Slow w/ speed diff at 20.

I don't. I'm one of the few "normal" advocates on the board, I think, though I understand people's reservations with Normal.

I did play on slow for a good long while after the game was released. A few reasons: The animations are smoother, locomotion feels more natural, and I kind of enjoyed the very intense difference that occurs when you play Madden on normal after playing NCAA on slow. It highlights the differences between NCAA and NFL football to a greater degree.

I made the switch when I realized what Normal did to the difficulty of the game. The pass rush felt more intense, I had to make quick reads and get rid of the football, the athleticism of my tailback began to mean so much more. Reaction time and processing information quickly is a big part of the game of football, and I feel like Slow gives me a bit too much room for error in this regard. Normal just feels more intense.

I play on very slow. I feel it better matches the actual speed of college games, and just plays better in general than the higher speeds. However, I also use "coach mode". If I were manually playing the games I would probably use a higher speed.
