A lot of low scores in week 1. Take some notice, EA.

I know that's why this game is not a true sim. Umm default qtr length is 5 mins. Madden, especially this year, is built to achieve realistic stats in half the amount of plays. I decided to just screw it and play on 7 mins 15 secs run off. Hopefully a patch will fix the d but I'm guessing they like how the game plays.

just played my 1st reg season game in ccm

I lost to the dolphins 13-6 on 6 minute quarters with adjusted sliders and pent sliders

Richardson had 14 carries 102 yards 7.2 ypc with long of 42 yards

Thomas had 21 carries 53 yards avg 2.5 ypc Thomas had long run of 10 yards.

neither rb was racking up the yards and alot were 1,2 yard carries

weeden had 3 ints just like real weeden and we lost in 4th when we had chance to tie it up when weeden hit a wide open Gordon he's streaking down field and jones for dolphins strips ball and dolphins recovered the kneel ball game over.

EA does take notice.

One thing they notice is that high scoring games tend to have higher ratings suggesting tat more people are drawn to shootouts.

Most importantly take notice of the read option defense. Green Bay has absolutely shut it down

Come on EA

Really take notice of lack of running games.That would go a long way.

Madden is an arcade game, not a sim.

A lot of RBs didn't get going today.

Seattle, one of the best in running, was completely shut down today. 60 yards total. Lynch had 43 yards on 17 carries! "Beast Mode" is not always on.

I'm using some modified all-madden sliders, trying to get as close to sim as possible, but I'm still having problems lowering my run game. It's pretty easy to hit 150 rushing yards every game. I might just have to start letting the AI control the ball carrier...
