Once I figured out some good sliders to get more realistic stats I came to love this year's version. Much is improved over last year, but before the patch coach mode was unplayable due to way too many sacks. Now with the patch and some decent sliders I have great results for coach mode and simulating games. If you all want sliders check out the forum on
http://www.maddenmania.com/ they have a lot of helpful info there and some great sliders.
