I'm sure you know the CPU ratings do get a boost on AM.
Trojan, I hear you, but on AP, for me, my monster rushers, Mathews, Daniels and Peppers all get their sacks in the game post patch.
Also, the game that was streamed on AP default, JJ Watt had 3 sacks, 9 tackles and 6 tackles for losses.
I can't tell you about AM, I just have never played on that level.
Thanks BK for verifying that.
