For the second week in a row, I held my opposition out of the red zone. Brady went down a few times, and Hoyer easily picked up the slack (throwing a touchdown on his first passing attempt of his career). Maroney also went down for a while, but Taylor picked up the slack there

After playing my first two games, I feel like it is too hard for the computer to move the ball on offense. I have dominated the TOP in both games and been able to run and pass with ease. I am not that good at madden (530 IQ) but it seems like the opposition can't move the ball at all. Granted I have only played the Bills and Jets so this may not be a great competition to gauge the sliders on. Next up is Atlanta, but three of their five QB's are injured and madden seems to think their Punter is better than their two healthy QBs, so I wont bother posting the stats.

For the Jets game, I used your road slider adjustments, and it didn't seem to make a big difference. I was hoping the Jets D would shut me down a little bit more, but Maroney still managed to average about 4 yds per carry.

Just finished another game up. I think the problem is that my defense is too good. One of the main problems the Patriots have as a team is getting a decent pass rush, but I can get pressure on the QB on almost every down. This pressure is leading to incompletions and interceptions all the time. It is also allowing me to dominate the TOP because the computer can't get the ball and I end up scoring on almost all of my possessions.

Baltimore (CPU) @ New England (ME)

I was disappointed with how good my defense played this game. I was held to just two field goals the first quarter, but couldn't be stopped after that. I scored a TD, making the score 13-7, then forced a fumble on the kickoff and returned it for a TD making the score 20-7 and never looking back. Hopefully I can get some tweaks for making my defense worse. The CPU offense seems to be alright if I weren't getting pressure on the QB every down. I usually play as Ty Warren or Vince Wilfork so that is the reason that Warren has all of the sacks, but my line is able to get pressure on a consistent basis.

Also: I created a new profile for these sliders and have only played these three games. My Madden IQ went up to 552 after this game.
