I really think Cam was detuned on New Years
I have zero issues w my diamond Cam. He hits my 97 Calvin Johnson on the top of the helmet 100% of the time, every time. Amazingly reliable....
Definitely seen a decrease in play. On Quick Slants he throws the ball into the ground at times about 5 yards in front of the receiver.
Quote from Allenzo1226 >> passing is fine for me with him. QB runs have been awful. He stumbles everytime without anyone touching him.
It's called a "business decision"...remember EA's old motto: "If it's in the game, it's in the game!"

Quote from bc31981 >> Seems like its more about the upgraded Defenses
New cards always play worse after the "honeymoon" period. Been that way for years.
Unlike HB, speed is all that matters. But speed is a relative to the defense. 99 speed is nothing if you face 99 speed defenders. 80 speed is much faster than 60 speed LB/MLB.
But for QB, I personally find it difficult to program QB. If you think about it, what is accuracy? One can assume that you throw the ball to a spot and hit that spot with % of success. And one can even further assume that this % rate does not change regardless what defense you face.
Personally, I think the second assumption is not totally correct. I think your QB performs worse if you face tough D. I think the program will adjust your QB to lower the accuracy if pressure is coming. This could be a reason why Cam is so bad right now because every defense has godly UF LT coming at you. And top o-line is still at 92 overall while top d-line/LB/MLB is 98 overall.
Quote from Waterchickens31 >> I really think Cam was detuned on New Years I believe that Cam was detuned when he didn't go for the fumble in the SB, lost to the Broncos and ran away from the post game interview.
:lol: Savage

Cam keeps spiking the ball 5 yards downfield to no one or he sits there as guys sprint wide open, only to be sacked. I am not thrilled with his performance either.
99% believe he was dumbed down. Not sure when it happened but I do remember having a lot of fun with him then all of a sudden he turned into real life Cam Newton...... Last year the Russell Wilson Easter card was a fricken beastttt. Then like a week later EA lowered his stats and he was decent. The stat change was noticeable on the card though. So I'm not 100% about Cam
Probably got one of those B-grade variant cards. Hate when you get one of those. Sell that lemon and buy a good version.
I’m still rocking the free Brady, his TOR is weirdly accurate and amazing lol I love it

^ this
I have noticed the same thing with this card in particular. Cam has played pretty awful for me. It may still be upgraded defenses but I don’t know. He plays like an elite I for me. All balls get swatted, thrown at the ground or he can break a sack for his life.
can't put my finger on it, but he plays different after new years. he was lights out the best QB around when I grabbed him day one of UF. got 2 solid weeks out of him and now I'm back to other options. shame.
Quote from Swaglife81 >> So we had a few threads about UF Cam. But lately seems everyone has had issues with him recently. It's not defense. Cam was great for me Pre Xmas and the week after. Sometime after NYs it was like a light switch turned off. I know in my league slack channel I hear Cam complaints daily now. Cam soared the ball into the stands on a wide open Slot Crosses or something.
Ever sense my console days years ago, myself and others at times thought cards played really well when they were new. Newly acquired on your team new, is what I mean. Than after 7 days or so they seem to fall back. Play like normal.

Imho, I think EA pumps up new cards the first week or so and than they drop down in attributes. Or less than what we see on the card. Invisible stuff. I wouldn't put it past them to do some behind the scenes stuff with new releases. Make people happy they upgraded with an invisible attribute boost. Than after some time they drop the attributes down in some way to again motivate for an upgrade.
