All-American with realistic sliders.

You are probably better than 95% of the people playing the game because default Heisman in 2006 was unbeatable for me.

I will start out on default AA with a rivalry match. Not sure who but when you go to quick play in 2006, the CPU often chose a good rivalry match and I might take whoever pops up. I don't like to start a dynasty right away until I get accustomed to the gameplay AND have downloaded rosters. Once I get used to the gameplay, I will start playing with sliders as necessary but hopefully the default won't be so bad.

Personally, I think it would be great if they added a level between AA and Heisman since AA default was too easy and Heisman default incredibly hard. It was hard to tweak sliders to find a happy medium but I still loved the game.

will probably stick with the default level and adjust the sliders depending on how good or bad I am doing...I don't mind losing a game or two I just hate losing due to user error.

It's not so much that Heisman is hard, it's just unrealistic because they just amp up the CPU's ratings. If I hit Ted Ginn Jr. on a slant and he's got a much slower DB 3 or 4 yards behind him, Ginn is going to score in real life, but in the game because of Heisman's jacked up ratings Ginn will be dragged down after 10-15 yards. Unrealistic and it ruins the game for me. It's unfortunate EA can't come up with a much more realistic way of going up a level rather than just giving the CPU a big boost on it's player ratings.

All American
I will dig up last years games sliders to start and go from there.

Texas v. USC. Both very good teams so should be evenly matched, plus it more fun, then I play some random Top 25 v. 1* and 2* teams and also 1* v. 1* to see how the sliders are working.

With the sliders and getting names that gets me up to the time Madden is released and the start of the football season.

Just in the last month I started playing on Heisman and had my best game EVER on Heisman, winning 77-0 over #5 Texas (A team) in the Big XII Championship.

Anyway, I think I will be playing on AA first to get down the new kicking and such, then maybe switch up to heisman.
