I did sack Hasselback three times but all three were coverage sacks and he has such crappy ratings/traits, that I wasn't surprised. BUT, given that he's a guy I usually sack half a dozen times a game on All Madden, that was very encouraging. Going to scrutinize coverage a bit as it may be a little tight....but we will see if modifications are needed. So far, I am VERY encouraged. Don't know if these will placate the more seasoned Madden players (I'm no stick jockey - but am more than competent and understand the game), but I think that we are so far heading in the right direction. Keep the comments coming, I will play some more after work tomorrow.

Try low reaction time with high PCV. Defenders still have the ability to cover well, but are less "psychic". I was actually able to "throw people open" as the CB's who weren't looking didn't suddenly respond to my button press....

Lowering both the OPI/DPI but leaving the OPI slightly higher makes the receivers more aggressive for me as well. I have mine at 20 DPI/25 OPI, but people have been getting good results with the numbers in the teens. That coupled with the Reaction time/PCV tweak in your sliders and the WR's are actually attacking the ball down the field. OPI/DPI lowered actually make the WR/DB interactions livable IMO.
