Solo seasons the run seems a lil more challenging

they absolutely did. because everyone asked to make CPU challenges harder, smfh. i have a 96OVR team and they are playing like a 74OVR team

i'm so fucking sick and tired of this shit programming. WHAT IS THE POINT OF GETTING BETTER RATED PLAYERS??????? if they just auto-balance the AI to match you step for step anyway.

98OVR center getting bull rushed by 81OVR defensive tackles? check. 98 boosted OVR AJ Brown can't catch if there's a DB within 2 yards of him because the garbage pass break animation kicks in. and he doesn't get separation anyway, because they juice the fucking shit out of the AI so any DB or LB covering him stays step for step.

 get the fuck out of here. this shit is stupid.

Playing rn and the cpu has abilities and playing like their life depends on it. I dont mind the increased difficulty but a little info from EA regarding it would be nice. Maybe they are tired of people getting easy free bnds.

While they were tinkering around in there, they could have updated the rewards to make them less cheeks. Lol who am I kidding.

The rewards are most likely the reason they did it.

Its the most profitable cpu mode and generally rewards more than running a promo's cpu event.

EA is just slimy with rewards overall.

Saw a few ppl talking this so I figured I’d give it a quick run last night:: They def changed it, but it’s still a cakewalk.. seems the rosters were updated with newer guys and abilities, and possibly the play call logic was given an update.. 

If 80+ coin cards were more prevalent in their poor excuse for reward packs (or just more current hero+ cards) it could be worth the time, but I’d rather just grind the AH and online events for coin than that boring mess.. overall still not worth it for the (reward;time spent)ratio… that’s just my opinion

I love it. I play mostly offline so having something a little more challenging that gives decent rewards... Im all for it. Been much less boring playing it.

Exactly this. Beating the CPU by 50+ every game got boring. This keeps my interest at least now.

Im all for it being more difficult, but I don't know in what world people consider paydirt and end zone packs "good". Early on in the season when cards had value, sure. Now the best youre gonna pull is an 88-89 which you might as well qs for training...

Is it me or did Ea ramp them up?I usually run thru these with my eyes closed.

Id say so, also looks like they added players with abilities now too. I always just mid blitz them on d, turn on chew clock, run drags or spam hb wha  or inside zone. They definitely are juiced tho, locking down my non drag routes and get tons of quick shed sacks.

I really enjoy the update. The cpu actually tries really hard to win and definitely have improved logic. Its a good challenge instead of a boring cake walk.should of been done way earlier and not 3/4 into the games life, Hope they keep it this way.

The run is definitely different, and it’s lame. Thanks EA

It did become more difficult but I'm glad it did.

Yeh no thanks

Just played the 1st game in the 3rd run. And wow, its like playing a top madden player. Strouds the qb and Vick is the rb. Vick is a demon to take down. Im ok for making it more challenging but this mode should not be this sweaty.
