I've been pretty disappointed with All Pro and Sim thus far. Seems like QB accuracy is almost higher than it was last year and in past years, even with sliders tweaked so that the CPU QB is at '30 accuracy.' I'm rarely seeing more than 5 incomplete passes a game across both teams, with the CPU regularly throwing 85-90%, and humans also throwing similarly.

Simulation mode, to me, really feels like Madden '17.5. I'm really liking the running game so far, with good offensive lines being really effective, while bad defensive fronts get run over both by the CPU and humans. It's nice to see the holes open up. But through the air the game feels like a step back. Defenders cannot play zone, and man has only marginally been improved, so the result is wide open players whenever a zone is played, and defensive backs that stop and stutter in man. It feels like a regression for the series and one that Im surprised EA released the game in this state, defensively.
