I use game flow as well, but I cycle through until I find a play that best suites the situation. Madden calls some bogus plays if you use game flow automatically. This in conjunction with the adjustments I make pre-snap work wonders quite well for me.
I played the Texans last night and didn't post the stats. I won 33-30, and was -2 in turnovers. Thanks to a key interception with 3:45 I was able to run out the clock and kick a GW FG as time expired.
Schaub SHREDDED me. 32/53 for 519 and 3 TD's. Foster had 18 carries for 59 yards. Daniels, Johnson and Jones just destroyed me. Each having over 140 yards receiving.
Henne was good (relatively speaking) at 65% and 258 yards. No touchdowns and 3 picks though...I have learned that he's not a good option throwing deep. Not accurate and his best throws are under 10 yards. Over 10 and he's asking for trouble.
Thomas went 27-158, and Marshall has 11 catches for 133 yards.
@ dajanksta - good to see you came right there in the end.
@ pdiehm - Least your playmakers are getting the yardage. I wouldn't trust Henne past 15 yards, thats a big gamble for sure, especially with the lower rated QB's. I was also curious, do you prefer Thomas because you like to pound it out with the RB? Cause Bush is solid when he is in space.
I think you need to get your DBs in order there bud haha, as thats some massive yardage although nice one with holding Foster to that little yardage cause he is pretty dam good runner, what was your pass rush like? cause maybe more of a pass rush would have forced the CPU to look more for the underneath routes.

I think the gameflow is killing my defense I probably need to play more zone (cover 3).
My pass rush is pretty non-existant. I'm not sure how many sacks I have, but it's not much.

I thought about giving the Dolphins a go after a nice showing against the Bills. Depth charts are accurate up to the present date as you can see above.
Some game notes:
I was able to abuse rookie A.Williams with Marshall, catching short routes as he was able to separate easily. I tried to go deep a few times, only to find Byrd nab the ball out of B.M hands on a deep ball.
Bush had a big run of 66, which I bounced to the outside and just narrowly missed 2 defenders who attempted dive tackles along the sidelines.
I had the first interception as Fitz looked deep to S.Johnson often, V.Davis got burned twice on 2 deep balls (1 a jump ball, the other a nice sideline catch in stride). Johnson was the only WR he even really looked at.
Spiller had some good runs early, although I was able to shut him down after I realized Fitz was going to have a poor showing with a weak WR core. T.Choice went in untouched up the middle for a TD in a spread formation (Bad play call on my part)
The 2 picks I gave away were both forced throws by me, I should have taken a sack on the INT return TD, as I was scrambling outside the pocket and tried to force it to Marshall, but McKelvin (nickel corner) jumped the route.
I had 4th and inches 4 times in the game, deciding to go for it twice, converting both times.
They almost had an amazing comeback, but on the final drive I was able to finish it off, Bush converting twice on 3rd down with catches and I was able to Kneel it down and run the clock out.
Just wondering did you ever try and use your sliders from last year on Madden 12? The only reason I was asking was because I really liked you sliders from last year.

I did plug them in and work a set similar to last year on the basis where the CPU slider was maxed out to all near 100. I can't find the thread on here anymore.
This set will play similar as I had the same goal in mind and worked it into similarities with the set I did last year.
These were my sliders based off the set I did last year. It's supposedly not all-madden but by goodness it will still be tough, let me know if it works out-have not worked on them in a while. This thread is worked on the all-madden theory of 295 for user.
i just wanna say i nearly threw my controller at my ps3 today.. never count tebow out lmao that mofo threw a 60 yard bomb on me my safety blocks it and then eddie royal comes under and catches the deflected pass with the last second ticking off the clock.. 38-35 loss for me very great sliders.. one thing i need to learn how to do is contain a running qb.. i crushed their running game,but tebow just shredded me all day.. and spying didn't help everytime i spy him he would light me up through the air lmao..
