away as soon as the 'throw out of sack' animation starts.

    that is really weird and very frustrating since you cannot even disturb the defender trying to avoid the INT....
