In most games you can go 23/27 with your only incompletions being batted down by the d-line or an INT.

That's not true at all. 9/10 times when a ball is thrown one on one the CB will either A. bat the ball down, B. intercept the ball, or C. cream the WR as he attempts to catch the ball.

That spectacular catch is bs, why have it in the game if only a CPU can perform it. If they are worried about cheesing than just eliminate it from online. I don't really play online so it wouldn't affect me.

Larry Fitzgerald will prob be on the cover.
He was already on a NCAA cover.
Why not Madden?

You aren't completing passes because of separation, spacing, or jump balls. You aren't completing them because the WRs are finding the soft spots in the zones or running sideline routes with their feet in bounds. Any play that works in Madden is usually a result of a poor and deficient A.I system that is too stupid to comprehend the actions the offense has just taken against it.

Let's keep in mind though when a CB gets beat, well, in the NFL corners get beat too. When a LB doesn't see a ball coming, this happens all the time in the NFL. We always say the AI is stupid which I know it needs improvement but the game is trying to emulate human play, not cyber-intelligent football players who can predict and react to every play/move.

Because he's smart and doesn't want to fall to the Madden curse, thus tanking the Cardinals' season.
