I don't know about Madden.

Beyond that, there are a few approaches you can take: Only manually play games every other season Only play divisional games Only play team with winning records Like you, I hate playing the CPU. For me, the fix is online leagues as previously mentioned. I have not played a complete offline game vs the CPU in years. But I do enjoy the off season stuff online. Maybe playing a reduced number of games each season so that you get to the off season quicker will help keep interest up.

I like your ideas. We'll see.

Abyways, my current idea is to try to get a rental copy from Gamefly. If I send my currebt game back at the right time, I stand a better chance of getting a copy.

If I succeed, I'll try a few different ways to play Connected Carrers (such as having Coach mode on, playing as a player, etc.) and see if something clicks with me.

If nothing does, I can also go back to Madden 10, or even NFL 2K5, as others suggested.
