I wish there was a way we could...

Have CPU teams play like their real-life NFL counterparts.

In a play now game vs. the Bears today (I used the Eagles), the stupid Bears passed 22 times and ran the ball 12 times in the first 34 plays, despite the fact they had a lead.
This kind of thing constantly happens in Madden - stodgy old run teams like the Bears and Chiefs suddenly thinking they're the 99 Rams (other than the fact the CPU rarely, if ever, actually throws a pass longer than 15 yards).

I would die for some team sliders, where we could set up every team to play the way they're supposed to.

How can I have fun re-living the NFL experience if the teams I'm playing aren't playing like their real-life counterparts?

I believe this is a common and know issue right?

I'd be happy with a game that I'm not tired of playing by the time I tweak it to play the way it should have when I opened it.

I'm really hoping for an implementation of team specific play calling AI for 2010!!!

Do they not have coach sliders in this game like theyve had in past years?

There should be some kind of coach tendency sliders in franchise, but it'd be nice if they had a huge set of options for how the team played, that could be set in a main menu, ala NBA 2k8.

Played a game last night was the Vikes against the Bears week 12 in franchise. Bears score a TD with like 30 seconds left in the game and the score is 31-27 me. Instead of doing an onside kick, which the possesion before they recovered one, they kick it deep, I was like WTF are they doing. I did one kneel down and that was the game. I can't understand why the CPU calls plays the way they do.
