Saw DB's and LB's getting a speed boost out of nowhere to deflect my passes. 2) CPU had 9 pancakes to my 1. (again this is common on All-Madden) 3) Was nice to see penalties :-) 4) My d-line had a hard time shedding blocks on passing plays. They did ok on run plays, but Big Ben had all day to throw. I sacked him once i believe. When i did bring heat he torched me. I'm going to give the All-Madden set a few more games before I switch back to All-Pro. It's just the "cheating" CPU can drive me crazy. EDIT: For clarity, I like the fact that the Steelers creamed me (as they should), I would just rather them beat me because their players are better and not because it felt like the game engine "cheating" so that they could win. Does that make sense?

When you see defenders making those lightning quick plays, I really just thinks it's Maddens way of displaying a mediocre to below avg qb throw. I also say this b/c when I have a good qb and it's a WR that has better abilities than the defender, I can actually get the WR to win the lightning quick reaction contest.
I would suggest trying more than 1 team and qb. I can throw for 400+ with the Falcons vs Saints(cpu) 4tds 2ints and then I use the Seahawks vs Panthers(cpu) I struggle to get over 250yds and throw 1 td 3ints.

Another thing to consider is AM difficulty is made for guys that switch and user plays more so. If your playing AM "no switch", it's always going to give the cpu the edge. As for the cpu pancakes, you could always lower the cpu rbk and maybe even the cpu pbk seeing how your not getting pressure.
I actually user the D-Lineman and I can usually scheme up a good pass rush once I catch on to what the cpu is trying to do. For ex. Cam would buy time with his feet and look to throw 10-20yds downfield, so I had to scheme to slow that down. But when I played the Saints, Brees would hit anyone who was open, short, med, deep and made it a harder challenge to get pressure and sacks. Vs Cam my team got 5 sacks Vs Brees we got 2. So it's more about knowing who and what style of team your facing and gameplanning to stop what they want to do.

Sorry for the long post but AM is really bringing gameplay out of the cpu that you just don't see on AP imo
