Trust me. I know there is no way this Miami team goes undefeated next year. Some slider ease early on, great signings and lots of magic last year for virtual Miami. I'm 3-3 in my third year right now.
It's time to trade for ROMO! :splat:

I just got destroyed by the 49ers on the road 37-3. I didn't play a good game but for the second time in my franchise the game's difficulty jumped to All-Madden (I know this because it tweeted I lost on All-Madden on my twitter option). It happened to me in the playoffs of year one and now in my third year it jumped again. I knew there was an issue when my WRs started dropping a ton of balls. I only had 11 completions on the game but 9 dropped balls. Never converted a third down.

The game has a very stupid difficulty/slider combination. You start on a default difficulty but as soon as you touch the sliders it turns to custom. Then if you tweak the sliders too much in certain directions it will secretly jump to a different difficulty. It's been posted on OS before that if you start on All-Madden but your user sliders add up to 300 or more collectively it will drop to All-Pro. Also, if any slider is more than 75 it drops to All-Pro. There are some other stupid things that affect stuff too. Very annoyed. I saved my game as I figured it was payback for going perfect last year but I hope I get it back. I know my sliders on All-Pro are tougher than default but my user sliders total over 300. The cpu is over 800 so maybe that's a problem. Don't know.

I just toggled the difficulty between settings and put it back to All-Pro and it stuck now. Didn't help me as I lost to Houston 35-18. They kicked a FG as time expired too when they didn't even have to snap the ball. Second time I've seen this. Pricks.

Ryan Tannehill has been horrid this year for me. I'm 4-5 now (still tied for first in the AFC East) and Tannehill is completing only 49% of his passes with 22 INTs! I think part of the problem is I've boosted the speed threshold as I'm trying to reduce the impact of speed RBs over power backs. Lamar Miller is fast but he shouldn't be averaging more than 2 yards a carry more than Daniel Thomas (who I do use for short yardage). He just turns the corner a little too easy and that is partially EA's fault for not shifting to protect the edge on strong formations. But it appears the higher speed threshold might be making the coverage better, even on slower WRs. Not sure but I can't figure out why I'm so horrible passing this year. I did tweak the sliders to make it a bit harder but nothing that should make this happen. I'm going to test the reverse pass reaction slider method to see if I can loosen some things up a little.

NDomakung Suh got a 6 year, $54 million dollar extension. There was one other decent re-signing. Can't remember.

Well I have decided to quit playing on All-Pro and jump to All-Madden and into tweaking sliders all over again. I just can't get the cpu QBs on All-Pro to be good enough. They are just too stupid - even the great ones. I play against Aaron Rodgers and he struggles to get the ball into the end zone. On All-Madden he can tear me up.

EA needs to add a QB awareness slider so a guy like me can stay on All-Pro where I belong but the cpu QBs aren't brain dead or playing like they have been concussed.
