Madden 21 franchise difficulty too easy

Hi, using my 10 hours I’ve been playing a cloud franchise at all-madden level with friends. However I’m racking up over 50 points per game & conceding 7 on average. Also have over 65 fumble forced by mid season. Tried changing to all-pro but same results. Hot stick hits seem far too effective & it’s now become pointless, no challenge to the game.

    I have found this similar, however every game I play I go 14 - 0 down and its impossible to stop them, they make 3rd downs everytime, even if I sack twice on 1 & 2 leaving them 22 yards they then find a way to get to 23.

    But then after that I find I can pull back and then blow them away. 

    Strange as the difficulty doesn't seem to change in settings?

    Hopefully this is sorted before actual launch on friday

  • I think it’s more fun because some passes nfl qb make in real life you couldn’t make on the previous madden like if you have a linebacker beat and you have position on that linebacker there is no reason he should automatically become faster and pick you off when QBs in the nfl can make that throw and if you have position on someone else and have separation there’s no way they are gonna find extra in the tank at the last second and pick you off 

  • Went undefeated to the Superbowl winning most games with 50+ points and several forced fumbles. Also, almost every single FG or PAT results in a roughing the kicker penalty against computer. No longer enjoyable.

    I guess that makes you a badass then ha because my online franchise with my buddy i am struggling like no other. I never win games. I expect to lose more games than I win because of the All-Madden difficulty. However, I have an offline franchise set to All-Madden and competitive with MY Cincinnati Bengals and I'm 4-0 with the same settings. Does anyone else have this problem? Online franchise with a friend seems more difficult than an offline franchise?

  • The same happened for me. But then I checked while the game was still going, and it had changed to rookie level. And you couldn't change it back. I was winning big time with DiNucci at QB. It's saying a lot.
