    One of the main problems is everyone is so used to playing aggressively. you cant go for hitsticks and interceptions every play like the older editions. Sometimes you need to Swat a ball or take the correct route and make a simple tackle instead of hitsticking from 3 yards away.

      being over aggressive seems to be a common denominator.......and this applies to both sides of the ball....O & D
      3rd & 14, inside your own 15, up 6, 3:20min left to go = call a PA Pass and Cancel. *its Legit, so no needless complaining

        Agreed. Lot of guys complaining about the deep ball but always come out in a 3-4 cover 3 zone and control a DEnd to rush the passer and refuse to play 2 man under.

          This year is going to be a scorefest if it isn't patched up a little on defense... If it was just about not being overly aggressive people could adjust, but on all-madden a guy like jamal charles shouldn't be popping off 200+ yards on 10 carries with like 20 broken tackles on the way there... just sayin... couple this with the mostly absent passrush where the qb has 10 minutes to throw and it's an offense happy game...

            I play alot of 2 man under but the crossing routes are money this year too.. so you can play 2 deep all day but you're still going to get burned by either the run or the crosses.. It's a chess match for sure, but the chess match this year is getting the one stop per game so you score last... hell of a fun game though, i have to say..

              Chris Johnson breaks on average 3 tackles per run. Ridiculous.

                While I agree, I dont think thats the main reason for the high scores. Last night, in my game with ShoGun, I couldn't stop his passing game to save my life. If I ran man, my CB's couldn't keep up with drags and in outs. IF I was in zone, the DBs/LB's were smart enough to move around if there were no one in their zone. Even when I knew he was going to Fitz(btw, how do you spotlight WR's this year??) I couldn't stop him because the CB's would play dumb on just about every play.

                          something always broken every year when online gamers dont like the game for any reason.........

                          So far = D.Pad, Kicking Meter, Lack of Defense (AM or AP) and as usual....Lag

                          cant expect perfection......
