EA needs to find a balance between the defense and the offense. The O is too powerful and the (CPU) defense can't even produce a 3 and out for the user once in awhile. Here's an idea:

Bring in a momentum engine.

Where if the opposing D creates a big stop or stops the Offense to give them good field position, the engine would give the (CPU or even user) team momentum, thus going on a lengthy drive (eating up the clock or even scoring).

great read. i really like this years madden though. they need to do something about the server and people quitting the games early. instead of playing the computer who are super cheats, they need to let us get the win.

I guess you got me there.

What I meant to say is that I feel old when I stand in a midnight release line with 17 year olds knocking each other's hats off their heads and chasing each other around the parking lot.

That's what I meant to say. No offense to any really "old" gamers.
