Coming from Madden 08....

[jack612blue]

Why am i getting my ahole teared by All-Pro on Madden 13?

I routinely blew out teams by 2 Td's in 08, on All-Pro.

What is the main difference?

I find that passing requires more skill than to just lob it up there.

Db's are more eager ever to intercept the ball, which i like.

So what is causing my stink? I've played 6 games already in connected careers (1-5 with Eagles).

Yes i suck

Lower the difficulty until you get used to the game or use practice mode.(not CCM practice the actual game mode)

The game is pretty easy on all-madden default sliders. On offense I run 7/10 plays and audible when I know it's going to get blown up to a short passing play. I use slants A LOT when passing. A good O-line and TE are invaluable. Occasionally I'll get lucky with a one-on-one WR to the outside and go deep.

To me the biggest difference is the importance of getting the timing of routes down.

You have to anticipate instead of react

I don't play online, and don't consider myself a great Madden player, but I been blowing the CPU away on default all pro sliders. I'd say I usually win by 30+ points.(10 min, 20 second run off)

I guess you just got to get used to it? You can create so many defender mismatches with hot routes(and sending players in motion). It's really not even fair for the CPU. Eventually you will see where to go with the ball just based off how the defense lines up. I don't know how much football knowledge you need, as much as just get used to what works in Madden,lol.

Don't worry, you will be winning big again in no time. Don't be afraid to glance down the field there are a lot of big plays available. Specially if you use the right/left/up/down directional passing to lead them away from the defenders.
