I agree, at least in the demo (I don't know how different it is in retail), there is literally no passing defense at all.
Randy Moss and Michael Crabtree were blowing up the CPU's press coverage, and I looked at the ratings to see the Giants CB press ratings were in the 80's and 90's, while the 49ers' receivers were only 70's and low 80's beat press. But everytime like clockwork, my receivers were blowing by the CPU's press coverage, creating huge gaps in coverage and getting big gains every time.
Meanwhile on the flip side, I don't know if it's even possible for my DB's to even come close to covering the CPU receivers. Everytime, no matter what type of coverage, the CPU receivers have 5+ yards of space between them and the nearest defender. It's ridiculous.
Well I'm glad they toned down All-Madden, because the past 3 seasons (Madden '10 - '12) All-Madden has been nothing but a CPU cheat fest. Glad that's toned down, but yea, it showcases what the real problem with Madden is, that the CPU relies on that "cheat" logic to present a challenge. Without that cheat logic, the CPU can't present any sort of challenge.
