I try all pro, and you can just tweak them to be harder and yes, accept the fact that madden has been crap for years because EA has exclusive liscense, and now with no NCAA its the ONLY football game you can play, and its only on console. That is what monopoly is folks.
I have found All madden pass defense just unrealistically hard, even on 0 and 0 the Linebackers will jump like shaq oneil and bat down passes that would have been right on the money, Im gonna work on it today a little, but all pro is what we all have to do this year i think, unless maybe you want to be some 99 QB on a great team,and try to get a 8-8 season on all madden or something.
But for me, liking the bucs titans and cardinals, im gonna have to play on a hard tuned version of all pro.
penalties need to be turned WAAAY up like to 98 99 to get them to be called at all, which is BS Ea why you didnt fire the dev after last years freeze glitch i will never know, the game this year looks better but feels worse than last year i think, they are slow bulky and whats with the tackle animations? They no longer realistically fight but 99% of the time they just get tackled and fall forward or fall down, get up, then trip and fall down again............. ridicolous
