Sliders, and quarter length are big factors. Look for some sliders and settings that other people are using. They're posted all over these forums. In fact, I think there's actually a forum made just for that. :waytogo:

Yeah wouldn't sliders only effect games I actually play. I want the games that are cpu vs. cpu in franchise to be more real.That way when i am done with my team at the end of the season the rest of 31 teams stats are more realisitic.

I don't know exactly what the stats in your franchise were, but whenever someone got to 2,000 yards in mine, it was someone who could possibly do it. Clinton Portis and LaDanian Tomlinson have done it in mine, which doesn't seem completely unrealistic to me. Portis rushed about 500 times, Washington works him. LT is perhaps the best RB in football, it didin't bother me. But when Michael Vick averages more than 20 yards a carry on his way to a league-leading 2,179 yards in the second year of my Giant Franchise, well...

I think gameplay sliders effect only games you play.

The're may be team management sliders that will effect that, like the ones in NCAA.

Re: Is There Anyway To Fix This
 

although not 100% realistic stats, i seem to get better season simmed stats than other people, for 2 reasons.

#1 in my franchises, I controll all 32 teams, and I setup all the teams how they play in real life. I.E. if a team runs a HB by commitee, i make it so they do so on on the game by setting the HB sub to 50%. if a team is pass heavy, i set their % of passing plays higher than others.

#2 the player ratings in the game aren't accurate, I do my own player ratings. with the recent emphasis on downfield contact putting the DBs at a disadvantage, I lowered alot of the top CB's overall ratings to give a bigger slant to the offense and make it so the QBs put up bigger numbers. the best CB on my game is Nate Clements with a 95 overall rating.

On the forums at Maddenmania, there is some talk of the sim game feature being "broken", so to speak. Apparently, they have found that regardless of inputs by the user, the CPU will not substitute players, unless an injury forces a substitution.

I can't confirm this myself, I'm not far enough along in my franchise at this point. You all might want to go over there and ask questions about it if you all are interested; the issue, if it in fact exists, doesn't bother me.
