    Week 1 is usually one of the lower scoring weeks in the NFL. Tho, I will say that I don't see many 49-27 scores in Madden simulation.

      I'm talking about games play. Sim score are fine... Play Falcons vs Saints and I bet you score over 70 points combined 9 out of 10 times.

        I agree defense needs to be better but as far as stats one week can be deceiving. Tampa Bay had an obscene 13 penalties giving up 100 penalty yards today for example.

          Try 5 min qtrs. Which, like it or not, is what the game is built for.

            Do you have any facts to back up this opinion?
            People are for reviews if it backs their argument, and against them when they don't.

              I will say watching the real game makes it very clear how tough run defense is in real life when you see how often RB's get stuffed or 1-2 yard gains and then you play Madden and every run is 5+ yards.

                You can't possibly get 120-135 plays in with 5min qtrs though. Look at your scores when you achieve a realistic amount of total plays.

                  I know that's why this game is not a true sim. Umm default qtr length is 5 mins. Madden, especially this year, is built to achieve realistic stats in half the amount of plays. I decided to just screw it and play on 7 mins 15 secs run off. Hopefully a patch will fix the d but I'm guessing they like how the game plays.

                    just played my 1st reg season game in ccm

                    I lost to the dolphins 13-6 on 6 minute quarters with adjusted sliders and pent sliders

                    Richardson had 14 carries 102 yards 7.2 ypc with long of 42 yards

                    Thomas had 21 carries 53 yards avg 2.5 ypc Thomas had long run of 10 yards.

                    neither rb was racking up the yards and alot were 1,2 yard carries

                    weeden had 3 ints just like real weeden and we lost in 4th when we had chance to tie it up when weeden hit a wide open Gordon he's streaking down field and jones for dolphins strips ball and dolphins recovered the kneel ball game over.

                      EA does take notice.

                      One thing they notice is that high scoring games tend to have higher ratings suggesting tat more people are drawn to shootouts.

                        Most importantly take notice of the read option defense. Green Bay has absolutely shut it down

                        Come on EA

                          Really take notice of lack of running games.That would go a long way.

                            Madden is an arcade game, not a sim.

                              A lot of RBs didn't get going today.
