I can't even mess with any other difficulty settings. All-Madden is the only way I know that gives any semblance of a competitive game. The last time I played on All-Pro was in 2001. I did a season with the Cheifs and went 15-1. The only game I lost was the last one which I simulated. As for problems with All-Madden, no pass defense whatsoever. The sacks, the pancakes, the CPU running game can all be fixed to a certain extent. Pass defense can too(slightly). The problem with the sliders is (and I'm sure someone else has noticed this) that when you're playing with a franchise your game stats will be fine but if you look at other teams stats, they seem to be real low. Peyton Manning had 19 TDs and 9 INTs for 3197yds. one year and he was the league leader as far as passing yards were concerned. I know most of this sh*t may seem trivial to some but its things like this that bug me about this game. I love Madden, been playing since 98', but EA needs to pick it up a little bit because I will not under any circumstances play the 2k series again(too arcadey). And sadly, with no competition for now it would be very easy for them to repackage the same game over and over for the next five years
