Up 24-6 in the third and the game freezes on me while I check the depth chart. Now I have to replay the game and don't have time before church to do it. Sucks.

The sim stat engine isn't very good but it hurts when I play the lousy Jags in the playoffs and mediocre Bengals. I also beat the Broncos in wierd game that required a restart (twice in my last 3 games by checking the depth chart in game the game has frozen on me, won't try that again I guess). After I beat the Broncos in the 2nd round John Fox got fired because of it! A little harsh cpu!

I am playing the Bears in the Superbowl. Unfortunately they aren't that great. They have great skill players on offense and not much after that. Tony Romo (88) starts at QB over Jay Cutler (86) who is on the bench. Never mind that Cutler has the highest cap figure (2014 - $16.6 million) and is clogging their cap. They still have $11.83M available but don't spend it wisely. They also signed Anquan Boldin to a $50M 5 year deal in the offseason to be the #2 WR behind Marshall. Crazy money. Shiancoe and Dallas Clark are their TEs. The OL couldn't be put together any worse than what they currently have. I don't get it. What is going on with the cpu logic? (see screenshots below) They have their tackles both playing on the wrong side and same with the guards. They lose points on their overall for all 4 players as a result. Their starting center is only a 70. What gives? Is this a player scheme overall issue? Just doesn't make sense. In free agency you can sign the top OL at any position from $680,000 to $910,000 and they are decent (LT 77, RT 74, LG 74, RG 77, C 73). So if they just reshuffled their OL correctly and signed a Center they would be better. Just like the team that had Doug Baldwin as their #1 WR and only 60s after him, there are at least 5 free agent WRs rated 76 to 78. Why not sign some of those guys? Most street free agents under 80 can be signed to one year deals for under $1M.

At this point I am contemplating switching teams. Maybe the challenge of taking over a crappy team will be more fun if the cpu can't manage their cap and roster correctly but switching teams won't change this. I did sign an extension before this year so not sure this is possible. The real problem is that mid tier free agents (77-82) do not command much money at all. They all ask for less than $2M a year and the cpu seems to ignore them while you can sign them in free agency to be solid backups or low end starters. Both of my backup DEs are rated 80 and 82 and I'm paying them $1M and $1.3 million respectively. My starting RG is actually an 85 now. I signed him as an 80 as my starter to a $5M total, 4 year deal. That's way too cheap! I feel like I'm cheating by simply playing by the rules and signing guys for good deals while the cpu wildly overspends on 85+ rated players and ignore the middle tier guys. They end up being top heavy in spots and bad in too many areas. Maybe I just need to develop house rules for myself but I hate house rules in this area.

I'm annoyed. I won the Superbowl 36-10 but it was way too easy. The game says its set on All Madden and it tweets that it's on All-Madden but there is no way it's on All-Madden. I didn't earn this at all. Something happened in the playoffs and I know I'm playing on All-Pro. Ugh. This game is too stupid that way. I just played an exhibition game against the Bills and lost 29-24. That game felt a lot better. The cpu QBs on All-Madden get the ball out quicker and in rhythm. They aren't stupid like All-Pro. To top it off the Bears wore orange pants and #54 is now Barrett Ruud after Urlacher retired earlier.

Saw a couple firsts. One my QB actually got hurt and left the game. I've never had my QB get knocked out of a game in 3 years. Also so Boldin make a nice catch and then suffer a concussion. The doctors were moving their fingers in front of him on the bench to test him. He was later ruled out by concussion. Heck, I saw the cpu commit a defensive pass interference as well - also rare!

Anyways, I took some screenshots from the Superbowl where BOTH of my RBs ended up with over 100 yards. John Elway presented the Lombardi trophy and it did not resemble John Elway.

Two video highlights (my one young WR dropped four balls including this TD right before the half).
