......On a side note, I started watching hard knocks and I have to say I really like John Connor. How is he in the game?
Have to confess I've hardly used him at all yet. I really missed created packages still, e.g. being able to put FB2 in a will, or a specialist pass rusher package. I assume this was originally taken out, to stop online cheese packages, in which case it's another thing online pampering has to answer for.
I've made some slight tweaks to the sliders, which I'll post later on when I'm with the Xbox.

I've been playing Jets-Falcons all Night. I honestly don't know if it's possible to make decent sliders for this years version, as the "EA's Game Randomizer" is just so damn violent this year. What do I mean by that? I mean that with the same sliders, same conditions, in one crazy game,
Bah.. I don't know what else to add....I'll keep trying....
I hear ya there. You have your work cut out, thats for sure.
Seems like the cpu is having more bad games against me than not, so I might jack their sliders up on offense. And just accept a low rated team may light me up once in a while. Any given Sunday. I admit I have been slightly altering the sliders each game.
Having a blast but I like to keep it real. One thing I did do was raise up cpu btk to 40 and run block to 75 and hum run reaction time to 10. it actually seems to work very well. They do not average over 5 yds a carry on me. I am fine with it because they run the ball more. Seems extreme but has been far from it. As a matter of fact have yet to give up 100 yds to them on the ground, because they dont run it 20+ times.
Hey DB, loved your sliders from before and will try these out this year. I like to play with a no-switch defense using the safety, so I'll give them a run.
As you can see they ran pretty well on me. Rice was breaking some tackles, but I'm OK with that because he's a power back and the Rams defense isn't top notch. I had a hard time running the ball but I think most of that comes from my trying to run plays I know don't work well in Madden. My passing game was good in the first half because I focussed on the run but when they started to catch up in the second half it forced me to make some bad throws and ended up with a lot of three and outs.
It was a fun game with how well they came back in the second half, but I feel like I still had a bit to easy of a time against what is supposed to be a pretty high powered offense this year. Their defense seemed spot on though with stopping the run but being weaker against the pass.
On a side note, Sam Bradford has an AMAZING throwing motion. It's lightening fast.
