I've been playing online and in Franchise mode, and this is pretty damn hard. I really like the direction they took with the difficulty level, though.

Especially online, points are VERY hard to come by. In the 7 games I've played online, the most either myself or my teammate scored was 24 points (by me!). It's not a lack of skill either. I have some people on my friends list who play the game non-stop, and where they scored 60 points a game, they're now averaging around 25. Is anyone going through this?

It was tough at first but I've got it know. Just don't play offline on "my skill" difficulty because the IQ test is too easy on the offensive side so it makes scoring points hard. Online just try to find someone of your skill level. I have the most success when I use a lot of slant routes. Right now I average like 21-24 points a game with is average. A team hardly ever scores 50 points let alone 60 so Actually it's more realistic this way.

Ahh. The IQ stuff is so flawed. Just like Jeff said, all you have to do is hit buttons and it thinks you are really good. That does not translate over to a real game in it. I dont know, I am still undecided on whether I should trade this in.
