Skipping the Madden IQ increased my love for the game exponentially!

[notque]

I don't think Madden IQ adjusts for who you are, and who you are playing against. If it does, not very well.

I happen to play with two teams. The Colts, and a created team of scrubs.

My Madden IQ jumps up as the Colts.

It jumps down as the created team.

You'd think that it could adjust for the overall of your team in the section that matters.

IQ SUCKS PERIOD!

Play the best defensive team and adjust your offense. Play the best offensive team, and adjust your defense. If you play a scrub team and happen to blow them away, welcome to the nature of the game. I think it's stupid if you play a good team, IQ drops, then you play a horrrible team, IQ goes nuts.

This IQ stuff doesn't work and it's nothing but a headache.

Sorry, I meant the passing portion of the IQ test is way too easy. So therefore, passing in the real game was tough as well. (Another good reason to use this suggestion!)

IQ reallu sucks. I would recommend to anyone using it so far to turn i off an just create a custom difficulty setting with sliders.

No it was 190. I had to retry a few times to get it up that high.

Man, I guess my 673 rating for IQ was a tad bit high then. I wondered why I was having to perfect or bust out cheesey plays to compete with the CPU, i've switched to all-madden and through 3 games its been good enough that i'm content for now.

Same here, my IQ was really high. Here's what I do that doesn't allow the IQ to work.

I try to find myself plays and run them over and over and over in practice until I come up with a % success rate. Anything in the 90's means it'll always work in All Madden. So then I play the CPU and use those plays against it and most of the time I'm 99% successful.

Example:
- Inside Cross
HR Y Slant Left
LB Left
Left Hash
(X)

Hot Route Y Slant him going left. Make sure to set Lead Block to left. Snap the ball and move to the left hash mark but don't ROLL just move like back pedal. If X is open coming across the field gun it to him and it's AUTO first down. If he's double covered, Y will be open or B. I can execute this all the time against the computer and blow them away.

- PA Roll Rt
- LB Right
- (Y)
- (A)

This play is a 100% success rate. So you see, IQ doesn't really work. This game is not made for Human vs CPU. It's for online play human vs human. Don't get me wrong, it's still very hard to run against the CPU. But you can manage to get by with trickery. PA is your best friend.
