I lost the opener at home to the Bengals...in an absolute heartbreaker. The score was 15-14 Bengals late in the fourth. Under two minutes to go, I'm driving downfield. I get to the thirty yardline. I intentionally subbed Bernard Pierce out (105 yards rushing) and put in Justin Forsett. I planned to get closer/gain a few yards, chew the last minute and a half of clock, and kick the game winning FG. His first carry, Forsett fumbles, Bengals recover, game over. Bengals win 15-14. Flacco threw 2 TDs both to Torrey Smith, Pierce had a good game, Terrence Brooks got his first career INT, Timmy Jernigan got his first sack, Dumervil had two sacks, yet we lost.

Now I meet the 1-0 Steelers in Baltimore.

Are the sim stats screwed up? Why does Johnny have way less attempts but more yards?

Oh I'm sorry. They should be swapped. However, sim stats are pretty bad. They were outrageous with multiple 5k yard passers. Now you barely see a 4k passer and anybody with more than 25 touchdowns.

Started up Fantasy Draft with Eagles. QB-Russell Wilson, RB-Shady, WR-Traded for Calvin Johnson, Sammy Watkins, B Cooks, J Mathews, K Benjamin, TE-Traded for Jimmy Graham. Defense- DT-Suh, DE- Quinn and Cox, LB-Burfict, Kendricks, Keuchly, Clowney, CB-Haden, Carroll, Fuller, S-Haha and Earl Thomas.

Pretty stacked I know, made a few trades and the game is very challenging. Love the mix of youth and veteran. so far, 1-1 on the season and havent really got the running game to breakout yet. Loving the game so far. Best Madden I have ever played! It isnt perfect but no videogame is, great job by the devs. Having a blast so far!

That offense looks amazing. Great arm and mobility from the QB, a RB that can run and catch and probably the best WR/TE corp in the league. Nice!

Are you using sliders to correct the sim stats? If so, which ones? Thanks.

They don't. Well in mind they don't.
