Trust me, this year's madden seems much more tough and I also have a new take on sliders, I gave the cpu a little boost to compensate for the fact that it is an AI system and cannot match the human brain / reactions. Previous years I would try to match Cpu and User slider for slider.. Example I would have run blocking 40/40 or 50/50 or whatever, this year I have it currently 25/75, to help the cpu be a little more competitive and match the human brain if possible.. Adjust anything or everything to please your needs.
