This is what bugs me about Madden and EA

Stop playing the cpu expecting it to be a human. Play online matches. Single player games really aren't the focus anymore.

I've played about 30 games of Madden this year, played vs. the CPU once on all-pro (1st game) and got bored after one quarter and have been playing online since.

Seriously play online or against another real person. Why play the CPU? We do have access to play a real human opponent 24/7 now online or off (friends roommates etc) so why not take advantage of it?

As for the CPU throwing alot of picks/etc well isn't it obvious? EA wants the casual player who tries vs the CPU to succeed and want to come back again. If you really must play vs. the CPU use some sliders. Yeah it would be nice if EA added an option in the future that the CPU plays like a real person but it's really not a big deal since we can all play online.

yeah, they really focus on online this year. /sarcasm
No, your missing the point. We should not have to deal with "uber ai". I don't want to play online.

but he wants you to play online. don't you get it? He wants to move all his players around pre snap, no huddle, throw bombs, run the same 4 plays over and over and over (cause that's football baybee!), figure out the new glitch blitz and then when you (who never plays on line) beats him he'll simply pull the plug so it doesn't mess up MaddenMan's rank on Madden, because we all know only noobz are ranked in the 10000's in Madden. Sheesh.

Throwing on the run or unbalanced etc. Also with the fumbles remember they are part of the game but you must keep tapping the RB button in traffic to cover the ball. Sliders imo are a waste of time since they don't work in ranked matches and 90% of Madden tourneys use default All-Pro 5 minute settings. I'm having a ton of fun with this game but I'm not trying to pass every down etc and trying to keep it real.

Too bad not everyone is into playing the Madden tourney type crap-fest.

Yeah right. They should follow the same path as the other game and release Madden with minimal single user re-playability because that's what everyone wants. Good thing you don't work for EA.

so you're telling me how I should play my game?? give me a break
I'm sorry,but I don't have the time to sit and play all these games online,because you know.....I have more important things (wife and family)to think about. I'm currently involved in an NCAA league,which is just fine with me for now.

I shouldn't have to be put into the situation of having to play an online game for it to be SOMEWHAT realistic.
