This is why I agree with Thinking Out Loud's post. The thing that was often missing from Madden, and what it looks like they fixed this year, is momentum. Too many times you could just play the ratings, load your team up with 90+ overall players and steamroll everyone.

I've had friends throw six picks in a game, and still win by 35 points, the QB acting like he just stepped onto the field.
