I found the same thing in almost all of my seasons. The only exception is the current season I'm in now. I have DJ Williams leading my team and 5th in the league in tackles. But I wonder if it is a freak occurrence.

I thought they fixed that in patch 2--are they still not working?

I'll check L. Delmas when I play this afternoon--what team is he on?

Ummmm.... He's on the Lions. He's a rookie safety for them he starts for them in real life. Guess you overlooked him or something. Louis Delmas is his full name, I think. I had just put L because I wasn't sure what his first name was.

And about the tackles, i was talking about tackle assists and solo tackles not being combined. In the game, they onlyb count solo tackles as tackles, but in the NFL, you combine solo tackles and assists to get the total number of tackles. Guess I didn't explain it good enough. BTW, they did fix the simmed tackle stats in patch 2, that wasn't what i was talking about before, I was talking about the solo tackles and tackle assists not being combined.

I like to sim the CPU defense. Has anyone tried that with these sliders? Would it hurt anything to do that, compared to just playing D?

Sorry--good grief, he's probably my second best player (I thought you were naming someone on the Panthers, and when I didn't find him there, I just blanked out). He had 41 tackles last season, and since nobody in front of him could tackle, I assume the stats are still wrong.

I did win my first game of the second season. I was playing the Bills (both of us rated 82) in Detroit. Trent Edwards got knocked out early in the second quarter. I was behind 13-3 and the Bills were on my 5 when Ryan Fitzpatrick (their backup QB) threw a pick and my CB ran it back 102 yards for a touchdown. I went ahead 17-13 in the middle of the fourth, they drove down to make it 20-17, I was on their 40 with 2:00 left, threw a pick, but got the ball back after using all my timeouts and stopping them by inches on third town. Threw a wide receiver screen to Calvin Johnson and he broke a tackle (which was great) and ran 45 yards to put us ahead with :40 left. The Bills got down to my 30, but they threw to the 10 on the last play and got tackled at the 7.

Fun, fun game. :-)

Hey Bill not played my console for a while and obviously the second patch has been released. Any news on the coach mode sliders?

What I've noticed about Madden (and these sliders) is that I can win or lose anytime. I beat the Patriots with a last 'heave-ho' to the endzone...I crushed the Colts (in the snow, which helped)...then I lost to the 0-9 Raiders 44-6. In any case, I'm 9-5 and my team is rated 87 overall in my second season. I'm not dominating much and have many games that are very close. Keep us posted on your second seasons progress...

I like these sliders but that stupid QB getting the ball away EVERYTIME my OLB get to him. In the 3-4 I cant stop the pass because no matter how many times I get to the QB he gets the ball away no matter what.
