^^I think it helps too if you play with a shitty or just average team. I'm da bears so I don't have a running back that's going to break 3-4 tackles in one run, I don't have a stand out WR and my QR isn't the most accurate. In fact, it's rare I break any tackles with Forte on this game.
One thing I've noticed which I didn't really much before is on All Pro, you can, for the most part, really feel the difference in playing say the Colts vs playing Detroit. In many years before, it didn't really matter who the team was you'd smoke them. Now, at least in my case, if I'm playing a good team their star players really stand out and sometimes on defense it can be challenging stopping them etc.
