A tale of two very different games

My two most recent games in my Fins franchise were extremely different, which I think is a good sign for the game.

Playing at New Orleans, I won the game 48-35 in an extreme shootout. I did whatever I felt like on offense, and couldnt do much to stop Drew Brees on the other side either. He threw for nearly 400 yards and five TDs, with no ints.

In the very next game, with the same sliders (slightly favoring the CPU, All Pro), I beat the Ravens 16-13. I was winning 9-6 after three quarters. The Ravens almost completely shut me down on offense, and I really only won the game because Flaco threw four interceptions.

For me, its a big difference, because in the last few years of the game, the CPU offense and defense seemed to play the same no matter what the opponent was. This was my second game in five that the CPU gave me a really hard time, and that I only won because they kept turning the ball over.

see that is my issue with the gameplay right now though, is the turnovers. Seems like no matter who the QB is they are destined to throw a multi pick game

I've had plenty of games where neither QB threw a pick. Or only one was thrown between the two.

In my five franchise games, Luck threw really well and ran the ball a lot too. Indys defense was horrible. Matt Ryan threw really well, no pics. I won a fairly low scoring game, something like 21-17. Brees tore me apart.

Weeden and Flaco were just awful.

That's the way it should be.Every game should feel different.
