Luckily it ended up evening out. - First 2 plays of the game I got called for holding. I cringed, but this also evened out. - I found it difficult to tackle, it usually took 2-3 or more guys to get the RB down. - The opposing RB easily broke tackles. This didn't hurt when they ran it outside, but if they ran up the middle it was an automatic gain of at least 6 yards. - QB accuracy seemed fine to me. - INTs were also not an issue. I did have a wide open shot at one which was unfortunately dropped. - I was having trouble running the ball myself. If it wasn't for a 60+ yard TD run by Newton it may have been an embarrassing effort on the ground. The game was exciting throughout and was definitely a challenge. I would have won for sure, except Deangelo Williams FUMBLED ON MY OWN 20 yard line with just over 2 minutes remaining. All I had to do was run the clock out. One first down would have sealed the deal. I didn't use the 'RB' button and the D picked it up for a TD to take the 23-20 lead. Oh well I guess. I will keep playing to see how these continue to play out.

That all sounds awesome to me. Check and see what the CPU's RB's break tackle rating was. If it is reasonably high then it should be hard to bring him down. Also the RB button is important with these. I wanted it to be like real life. I am glad it was a challenge. Thanks for the feedback
