It feels like RBs are too slow trying to hit a hole as well.
You can't spam deuce close pitch huh buddy? [Reply]
Overall, the game is shit. Compared to 18, it’s the same game sans retarded Superman coverage. I had a game where the opposing LB had 8 ****ing pass breakups,
WRs drop everything .
Zero defensive penalties.
Playing as. Qb in CFM, run Game is worthless. Just throw it every down.
SAme shit as 18 when you’re trying to run down the clock, there’s always a series of mysterious “injuries” that stop the clock before the 2 min warning.
Pass and run blocking is shit. Running for your life on every play. Not sure if it’s because I’m playing QB inCFM or what. I’m keeping backs in, ID the 5th pass rusher, shifting the line etc, and still get smoked . Can’t throw anything other than crossing routes because I’m getting a rusher in my face on my hitch regardless of drop depth.
Tried adjusting sliders. Meh. Even went retarded and put my pass and run block sliders all the way in my favor and the CPU in my favor.......made zero difference. Still only had time to toss a slant or quick cross or hitch
Just started with regular settings and sliders when I booted up. Advanced I think.
runnign simulation, not arcade. Run game and run/pass balance is pointless if you’re inCFM as QB.
If you’re a 18 user contemplating buying 19.......don’t. Save your money :-).
LUckily, I had 19 as a gift for my birthday. I’d be pissed if I dropped my own money on it.
Maybe full franchise or whatever is better. I hope so, because otherwise it’s the same ****ing game. With the exception of weird slow change of direction shit. Not even hard cuts......just any change whatsoever is just ****ing slow
Sliding defenders into position , LBs jumping and tipping passes even if you’re double tapping to get a touch intermideiate pass. Clairvoyant defenders tipping passes when they’re not looking.
Overall.....just a shade above shit. Fun but, no where close to what a football game should be. Thank god I didn’t spend $70 on it. Lol [Reply]

Lol no it doesn't. The forced animations **** everything over. Way too easy to just run crossing routes like slants over and over and over again. Don't even try to pass over the middle on a shallow route or you're getting picked by an ILB even if you high pass it. Running game is almost nonexistant because you're sucked into an animation of you get anywhere near a defensive player that slows you down. [Reply]
Theres 1 formation that I use that is almost guaranteed money every time. Trips offset I think? One of Kelce, Hill, or your slot receiver is coming open off the first play in that book, and if they are playing off the LOS audible into inside zone and get an easy 5 or 6 yards.
Your cheese play is still relatively effective, KC. [Reply]
On the positive side of things, your opponents strengths and weaknesses actually matter this year on Madden. Jacksonville is hell to pass against, and the Rams are fucking horrible to run against. [Reply]
That's not that bad. That was a really tight window you probably shouldnt have been throwing into. It looks worse than it really is because the animation makes him jump too far, but he didn't have to actually jump that far to make a play on the ball. He jumps BEYOND the area he had to get to to make a play, so it looks absurd.
Adjust coverage and pass reaction slider if that really bothers you. [Reply]

He glitches over there to knock the ball down. [Reply]
