I've had the opposite. Seems harder.
One thing I've noticed as I played with denver is the defense is either really bad in the son engine or denver defense is bad because my team is giving up over 30 points a game and the last game was over 40.
The last game I only got to try to stop them twice in the redzone and one their back broke multiple tackles. The next time the back want even covered even though a guy had him at the beginning of the play.
Another game I played against the Falcons. They had 15 points after their first 5 drives. Only because they matched down field everytime and I would play defense in the redzone and force a fg.
Currently I feel if your offense sucks and you have a good defense you will get screwed by the engine. Because no injuries on denver's defense is resulting in the computer moving the ball at will and putting up over 30 points a game.
