CPU in the 4th Quarter

[vikingsfan1]

I don't want to sound like I crying about the game. In the 4th quarter the CPU goes All-Madden. I was playing the Redskins vs Eagle in season play I had a 24 to 10 lead with 7:56 in the 4th quarter when the CPU became unstoppable. I could not run, Coley fumbled could not stop the pass or run. CPU RB was making Barry Sander moves I could not stop.The CPU shut me down winning 31 to 24. Happens to me all the time LOL. I play Playmaker sliders.

This used to happen to me alot, but all you need to do is make it as hard as possible for the CPU to make a comeback. Usually when I'm up by more than one possession and the CPU has the ball in the 4th quarter I'll play Dime, Dollar, and Quarter formations. You don't need to be aggressive all game, when you make the QB to make good passes every down, they're going to make a mistake eventually. If you play Cover Sink, Cover 4 (zone), and other plays with plenty of zones and at least 2 safeties deep you'll make it a pretty hard time on the offense.

In the fourth quarter the cpu goes dumb on me and ill score 20+ points off of turnovers.

I've found the computer completely useless after I have a 2 score lead even before halftime. The computer doesn't adjust it's play calling at all, and all of the teams play exactly the same way with the exception of the big 5 teams (highest rated teams in the game). This makes offline much like playing a cheeser online with the exception that the computer will at least finish the game. All-pro is too easy, and all madden simply cheats even with sliders so it's a no win situation.
