You have the name Grimy Tacticz and say its personal preference, but the reason people prefer normal according to the many madden lab type communities, is because they find exploits and weaknesses in AI not in football schemes. The slow speed brings more of a level playing field to the masses, the MILLIONS of people that buy the game. There are still a LOT of ways to exploit the computer and the AI at slow speed, it's just not as easy as it was on normal. Thank god EA Sports decided to make ranked games for football fans and not tourney guys. If they didn't I'd never play ranked online at all. I can't understand why they don't just let the elite games be normal or choice.
