I'm more concerned now with a potential running advantage for the CPU in the slider settings (3/10). I'll keep track of this for the rest of the weeks games and see if it stays skewed in favor of CPU controlled backs.

Yeah, that does look pretty random, but I guess there's a lot of factors coming into play besides the trucking..like the tackling rating of the guys trying to stop them, etc... I do have to say though, that based on my stats in my Skins franchise and what you post here that there seems to be a definite advantage to CPU runners. You saw those numbers..nearly 125 a game on the ground against me through 8 games. And what you didn't see in my stats I posted last night was my 9th game I played after posting the stats where Moreno ran me up for 180-something yards! Washington was top 10 in run defense last year and added Haynesworth. They shouldn't be getting beat up this bad.

It just seems that the computer rarely has a bad game on the ground. Still, I'm not going to sweat it too much because the patch is going to really make those running sliders mean something. It's also going to penalize players more when they are fatigued which should tone down the running as well. I only hope that it doesn't cause the disappearing fourth quarter player problem to increase.

Do u know when the patch will be released/what they're fixing or a site where updates are listed? Thanks.

This is where you want to read http://www.operationsports.com/forum...-part-1-a.html

and I believe they WANT to get it out next week, but it might take longer than that.

Thanks, dude.

I've been getting some interesting results -and when I say interesting I mean good- by controlling all teams in franchise and playing defense for both sides. I know I did a thing before where I controlled both offenses, but that blew up after a while. I do think part of it might have been that I controlled only one team in franchise. As stupid as it might sound it seemed the CPU knew who the human team was even though I would switch sides. I think with all the teams under my control the CPU doesn't know who to give a boost to so it doesn't give it to anybody. I've only played a hand full of games so far, and I'll post some stats later when I get some more games as evidence. However, I can say that the large number of monster rushing games seems to be way down, and the QB comp. percentages have looked very good. I've also had some defensive battles like I haven't had before..13-10, 16-10, etc...

Anyway, off to watch some real football. I think I almost forgot what it looks like since I've spent so much time in front of Madden over the last few weeks.

I was considering this as well. Another poster mentioned it when we were doing both offenses. I think I'll wait til the roster update and run the first week back again like I did before.

Liking the Coors Light coach commercials, the Favre Sears, and the Polamalu Head & Shoulders too. =P Seasons finally here...

Oh yeah and I think I'll mess with the coach sliders too just for fun.

Does anyone else feel that the Threshold is too high?

Yeah, it was kind of stupid of me to do these games knowing the roster would be out today. I'll probably start over now with the new rosters. It's all good though. I'll probably also bump up the INT sliders to the 3-5 range now that supposedly the pick-6 will be less of a problem. I played about 8 games yesterday and only 1 QB threw more than 1 INT out of all of them. Usually every QB threw 1 in a game. There were a couple who didn't have any. I'm not in front of my TV now to be able to post stats..but I do remember this. I'm just afraid of getting too many, so maybe I'll start with it at 3 and see how that goes.
