I played 2 games with them last night and I wasn't impressed either.
- Bucs 58 Panthers 31
- Bucs 69 Saints 44
It was all offense. I felt like I was playing Madden 25 again, which was a terrible feeling.
I highly suggest turning tackling and interceptions back up to 50 for both user and cpu. Tackling below 50 causes guys to take worse angles to make tackles, which means more big plays. Interceptions effects coverage, not just the ability of the defense to catch. I saw broken coverage repeatedly on both sides of the ball.
With tackling turned back up, you are going to want to wrench run blocking back up to at least 35 if not higher (I think 50). Right now this combo of tacking and run blocking makes running work like M25: you can't run inside, you can only run outside. One of the best parts of this year's game is that inside and outside running are balanced.
Special Teams seems to be fine.
Penalties are probably fine too, except I would turn up Intentional Grounding (I think 75) so the QB gets rid of the ball a little faster when there is pressure. I did have 6 or more sacks in both games I played.
15 minute quarters is only ok if you lower the clock rundown. At 17 seconds, I am snapping the ball with 11 seconds left on the play clock.
