I went ahead despite the warnings and got it. I'm someone who hasn't touched Madden in a decade. So I start my 2 star rated dynasty and I know I need to upgrade my offensive and defensive lines first. So I do that and I now have four 90+ rated lineman. Unfortunately, all that time and patience to land these 4 and 5 star OL recruits at my less prestigious school meant absolutely nothing.
I get to the BCS quarterfinals and my 4 star QB is getting destroyed. My 4 star RB with 95 speed and acceleration can find no holes. Why? My offensive line full of 1st round NFL picks can't even hold up against a 3 man rush. Just absolutely disgusting. I send 3 at the CPU line and their QB literally runs around for 10 seconds to find an open receiver.
Before deleting the game I do some research and find this is ANOTHER common issue. So apparently I need to go into game settings and raise my pass and run block sliders. Also need to reduce CPU pass defense sliders (another problem).
I shouldn't need to do any of that. Bad coding logic on a $70 AAA game is frankly unacceptable. And the line blocking isn't the only glaring issue. Already had to remove roughing the kicker penalties. The only good aspects of this thing are the natural colorful aspects of college football.
