    It's not like the level was designed to make the humna players better....it was designed to help the CPU win games at all cost.

    The thing is it's been this way for years why would it change now?

    I guess for those who choose to play on the level they also have to be willing to accept these types of things happening. If you can't accept it why even bother playing on the level?

    Maybe because anything below All-Madden is incredibly easy and unrealistically unchallenging.

      I totally agree with that. Any other level is too easy. I can deal with the crappy offensive line play and suspect defense, but it's frustrating on 3rd or 4th down to make a good read, pass the ball to an open receiver, and he drops it 8/10 times to end a drive.

        This.

        I did everything right as a player. I called the right play, and I executed it correctly on the field, by putting the correct player (in my case, Michael Crabtree, high route running, high catch rating) in the correct position to make the play. And I made the play.

        But the CPU decided that, even though their defense didn't stop the play, the play needed to be stopped anyways, so *drop*.

        I have noticed, especially in last year's game, but at times in this year's game as well, if you call the correct play against the CPU's defense, and they don't have a defender in position to tackle you (I.E. you'd take the play to the house), the AI will make you drop the pass, since there is no defender in position to prevent a score.

          I play mostly online on All-Pro difficulty and I am seeing guys like Calvin Johnson drop passes where he has defenders clearly beaten. I'm not going to debate which level is easier/harder and all of that. I'm only stating that I am seeing a few too many wide open dropped passes on the All-Pro level as well.

            Your point is right, but I'd argue that there need to be some "CPU determined variables". Fumbles are a good example of this.

            Dropped passes are probably the second best example, but as everyone in this thread has already said, it shouldn't happen anywhere near as frequently. I mean, some of this generation's best receivers have been known to drop the occasional pass that they should catch. But beating a defender by 5-10 yards and dropping a lob play two, three, four times in a game? You could give any quarterback in the league that much space on a defender and he'd make that catch 9/10 times.

            Also, making it so receivers drop these types of throws isn't making the game more difficult. Its sacrificing realism.

                Doesn't help is the AI decides you're gonna drop it.

                  you receive a stat boost when you user catch. so you are less likely to drop it.

                    the ai decides that because you're on all-madden. i know i've made the point already, but i still don't get why you play on that. i play on custom. i've set it to where i can have success, have failures, and still have fun. all madden does nothing but cheat the user.

                        I am actually playing on custom myself as well. Same thing.

                          We just need a sim vs arcade slider. A baseball game had it a few years ago.

                            When my receiver has a 96 catch rating, there is never a valid excuse for him to drop a wide open pass. Ever. I don't care what difficulty setting you're on.

                              96 out of 100 times, there's no excuses. The dude ain't perfect
