I will add to this. I just finished playing against the Vikings in week 1. The Vikings are supposed to be a running team obviously, but here's how it broke down.

Peterson 36 carries
Gerhart 2 carries

Ponder: 11 pass attempts

They ran the ball literally every single first down outside of the two minute warning.

Yes. Played about 25-30 games to finally hone in a set I liked and that gave dead on realistic results.

Teams that pass or use multiple backs or situational substitutions should be taken care of. If Pierre Thomas gets X amount of carries and Mark Ingram gets Y amount of carries and Darren Sproles gets Z amount of carries, implement it. Plain and simple. Break it down by percentages and dole out the carries accordingly. They should be able with all of the available data to go through every team (again there's only 32) and fine tooth comb every nuance of each and do their damnedest to try and implement their tendencies.


For the life of me how is it that they can't seem to make a game where the right defensive end or ROLB gets pressure? It must be the hardest thing to do or they've just chosen to ignore it and figure people are good with breaking sack records with 3-4 left defensive ends with 3 career sacks. Last years demo actually got pressure from the right DE. I remember Peppers being a beast. But, when retail dropped that side of the field was as dry as the desert.

And to the topic of run plays getting called at an alarming rate for passing teams......... When Stevan Ridley is the focus of the Patriots offense something is terribly wrong.
This is too much Work, How dare you ask for such attention to detail. Sarcasm/

I was the Dolphins playing the Texans and I just about shat myself when Houston called a pass play on 1st down. They didn't do that until the 3rd quarter though. And it only happened once.

Lions 3 (CPU) vs. Vikings 0 (I was home team)

Stafford 8-17
Best 9 total rushes

6 minutes were still left in the half

Well Im about to take back everything I said in this initial post with happiness!!


P.S. I guess CCM offline is broke because it looks like my All-Madden sliders defaulted back to All-Pro. Checked the settings and it said All-Madden and generic was All-Madden but I was shutting down the Detroit offense like I was playing on All-Pro
