I'm seeing alot of big special teams plays in real life...

Anyone seeing the AI getting any electrifying returns in Madden?

Anyone getting a good human return game going without making the sliders too easy for every other phase of the game?

Punt returns need work.

KO returns not too big on because most KO returns are coming out to the 20 with the new rule. You won't see Cobb returning any from 8 yds deep anymore, he said he made a mistake.

I bet he would return it from 5 yards deep if he was able to take his momentum upfield. There were tons of returns in week one and the worst field position I saw was around the 15 yard line.

What's the difference between this year and last year? 5 yd deep kicks into the end zone weren't being returned last year, overall.

Lambeau, 10 KO's and only 2 were returned on opening night. 8 KO returns downed. Lambeau had 2 downed KO's the whole season last year.

Might as well just skip the KO and put the ball on the 20. The only reason why they changed the rule is to cut down on concussions.

How many Kick off and punt returns did we see for touchdowns in the first week this year vs. last year?

There were at least 4 Kick-offs returned for TD's this year that I saw.

It might be abnormal too. Small sample size to measure with just the first week.

It is noteworthy, though.

the fact that there is still no double teaming on gunners is sickening to me.

Exactly. We don't need a Madden adjustment here. Next thing you know you have 2 or 3 a game :P
