Or does it just seem that way because playoffs= Better Teams. I cant sure for sure but it appears this way to me. To clarify I mean does madden up the difficulty kinda secretly in the background

I can't confirm or deny it for you, but a few years back, Madden 10, or 11... whichever year had that throwback, sepia tone thing going on... I remember pre-release the devs revealed that the CPU would play you tougher in playoff, and rivalry games. It wouldn't surprise me if some of that old code was still lurking.

I say no. If anything the teams are a disappointment and feel like less of a challenge.

I think so, but I can confirm they are great in the 4th quarter. I like it that way.

IMO the computer AI gets tougher in the regular season and playoffs. With the 16 game season in football, the gradual increase in difficulty is perfect.

I think so.

I had an offense with these WRs (Rivers as my QB): Julio Jones, Mike Evans, Randall Cobb, Pierre Garcon, T.Y. Hilton, and Vincent Jackson. Played a lot of 5-wide. On All Madden, I set the scoring and yard record.

In the regular season, right before the playoffs, I beat Seattle I think 37-13 or something like that. In the playoffs I played them, and their LINEBACKERS were blanketing those guys, and I was down like 24-0 in the 2nd quarter before I rage quit and adjusted the sliders.

I played the same. The CPU changed dramatically.

You got to remember that the confidence factor works for CPU teams too...confidence skyrockets for playoff teams so there players are all going to have attribute boosts

As someone who doesn't play offline cfms, this is my best guess as to the increase in difficulty

Yeah they do I think. It's not so much a huge ratings boost for them, more like they know exactly what play you are running more often than not.
