As in CPU's QBR or my own?
If you're on about the CPU then yeah, they tend to get around the 130/140 mark most games :<

CPU aye
Bump your pass defense reaction time up to match the AI, you'll find their quarterback taking a lot more shots at matchups and throwing some incompletions rather than posting a 90% accuracy because he's putting it on wide open receivers cos the corners can't react to anything more complex than a straight seam route

Went 10-6 in my first season post-Marks and have started 3-0 in my second season. General strength of the team is what's pulling me through right now because my starting QB is shite. Somehow won ORoY last year throwing for 2,848yds 16 TDs and 11 INTs, 60% completion. Had a complete RG3 in his second year though and started 311/1/4/42% in 3 games. My 3 wins were by scores of 14-13 @ Tennessee, 13-10 @ Miami and 9-3 against the Texans, hooray for defense

Had a match yesterday where I put up 200+ yards and 3 TDs, but the best bit of it for me was the block on the CB (I ran a wheel route) that allowed someone to score a 45 yard TD.
Still yet to start my Coach franchise. Thinking of taking Titans.

Play action wheel route on ace pair slot formation is cheating. 9 times out of 10 the corners and safeties step up to a blitz and you can just dunk it over them for a 40-60 yard gain, depending on how long you wait to release it.
Just had the worst game of my life. Leading 34-29 against the Chargers for the game that will basically decide AFC West and Carr is sacked on first and short with less than a minute to go on the clock. Fumbles the ball and it's returned for a game winning touchdown on the Chargers following drive. Almost threw my controller at the wall, it was the most agonizingly slow fumble I'll ever see, I'm sure of it.
Edit Bills are going 9-0 so far for the season, Giants, Jets and Vikings are all 0-9. Giants and Jets were both play-off teams last year. Madness. Though I suppose with a QB corps of Henne, Hoyer and some 7th round rookie with an overall of 63 NYG don't stand much of a chance.

Still not used to this play calling. QB sneak on 3rd and inches with 6 seconds to go. Stopped. Time out. Flick left twice to the FG menu and accidentally picked fake (run). no way to change to a FG

The next gen version of 15 has an updated playcall system, not sure if it's on the PS3/360 versions. Suggests plays based on down/distance, player preference and all that.
In other news, every quarterback is now ruined for me and I'm giving up and switching to a run-only offense

Fuck kind of play calling is that? Gameflow? Nah I manually went into Special Teams to QB Sneak. Then when I selected a play it put me there instead of the suggested play screens. Flicked one page to the right, saw FG in the middle and hit X (as per Madden 25 iirc, I assume so cos it's engrained into my brain). Turned out to be the bottom one, which was run. Lost by 1 as well

Derek Carr just got his first perfect passer rating against the Chargers as we won 37-7. Huge win that seals our play-off place.
Made 15 of 18 attempts for 258 yards, 2 touchdowns. Other touchdowns were a Tyvon Branch pick-six, and a McFadden wildcat counter run from 55 yards out lol. With DMC's I was simply just running out the fourth quarter and the space opened up.
My starting running back Heston Hendrix is on injured reserve now after dislocating his hip. Knew I should have just rested him as we're close to the post-season but I really want him to beat Lynch to #1 running back yards. Think he was only 3 behind at the start of the game :<

I have this incredible talent for drafting running backs who get injured a whole bunch and then go on to have huge careers as soon as I cut/trade/release them
Just lost to a Bengals side leaning on a run game led by a guy I drafted in the 4th round a few years ago and traded away for a 3rd round pick. Another two of my ex-RBs are consistent Pro Bowlers although one guy can't stay healthy for shit. My starting back was second in the league in yards in his first year as a starter and was in the MVP race for some of last season but he's got injured halfway into my first game this year so I'm fucked. QB is still a bellend

DMC just ran for 240 yards against the Chargers in the Divisional. Worst win ever, 19-10. Four field goals ffs lol. A great second year for Carr as he threw for 3,841 yards with a TD-INT ratio of 38:17. Completion of 70% so all of his key stats are up from year one. Picked up League MVP, AFC OPOTY, and Best QB in the AFC. My star running back Heston Hendrix rushed for 1,349 yards (#4 in the NFL), and 13 TD's (#1 RB). Of course they both picked up season ending injuries. So now I'm doing a ange postecoslamp and running my way as close to the Super Bowl as possible.

Don't hold out too much hope
That said I've still had winning seasons (10-6, 11-4-1) and made the AFC championship game in both of my post-Marks seasons although that's more down to having a quality defense and some big play receivers
