I can sympathize with the AI QB crowd of folks who like playing in solo CFMs. I have no experience with this so I'll take them at their word.

I can say my experience, for all of M18's warts, ultimately mirrors CM Hoe. M18 is the best playing H2H experience I've seen in the series to date. It's got issues, but overall the gameplay is a step forward from prior versions in User v User games. 100% of my Madden experience is in a realism-focused 32-man CFM with pretty competitive users at this point. Requires some slider fu to get there, and all the typical frustrations about attributes & what do they do, insufficiency of slider impact, etc are all still there.

Still, Madden 18 is the overall best & most balanced gameplay we've seen yet in the series.
