QB's are so randomly good or bad
I just played a franchise game with Mariotta against the Browns. This was an online franchise mode vs a user.
Right off the bat the game seemed rigged. My player beat a guy on a drag but right as i threw it the player seemed to be chucked by the cb even though the cb was way behind him(2-3 yarsd just in hand reach), the player caught the ball but did some weird turn around mechanic to allow the cb to catch up (i used RAC) and i get hit sticked by the cpu and fumble. THe worst part about the fumble is the ball literally fell on Corey Davis's stomach, but the defense recovered. The next drive Kiser is rushing all over the place like a mad man. I end up switching up the coaching adjustments(which i think is an awesome addition) so he gets shut down alil more. Next play he fumbles, around 3 defense players and then a linemen jumps on it from 6 yards away, my team seemed more interested in the butterflies on field.
Mariotta who is supposed to have great short accuracy(86) was missing every pass for the first half(except for a bomb that I had wide open). After the td he started to suck, almost like a handicap for me. The most apparent play was when I had the hb in the flat and everyone going deep. I noticed he never had anyone in the flats so I threw a lob to hb, plenty of time for qb nobody 20 yards within the hb. Mariotta over throws the ball out of bounds without me even touching the left stick. Constantly I would beat players in zone shoot for the gap and 3 of his team would jump the ball. My team never did that.
In fact we both agreed he threw more dangerous passes than me. Kiser has better accuracy than Mariotta apparently.
This is so frustrating and really feels as if there are all these hidden random handicaps that have nothing to do with the game.
Anyone else experience terrible qb throws and plays. Madden appears to have no hope.
Simulation mode? I think not?

It's not good, but that's what I think is going on.
I've had this observation as well... you can kind of tell when you're playing "that game". If Aaron Rodgers go 9-9, 180 yards on the first drive (yeah, I know...) you kind of chalk it up as "well, it's Aaron Rodgers." But I'm sorry but there is no way Blake Bortles, Brian Hoyer, or Brock Osweiler does that. One of those guys do it, I just sim thru the game because I know i'm not winning.
But at the same time, it's just as frustrating when the QB goes 0-87 21 INTs in the first three quarters, then completes 150 passes in the 4th quarter.
Obviously I'm exaggerating, but that's what it feels like at times.
