Im pretty sure Madden even had the option last gen at one point back when they had "my skill". I know NCAA had it. MLB the show does it every year. There is absolutely no excuse not to have the option of separate difficulties for offense and defense. Creating a difficulty in between may be a little harder, but still should be done. This is been a complaint about madden for as long as I can remember. Ive bought this game every year since PS1 days, and Im done. I will not buy it again until they at the very least let you have sepearate difficulty. Every year they add to the online game, which I don't play. All I want to do is play off-line franchise, and it's completely broken if I win every game on one level and lose every game on another. It's completely pointless playing it.
