So what can I do about crazy 5k passing yard seasons

[Cantgetright69]

Donavan mcnabb just threw for 5k yards and matt forte just got 33 total tds. I mean these are great numbers for college kids but for nfl they are unrealistic. I havent really heard anyone talk about this so maybe someone can shed some light on what to do. Do sliders affect simmed games?

[Cantgetright69]

Seriously guys what can I do about these crazy passing seasons? Anything? Or must I blame josh looman yet again

[broncos24]

these stupid stats is the main reason i didnt buy the game.

i hope they improve this problem in the next version. i hope they make one next year

you act like donavin cant do that or any 1 could who seriously thought drew brees would be 16 yards from the record our chad penington gettin over 3000 somebody always shows up with a one year wonder every year prime example shaun alexander

I've never seen anyone get near 5000 passing yards. But I've seen absurdly high INT totals from pretty much every QB. Tom Brady had 26 INTs one year.

He had 35 Ints in year 1 in my Steelers Franchise. But he also has 37 TD's.......

honestly thats a pretty dumb reason not to buy. Stats have been pretty good for me, so i dont think it happens to everyone. In my 2 (almost 3) seasons, the highest TDs thrown was 28, highest passing yards was just under 4000. Only unrealistic stat really is that maybe 5-10 QBs will be around 28 TDs and around 4000 passing yards, but its definetly not a game killer.

Like if I sim my games in my franchise, jamarcus/john beck actually put up reasonable numbers, but when I play with them they always suck-and this could just be me being a bad playcaller, because Ive passed it well with other playbooks and other teams

Its kinda of funny to see some of the INT totals. Eli Manning had 30 INT with 38 TD one year. Flacco's numbers have been just silly 22 TDs versus 45 INTs. The Ravens were awful, Flacco took every snap and Zazzali was drafted the year prior, then the next year they took another QB as the number 2 pick.

The rest of the stats are pretty accurate. The passing ones are fairly absurd though. It's kind of like madden last year.

concidering this game is supposed to be a sim, stupid stats like 45 interceptions ruin the deal for me. i might be lame but i think stats are a big deal in sim games
