I'm in, and thanks.

I have a question. I have had bad luck at these things, against good teams or bad. Long drives, just they end poorly. Should I stick with the bottom feeders? I thought about just taking on the top opponent, figuring if I'm going to play like crap why not against someone that everyone is playing crap against and leave the winnable games for someone else.

Take on the bottom feeders to maximize points. LvL is more difficult this year with the counters. I pretty much only run using the iform runs and have good luck. You gave a good oline so you should have success running.

Madden 17 Tuning Update Out Now on PS4 and Xbox One, Here's What It Does

My Bone and Madden should be here tomorrow. Any Xbox leagues going on, I don't see any threads? I haven't played since 25 or 13, whichever was later so should be some free wins until I get back up to speed.

I haven't played Madden since 2011, and haven't really played a substantial amount since 2004, so I'm getting used to this one, but does the CPU really struggle to score on default settings? On All-Pro difficulty I played with the Cowboys suck-rear end defense, called really basic cover 1 and cover 3 stuff and pretty much only controlled d-line like I usually do and the Redskins still only put up like 100 yards of total offense and 6 points.

Also pretty impressive how the UI has continually gotten worse over the past 12 years

Yeah, I have a hard time understanding why they keep UI elements that actively get in the way. You'd think that they'd make a smooth UI, then try to add flash and if it slows it down either nix it or fix it. Instead they start with an unworkable mess and... leave it that way?

Damn it, this always happens. I think I'm gonna score, and then I never score. It's not fair.

Pretty much, yeah. I find the same issue, and that going to All-Madden difficulty makes things stupid in the other extreme, so IMO the best option is to just tweak around the sliders, both for the player and CPU, until you find something that is consistently challenging without being absurdly difficult. It does take a fair amount of playing around to get things that feel right, however, and it will vary a bit depending on what mode your playing (Like, I'll set my CFM sliders a little more difficult cause I'll usually have better teams thanks to drafting and whatnot).

Is there an easy way in Madden Mobile to see your drives in a league? I generally spend my stamina twice a day, but it's not super intuitive where to spend it in league games.

Are you talking about the league vs league matchups? If so, if you didn't play your drives there will be a blue dot next to it.

Is there any way to see stats in league games (on mobile)? The league wants everybody to keep track of running yards. A couple of times I've closed out games and had to go back and add up the yards. Also, some folks are posting up 3,000 or 500 yards. Where are those coming from?

Don't worry about posting league game stats, just season games. That's where you can get lots of yards.

The game froze on me twice today in my CFM causing me to have to replay matches. First it was the final 10 seconds of the game and I was iced when trying to make the winning PAT. The face buttons wouldn't trigger the play call after the time out the. I paused the game and it completely froze.

Second I had just lost my second WR to injury of the game and I went to the depth chart to see exactly who was left and the game froze when I see pulled the trigger to go to WR.

Anyone else have this kind of poo poo happen?

Just let me love you Madden, stop doing this to me!

I mean, we're only really posting yardage from the season games to show we're active and not just there to freeload the achievements. If you're participating in the league championships we'll see that. No one is taking an actual running total of how much everyone contributes, we just don't want a bunch of freeloaders in the league and the more everyone contributes the faster we get the players.

If youre a normal human, its worth getting simply because the gameplay is the best it's ever been. Play with other goons for best results.

If you're an autist who can't handle inaccurate/unrealistic stats from simulations, or occasional (frequent) bugs then don't get it.

I don't get why it's so hard to provide an update like above for MM or actually tell people what events and sets actually produce instead of just leaving everyone guessing.
