CFM difficulty setting can be changed mid-game?!?

In connected franchise mode many games are played out vs the CPU. It is supposed to be set to All-madden, but when in a game a user is able to modify the difficulty/skill level in the in game settings. This is unfair for users being honest and playing on the All-madden setting. Past madden games did not allow the skill level to be modified in game. This setting should not be available during gameplay because players will nerf statistics which in turn raises their XP.
