This is more of a general complaint, but also an ask for help. I've been playing Madden for years and NCAA for years (still). There seems to be no balance for a simulation game; I still feel like I'm playing NFL Blitz. I can score at will even on All-Madden with the sliders adjusted but I can't stop anything on defense. Every game is 49-45 or somewhere in there. While I'd love betting the overs, this is incredibly frustrating. I don't mind losing, at all, but why is it so impossible to find a challenging and simulation style game. I was really excited when I read Madden 18 would come out with a "Simulation" style play, but it doesn't seem to have resulted in that, at least for me.
Has anyone else come across this? I'd love if we had one of the following options:
- Like NCAA, have an offensive and defensive difficulty
- Release some kind of slider guide (i.e. this setting environment as you have it will result in more xxx)
- Simply reduce the scoring in the game!
I realize the NFL has high scoring games, but they also have 14-10 games at least once in a while. That seems to never happen in user games. Maybe I'm off base and my play style just results in that, but even when I try to play everything "safe" on offense (draws on 3rd and long, punt even when I don't think I should, safe throws) I still score a ton. And I just don't have a prayer at stopping the CPU from scoring.
Any suggestions or quick hitter tips?
