I can't do it. The point is to have fun, so I just dial down the challenge level until I succeed!

But so far I have been on some passing droughts lately it is hard to get 20 carries in 7 minute quarters.

I heard that Madden 19 refuses to use Kaepernick's name, audibly, although he is a virtual player. This might be our first boycott.

Initially they did though.

But Madden, as we noted last year, takes place in a world where none of that matters, because none of that exists. It's a game that makes you stop for a moment so it can download the very latest roster updates for immersion and realism, but also, for some reason, bleeped out Colin Kaepernick's name on the soundtrack as if it were a curse word. EA Games quickly apologized and uncensored the track, calling it an "unfortunate mistake." Mistake or not, it's a pretty good metaphor for Madden. Here, realism only goes so far.

It makes my christmas shopping easier.

We play on all madden level. They are all good and I'm terrible, especially since madden got rid of the formation that I've been using for YEARS! To make myself feel better, i play in a franchise by myself set on pro so that i can just destroy my opponents. It's really therapeutic in getting rid of frustration.

I figured out how to run by pushing the burst after the handoff so I started a new franchise because my running back acts 2.9 YPC which is impressive since I have been holding sprint as soon as I snap the ball and it doesn't work like that. Passing may be too easy except when Rosen is in there who often gets picked by linebackers but still pretty easy but at least there is a challenge which I look for.

Ever since I switched to the 46 defensive scheme the CPU QBs & RBs are terrible but I do have Patrick Peterson, 80 CB, and Budda Baker as my nickel cb with Tre Boston and Antoine Bethea as my SS.
