I have lowered the CPU INT down to 30 on All Madden and it didn't seem to make a difference, however I did drop the pass defense reaction slider to 45 (I believe) and it seems to have made a difference. I am still extremely careful when making passes though and I analyze every passing down that ends in an incompletion to see if there is a route I'm missing or if there was no where to throw the ball. The improved defense is definitely apparent but I am not seeing a discrepancy between defenses in terms of difficulty.

I'm really enjoying the challenge from the CPU/A.I., all 7 of my Redskins CFM games have played out in ways I can truly imagine. Love that defense is back and look forward to even better cpu/A.I. play for M15.

Fun fact; last gen M25 first 100 CFM games I went 88-12 using tough sliders/next gen M25 (PS4), through 7 games playing default All Pro difficulty 3-4 and loving the challenge; my games are like watching the real Redskins, lol.

Comp % are not too high at default? At default that has been my biggest issue, I'd LOVE to stay default but with that I can't.

And I didn't miss it one bit. Decided to give this year's game a try since I was going to need some variety for PS4 to start. Tried it out for maybe 3/4 of a game and I enjoyed it, was thinking i'd finally enjoy Madden again. Then I finally decided to go back to it again last night for a second try, played a full game and was bored real fast. The game looked and felt like a slightly upgraded version of what I remember the demos playing like (because I still tried the demos each year). Didn't feel Next Gen. So the Honeymoon phase for me last about 3/4 of a game then I was bored and I seriously doubt i'll bother playing it again. Once you play NBA 2k to me it's almost impossible to go play Madden.

You are definitely the minority this time around...most of all my friends including myself that played every madden on current gen..feel totally different with Madden on Next Gen...it is indeed a much better playing game...and is more fun to play as well ...their are issues as there is with all video games and developers of Madden really need to improve on the atmosphere and presentation for Madden next gen to make it that truly fun and exciting game but as far as gameplay goes...this madden is definitely a big step up from current gen. Animations, better more varied cut scenes, half time show..better tweaked AI logic,etc all need to be improved this generation..hopefully in August but what they have here on Next Gen is a nice nice surprise to me and all my friends. We all got the game on PS4 launch day about two weeks ago and keep going back to it...where as before with current gen maddens we would get bored right away...

I dont know buddy...maybe you do not even have the game or maybe you really have not given the game enough time..especially by your comments which prove this. I mean i respect everyone's opinions but its kinda easy to spot biased opinions especially looking at past post history of members of these forums.

Can't believe what I saw. I ran a screen with Shady McCoy and ran out of bounds as soon as I saw the defender coming. He ends up hitting me even though I stepped out and got flagged for Unnecessary Roughness lol. That has never happened in CG Madden

I played over 100 games of Madden 25 on CG and i saw it about 2 or 3 times.
It was on CG too. i have yet to see it on NG yet.
