Played a few more games after I had posted that, I now have decided to leave everything as you had it. I guess I was testing these against bad rushing teams cause after trying against Denver and Arizona they were both able to get a pretty decent amount of yards on the ground, and all in realistic amounts too, none of that crazy 60 yard runs I have been used to over the last couple of years in Madden. And my rushing problem was once again my own fault, hitting sprint too quickly, not following my blockers properly, etc. It's been a while since I played any Madden and i'm getting back into the swing of things. So yeah, i'm sticking with how you posted them.
Only problem i'm having is the INT problem. Of course some games are good, but the last game I played was Raiders (me) vs Cardinals (cpu), at half time I had picked it off 5 times and they got me twice. One of my INTs that I threw was my own fault, but the other the DB just magically flew to the ball. 3rd quarter I picked off Leinart 2 more times. I then just shutoff the console.
Fumbles seem to be everyone else's complaint too. Myself, I don't have a problem fumbling as long as I cover up the ball when need be and don't try too many special moves while in traffic, which is how it should be. The CPU fumbling is questionable. I'll play the CPU one game and it might fumble 5 times. The next game it may never give it up at all. And this is by playing the same team at least 2 or 3 times in a row before playing another. That's how I like to test sliders, play the same team 2 or 3 times and then play another team 2 or 3 times.
Something weird I noticed. We have Knockdowns at 1, I can leave the Defense screen of the sliders or leave the sliders section completely and if I go back to the Human Defense sliders it is still set to 1, but the white bar is completely filled. Only does it on Human Knockdown, all other sliders on Human and CPU still look correct. It does this with it set at 1, 2, or 3. 0 or at 4 or higher the bar is not filled up when I come back. So my question is, do you think this may be affecting anything? Should I set it to 0 or maybe to 4 to keep it from doing this? Or should I just leave it alone.
