You must be a God at kick returns or you are the worlds luckiest man because I've not even seen any day light on them on all-pro. Either that or all-madden is messed up.

I'd recommend lowering the game speed to slow and threshold to the 20-35 range. It seems to make the game play better, although running the ball is dependent on how well you block.

One more thing that is an eye sore is the camera view when running, it seems to zoom in and out like 3 times by the time you get the ball it is starting to give me a headache.

Has anyone played with the zoomed camera in the actual game? Does it zoom in and out like this?

Running the ball on All-Madden, with the Packers at least, is pretty easy as well.

The running game still needs some work. Either you get stone-walled at the LOS, or you easily get to the 2nd level, and/or fall forward for 4-5 yards. It just doesn't feel right.

The game overall, is the first EA football title where I can say that they've made an honest effort to produce a solid simulation product. Between NCAA and Madden, this is the first game that I've seen from them that actually feels like a game of football.

It's not perfect, the blocking AI is still bad and glitched, but the game itself is finally a step in the right direction. I think I'll definitely purchase this to go along with APF, buutt, tuner sets do worry me.

Ok, well the issue with threshold lower than 50 in NCAA was it made the slants route money cuz the LBs were way too slow to cover anyone even slow WRs...that may be the issue here as well...

just ran the opening kick back odogg lol the crowd exploded that was pretty amazing but i do the same thing in college idk y the cpu doesnt tackle me maybe its that damn locomotion they started last year

passing is a lot easier for me in the demo than in ncaa

but a total of 6 fumbles for both teams combine in a game is kinda dumb

also my de doesnt fall down every play like in ncaa
