Def right about that. I know myself I would've went crazy but as Armor says. You have to pay attention to what happens more frequently because it happening once, may only happen once but if you change after that one time you never know.

So far I've watched one game with the "basic" all madden and that game was pretty decent. Currently watching my second and looking like I may leave it like this. I mean games aren't horrible. Not even bad, although I am only in my first couple games. Excited to see where this takes me.

Honestly it helps to enjoy the game more because you just know it’s the game and nothing you changed or did. The other thing is it’s an alternate reality league so trying to mimic the NFL with stats and standing just won’t happen. I mean Madden could have had the Cardinals as a great team at the start making the playoffs all of the time. meanwhile the 49ers Being in the middle of the road and if puffy came in who knows. Madden can’t simulate heart, passion and other variables like small injuries never known to us. Those things right there change the landscape of the season as we know.

Agreed! One thing I like to do is watch a batch of games between the same teams with my sliders unchanged. Doing so has shown me that results will vary, sometimes dramatically from game-to-game. Like you said, if there is a constant issue then yeah...may want to revisit the drawing board. But for the most part, there are enough variables at work to keep things unpredictable, assuming the base slider set allows for that "organic realism" to unfold.

All these takes are fantastic! One other thing. I never chase stats, ever. The game will produce stats to how you play it

I play cpu vs cpu. But I like all your guys take. I actually use pro difficulty but keep in mind I’m doing cpu vs cpu so I’m not controlling players. It would b too ray if I was. But it also makes the players play to their ratings. I actually use all default. I do 10 min quarters with no accel. I don’t look for stats I look for avg amount of plays and this does it for me. What I don’t like bout accel is it runs down clock too much in key situations. And seems like it messes with certain animations. Might just b me. But it works for me.
