"Custom" Difficulty
 

In past Madden titles, changing sliders would result in a "custom" difficulty setting. This year custom difficulty is gone, and it seems to be affecting the sliders in a negative way.

Has anyone else noticed that the game still feels scripted to whichever difficulty you're playing on? What I mean is, the same sliders used on Rookie difficulty are performing drastically different than they do on All-Madden difficulty.

Are there hidden values associated with each difficulty setting?
