DB'S Stat Accurate Sliders (Slow game Speed)

[tcrews]

Just had an absurdly close game. I won 28-27. I was down 17-0 with about 8 minutes to go in the half. Came back and scored my second touchdown with 2 seconds left on the clock before halftime to make it 17-14. I got my first lead of the game at 21-17 and 30 seconds later watched DeAngelo Williams erase it on an amazing 69 yard TD run. No sooner did that happen then I fumbled and they kicked a field goal. 21-27 Panthers. I drove down the field and with 3 minutes left, Steve Slaton (Texans) fumbles. I'm thinking the game is over. they had the ball with great field position (Texan 41) and less than 3 minutes to go.

I forced a 3rd and long and they easily converted it, a swing pass out of the back to the fullback who was completely uncovered. Bernard Pollard hits him and forces a fumble, gets up, and returns it to the 50. After that I drive down the field and score a touchdown making it 28-27 with 52 seconds left. They picked up 2 first downs but their desperation pass with 5 seconds left was picked off.

Unbelievable game. Here are the stats.

My first few games of my franchise were somewhat close, but my last game against the Rams was embrassing. I play as the Saints and ended up winning 76-10. I had 44 at half and probably could have hit 100 if I really really wanted. I feel this is a problem that I've had with Madden 10 for a while.

I'll try some new sliders, get accustomed to them, and end up beating the CPU pretty easily. I would love to have a sub par season and take the draft seriously, but really don't make it pass the 2nd or 3rd year.

Not some desperate CPU comeback forcing you to fumble. I've yet to have any games where I even felt close to 'screwed' over by the 'cheating' cpu. But sometimes you can tell it's either going to be a touchdown or you're going to Eff up. Ultimately. I don't think I can fix that. Haha. Please continue posting your stats so I can see if I need to make adjustments. Keep in mind these are more for difficulty than realism. it's probably a 60/40 split.

Sorry tcrews!! I picked up NHL 10 and The Show so Madden has been put on the shelf the last few weeks. I'm going to try a game out later with your slider set to see how they play. So far your results look promising!! I'll let you know how it goes.
