Just played another game with these and I really am loving the gameplay this year. With these sliders, I have been playing some of the best Madden I've seen in years.
Since I'm not going to do much of a serious CFM until the patch drops, I decided to start one with the Jags, simming through the first year, and moving them to London in the second. I picked up Ray Rice and Aldon Smith in year one, and then snagged Josh Gordon after he failed to get signed during free agency. Crazy!
While the game looks one sided, I think the turning point was E. Denney going out with an injury in the second courter. Matt Flynn couldn't hit the broadside of a barn in this game. Both defenses dominated most of the game. Ray Rice was held to minimal yardage until the fourth quarter when I took the lead and began to chew the clock. Bortles' completion percentage is bloated, due to the fact that I didn't take a lot of chances going downfield with him.
My interception came on a desperation throw towards the end of the game. I also forced a fumble early in the game, but didn't recover. The Texans got to Bortles 2 times, while I got to their two QBs a total of 4.5 times (not sure where that other half a sack went).
Please let me know if you have any suggestions for any adjustments I should make.
