I get a realistic amount of INTs and fumbles and everything. Just won my last game 24-23 on a TD run with 10 seconds left. It was so intense.

I use these sliders with my 71 overall expansion team. Losing isn't a problem here.

For the people that have never tried to lose, what setting or sliders do you use? I've been looking for a difficult/realistic slider set and every game it seems(in offline franchise) I have to try and lose. I dont like playing that way, but I also dont like going 14-2 with the Browns.

I'm using my own that I'm trying to develop to my own ability and tastes.

Since using them, I'm 4-1, but every game has been decided by 7pts or less and down to the final drive each time.

A couple times, I was able to drive down for the winning score (one by the DB trying for the pick, missed, and let Mason get the catch and a nice run into FG range).

Once, I was driving, McGahee got stripped and we lost the fumble - and then the game as Denver ran the out the clock.

Re: Do You Have To Try To Lose?

I am playing as the Browns and struggling hard this year I am 5-7 my key lose was against the Buffallo Bills 31-3 via 5 INT's, 1 fumble, and 7 sacks allowed.

I quit my first dynasty because I started out 7-1 with the Broncos and thought the results were unrealistic :(

Re: Do You Have To Try To Lose?

I have yet to lose on default all pro but ill never play all madden again. Too much superman defense. But I do get very very close games that seem to upset me more and more. The CPU just goes nut on defense from time to time but I always seem to get the W.

Losing to the computer for me is probably the most annoying thing ever! AI defeating Man? Never!!!!! jk hopefully.....

you and about every other person lol. I would have been stoked for 6 wins in a season, much more in 6 games played lol

Re: Do You Have To Try To Lose?

The past few weeks I started up a few online franchises with a handful of friends on all pro. I went 34 games against the CPU across three separate fantasy franchises before I lost my first game. I lost my starting QB(Ryan) and RB(Barber) in the first quarter for the game and I was already missing my back up RB(Felix Jones) and that left me with Josh Johnson at QB and Samkon Gado(sp) for my offense and the final was 24 to 34 because I was kinda mad and just simmed the rest of the game at the half.(They went 15-1 at the end of the year so I guess it wasnt so bad in hindsight)

In each franchise(and my offline franchises) I normally score 35+ with each team and would sub in my back ups to let them play and would end the game scoring a few more touch downs. I quit my online franchises because of no sliders(all madden is stupid) and I am currently trying to find a slider set that will provide a realistic game that makes players play best to their ratings.

To the OP, I dont try on purpose to lose and it takes an extreme loss of talent to make me struggle/lose a game against the CPU on all pro default.
