Yes. I'm playing as the Ravens in franchise. I do not get any success out of having a pass-first philosophy. Like in real life, for this team, the running game MUST be the focus, and the passing game must work off the run.

Also, going for it on fourth down results in failure majority of the time, unless it's in that juncture of the game when it's necessary.

For challenge, move the game speed from normal to fast. It makes a world of difference.

Yeah the control takes the longest to get use to, but once you've got that down this game is amazing. I'm still playing the hell out of it. I'll keep it & continue to update my rosters if I have too. Madden still isnt holding this game...With that said, dont compare the controls to Madden just look at it as a completely new form of gameplay. I was so use to skating around on the field with Madden & NCAA I almost didnt give the game a chance, even with the crazy graphics & presentation. Once I let go it was on!! Good luck

do some searches in the forum for "controls" or "going from madden" or some other keywords. there are some good threads about making the adjustment or just understanding the way some things work that are definitely different than ea.
