The game definitely feels more "sim" now.

[kenyon072]

I've played 2 games in a new season with the NFL. I'm the Lions and I'm 0-2 on hard. losses were 24-21 and 21-10 against the Pack and Panthers respectively.
Stafford has went 41/76 for 601 yards and 4-4 TD-INT. Best has 63 yards on 39 attempts (running is hard in the NFL, guys. The complaints about it are unwarranted). CJ is of course my leading receiver.

Defense also has a better feeling to it. I can't pinpoint anything, but I'm involved with the play initially less than half of the time (which is realistic as far as I'm concerned).

I'm playing on hard with almost everything off and very good form. Enjoying it much more with the patch.

Yeah, but from what I'm hearing you still don't have to worry about defending the run.

I could agree to this to a point. I've had somewhere between 50 and 75 yards rushing against me. Most were from big runs. This could still use some fine tuning.

Not yet-as I mentioned in another thread I loaned the game out to my girlfriend's son over a month ago. He lives 40 miles away. I'm trying to get up the energy to take the ride.

EDIT:I've been playing a little APF-that hasn't motivated me much.

That's what I don't like. Sounds a lot like pre-patch. I just had Thurman Thomas spin move me for a 45 yard TD in APF and I could have stopped him!! That's what I'd like to see in BB.

Re: The game definitely feels more "sim" now.

Just finished my third game. Lost to the Pats 31-24. Stafford went 22/47 for 347 yards and 3 TD and 4 INTs. The picks really killed me and I would have won if I didn't throw into coverage so much. My running game was stuffed only putting up 16 yards on 19 attempts.

Defensively, I allowed 295 yards including 83 rushing yards from Maroney. I had 2 picks and a sack.

Very, very sim. If the running game is tweaked slightly and I learn to pass better, it will be amazing.

I agree. I like more short passes ad ball control first game 20/27 passing 275, 2 td's 1 int. Running game 19 attempts 65 yards, against the Jets. Very sim game.

For anyone that missed it, you can count 7 defenders "BITE" on the pump fake... all using the same tired animation.

It is far more sim than the alternative.

C'mon dude! Every football game has instances where it gets a bit arcadish(some more than others). But quite frankly, that isn't even that bad. It was a defense with low awareness. They have not added the proper animations yet, but we all know what's going on there. Instead of leaving their man to run where they think the ball is going, they jump to swat it. That's the only weird thing about it, but I'm sure it'll be fixed. I'd much rather this happen than defensive backs being better route runners than the receivers or defensive backs running in circles.

Your absolutely wrong the team was rated higher than my team in every area. This occurred in RTBB, if you look closely, you can see that a few are starting their swat animation before the QB even makes the pump fake. This is actually an issue where the computer knew what I was doing, and had audibled into the proper play to stop me (something else Madden does), if I had thrown the pass, it would have been surely intercepted by any player covering a man, since I did not throw it, every player cut their animation short. Some of the players begin to ascend and then immediately resume contact with the ground.... this still doesn't excuse the fact that 7 total defenders all bit on the fake I could brush it off if it were the corner and the safety, hell the corner the safety, and a linebacker would have been acceptable, but for 7 to jump all at the same time is unacceptable.
