Knockdowns

I'm just curious to why everyone has this slider at 100. Other than possibly getting better QB accuracy numbers, why have it so high? I don't see how it would lower interceptions at all, in fact it might have the opposite affect. Like in several games I play there are interceptions that people get that say "User Swat" or something of that nature and wind up picking the ball off. So maybe the knockdown slider helps them get to the ball better and gives them even more opportunities at getting picks.

So I guess what I'm saying is has anyone tried actually lowering it and seeing if maybe that would help the interception problem a little bit?

Re: Knockdowns

Someone here can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that Ian or OMT indicated in a thread that Knockdowns affect DL/DE batting the ball down and NOT DBs.

From what I can tell in exhaustive testing, that is a false statement. With KD high, the AI defenders CB, LB, etc, will go for the KD first. They will also play more aggressive Defense. With it lower, they will lay back a bit and try to catch the INT first. With KD at 50, and Defensive awareness above 50 at 55, the human will get many more pick 6's and INT in general than with KDs high. This is what I've seen through about 100 games or more of testing.

I would not put human awarenss above 55 in any circumstance, it ruins the game.

If your tests show different, please post.

Well so far in my testing (this is CPU v CPU btw) having the knockdowns at 0 has lowered the INTs by 1-2 a game. I'll try a few more with knockdowns at 0 and some with it at 100 and see what happens.
