One thing I hope for in 2007

I simply want less of a contrast between the rookie and pro levels. The pro levels cheat and the rookie level is too easy.

You dont find pro too easy? Wow. I think the first two levels are only really there to introduce people to the game...When I have friends over who havent played it yet, we play co-op vs pro, for them to get their bearings..

What do you mean..They cheat?

cashpath · #4 (**permalink**) 05-27-2006

Well.. here's how it works..

Rookie- The Human team gets about a 20% boost to its attributes..

Pro- The Human team gets about a 10% boost to its attributes

All Pro- The teams are even

All Madden- The CPU team gets about a 10% boost to its attributes

PRO level cheats?????? Wow u might just wanna leave now b4 ne1 else sees this. U might get ripped be everyone thats on the board. I havent ever lost on anything but All-Madden.

hmm.. well I've lost online and its all-pro..

I've also lost some all-pro games with adjusted sliders as I was getting back into playing the game and had a crappy team...

But I guess I'm just not that good

all-pro is too easy. the difference between the two is major, though, considering the speed of kick-metres is very fast (for all-proers) and until you get used to it you will constantly fumble because the CPU actually knows how to tackle you, as well as that the CPU learns, so you cant use 1 play per drive and make 70 touchdowns.

rookie - for first time playing, or for superstar preseasons
pro - for when you start scoring 30-0 against a rookie CPU
all-pro - for when you get past your first franchise year
all-madden - for when you can ace every single mini-camp or are using cheats to show off that you can play all-madden but really you cant. loser.

they need a harder difficulty. call it superstar or something. where the CPU gains 20% bonus attributes and can use madden cards.

All Madden is weird sometimes. It's a pretty good difficulty most of the time, but one season it seemed like I absolutely could not stop the run. My team was rated fairly high on defense, but every single game, I would give up like 150 to 200 yards rushing. I thought it was so odd because normally, the CPU is pretty bad at running the ball. What I noticed was that it seemed like the CPU's run blocking was super-juiced up. The O-line would push my D-line back like 4-5 yards (no lie!!!) as soon as the ball was snapped. Even the WRs locked onto my corners and wouldn't let go until the RB was 20 yards downfield. After 4 or 5 games of scrub running backs behind scrub O-lines putting up like 1000 combined yards, I finally pushed the CPU run blocking slider down like 5 points and finally solved the problem.

This is just an example. Sometimes the CPU on All Madden is pretty easy and other times, it seems like they just cheat in order to win the game. Sometimes, the QB will sit in the pocket for like 6-8 seconds while his O-line knocks down every single one of my linemen. Other times, the best O-line in the game will give up like 10 sacks in one game .I did it to Peyton Manning yesterday and his O -line is rated 99,94, 98, 90,98. Sometimes, I think All Madden is too easy, other times, I slam down my controller in frustration because the game keeps cheating. I guess it's better than All Pro which is way too easy.

I can't ace ALL the mini-camps...only a few like the HB, WR, CB, and Chase and Tackle. And I don't cheat either. But I play on All-Madden with sliders adjusted in the CPU's favor. And I don't even really consider myself to be that good, I have friends that are better than me...

Is there anyone who can ace ALL the mini-camps? I mean, there are easy ones like the Catching Drill, Chase and Tackle, Halfback Drill and Defensive Back drill. But some drills are really hard. Like the QB drill where you have to dodge those balls. THe first two levels are okay, but Madden and All Madden are hard as hell! If you get sacked or miss a target, you'll never get a gold trophy. THey give you too little time on that drill and one single mistake will seriously cost you.

The Defensive Linemen Drill ( I can't recall the name of it right now) is ridiculously hard. First of all, you have to have someone with at least 80 speed or you'll NEVER get a gold trophy. Secondly, you have way too little time and the offensive linemen knock you down a lot. If you get knocked down ONE time, you're thru. ANd on Madden or All Madden, you're gonna get knocked down.

The other QB drill where you throw thru the rings isn't hard, it's just too long and I never feel like finishing it.

The kicking and punting drills are moderately difficult. The kicking drill is a bit harder because of the time limit.

Is there anyone who can honestly say that they can ace EVERY SINGLE drill in mini-camp? If so, what are you doing to beat them?
