speak for yourself.. I love it.. if my qb is a 72 overall and he throws for 3,000 yards 20 td 10 ints. and wins the nfc or afc championship, I want him to shoot up.. its so stupid for my player to be winning defensive mvp and move up 0 to 1 points.. I want progression like crazy.. that's what the late round draft picks are for.. I don't like to get high priced players in my franchise.. I want to get those low round picks and make them good and trade them... I love that.. I hope I get rapid progression like that

Just lower your rush D to all 0s and the CPU will run better.

I hate that alternative. It takes the chess match out of the game entirely.

If you know the run is coming and you call a great run defense, you should stop the run play.

The issue is that the CPU can't even run when you line up in quarters or dime. There is no strategy on defense. Why even draft LBs? Just come out in the dime every play and you can cover the pass and the run just fine. That is sad. Half of the game is broken.

You know it's gonna be patch day when 250-ish people are browsing (read: F5F5F5F5F5F5F5F5) the Madden Forum.

Madden has been like that for a while now. Where have you been.
