Rookie premier challenges are ridiculously hard

i have never seen madden ai cheat me this badly in any challenge as these challenges are

Honestly, I’m a fan. They are kind of frustrating but it’s nice that theyre a challenge.

Maybe it's just my team and abilities but I don't think they're too bad.

If the challenge requires rushing yards, I like to use a read option play as you can usually break one of those for big yards against the cpu. It might take a few tries but I found it's more consistent than trying to break long runs with other run plays.

For passing, I usually just spam 4 verts someone is usually gets open. It's usually the TE with the crossing route but sometimes my outside wrs beat the CB deep.

Defense, I'm usually able to complete it first try just by using cover 1 hole and cover 3 from nickel 2-4. If you need a sack, try your favorite blitz. I usually use even 6-1 sam will blitz

Did you not do the challenges to get the 99 Pola-Mao? I'd say that these are on a par.

And we are facing the same team as in last week's challenges, so the familiarity of how to play them on defense is there. It's hilarious making big man CB Carmichael look ordinary on the outside with a much shorter WR if you know what you're doing.

Those were incredibly easy lol. 

People keep saying hard and when I think Madden hard, Im thinking last gauntlet challenge hard hard.

NO, I REPEAT NO solo challenge this late in the year should ever be this JACKED up for any reason whatsoever.I will NOT finish these NO DAMN REWARD is ever worth this and it never will be. Here it is July and this is truly a priceless act & an all-time low.It would have been nice to enjoy the last days or 23 and get that XP but oh well we get proved again just how things are in this game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ive tried for 30 minutes. CANNOT get a sack on “dominant Defense”. Makes you wonder what buffs/nerfs they hide…

I’m taking a break. I’ve played the last one soooo many times. Last one is no joke fellas. Win against a 98 OVR on All Madden starting from half, score 20 pts, and all while your team is in quicksand.

Basically run verticals and hope for 1-2 play TDs for the first 2 , took several tries but finally got it done.

I wasn't disputing the difficulty of them, I was simply making a comparison to what we'd had earlier in the 23 cycle. Thought that was obvious.

I dunno man. Perhaps the view from EA is that many people have 99 teams by now, and this right here is the ultimate test of said made team and the ability to run it.

I wish they brought the old school gauntlet finals back. Those were crazy and fun

Just buy Jamal.  He was 200k when I looked.  He's worth a mil easy.

can't wait
