Yeah you definitely need to get the turnovers under control because it takes you out of your game.. I'm still trying to settle in on a game clock.. Right now I'm at 13 minutes with 11 second runoff.. Scores were way too high when I had the clock at 14 and 15 minutes. I miss the old runoff clock on Madden 11.. But yeah if you are getting alot of yards rushing and passing just raise the CPUs rush defense and the CPUs pass rush.. Those scores should tone down some..
Where do you currently have the USER INTs at? I just dropped it to 40 yesterday and raised the USER pass reaction to 35. You might want to make that switch too if you still have the USER INTs at 45..
