then mess with the sliders...i hate when people complain about it being too easy or too hard without even adjusting the playing level or adjusting the sliders for instance:i play on all madden, but with normal sliders, the CPUs Oline and RB ability is terrific, so i lower that, while i find that my oline and WR ability is bad, so i raise that. Mind you, only slight changes, one or two notches in either direction.
