I've been playing play now games. I guess I'll jump into CFM and pick a couple teams and see what type of stats I come up with.
The main complaint I have is lack of pass rush and fumbles and wasn't really able to fix those with sliders.
Another thing I noticed is that if you switch your main menu settings between All-Pro and All-Madden, go back and forth between the two as you test, the game becomes discombobulated for some reason.
So I deleted everything last night and I'll put in your penalty sliders and jump right into CFM, because if I understand this correctly, play now is screwed. You either lower the penalties to get the animations and don't see penalties or you get penalties and lose the animations.
