Yes getting this as well - my QB missing a bunch of easy throws when well set and no pressure, and CPU suddenly completing everything and basically only incompletions are throw aways or picks. I’d actually come here from using A&S All American sliders hoping to find something different after experiencing this.

Starting a game now vs ND in the Northern Illinois dynasty. May get multiple in tonight, definitely will tomorrow, so we'll be able to see more about the pass blocking and QB accuracies for both teams. Hopefully I can get a clear impression of what has changed, if anything, quickly and get the needed adjustments out.

Its amazing to me how many people on these forums automatically download updates as if its guaranteed to make improvements to the gameplay. Im not trying to blast you all but do you honestly think the EA crew is spending as much time weighing these settings offline as these slider gurus? I dont know i could be wrong but i shut my internet off so fast when i get a sports game playing well that it would take some serious improvement to allow a patch which usually caters to the online crowd to make any adjustments to my initial product. Just my two cents i know we all shoot for realism i love the game i have issues with it pre patch its not perfect but i just lean towards what these guys have put together over what EA gives for patches majority of the time!!

That’s a fair point, and actually why I’m thinking about just going back to default AA or Heisman and not touching sliders, and just dealing with whatever (for now at least).

Didn't run into any pass protection or accuracy issues in the 3 games played tonight. Again, I am OC at NIU, so I only play offense.

I played

@ Notre Dame
vs Buffalo
@ NCST

and they all played out as expected. I actually had the NCST game in the bag before my defense collapsed and allowed 28 points in the 4th quarter including the 78 yard hail mary as time expired

My play calling and my team's performance offensively was essentially flawless that game as my QB was something like 25 of 30. It was a ridiculous stat line and he was throwing dimes left and right after not doing that in the other two games where he played much more to his ratings completing around 60% of his passes.

Based off those 3 games tonight I feel the user offense is in a good place still after the patch, but I have no clue on the CPU offense since I don't play defense as the OC.

Cpu QB accuracy at 15 looks like the way to go on the LAHC 2.0 after the patch.

Ok, hopefully last dynasty for a while. Didn’t wanna abandon the Akron one but wanted the last few updates they pushed for online dynasties. Should’ve just done an online dynasty to begin with but lesson learned. Anyways, decided to start with Kent St. First game vs Pitt:




Almost won this one even though I was severely outgained. Their Frosh QB threw two picks, one of which was a pick 6. Bit of a bug but I was 23/32 and Pitt was 20/26 passing. My defense is atrocious and I would expect that given the ratings.

Still rolling with LAHC #1 and might stay here for a while. Feel like I’m getting great games other than some minor things which is to be expected. If I could ever figure out end of half defense I’ll be golden

Here's how I play defense and it typically works well at the end of the half.

I have my base coverages I am in the majority of the time which are often cover 4, cover 3 match, and some cover 2. I mix in man and some blitzes depending on how the game has flowed and what I've picked up their tendencies are.

I don't disguise my coverages too often through the bulk of the half. If they aren't pushing the ball vertically as often, I may sit in more cover 3 or 0 shells depending on their alignment to have more men up close to play the run aggressively and limit RAC on anything underneath.

Once I get to the end of the half when they are starting to push the tempo, I use my own tendencies against them by running the cover 4, 3, and 2 shells constantly while switching up what I am running. For example, if it was a game where I was in cover 4 the majority of the half, I'll sit in a cover 4 shell to start off their drive and maybe run cover 4 play 1, then cover 2 play 3, and cover 6 if I get them in 3rd down.

It seems like if you are constantly disguising coverages the CPU can start picking up on that and it becomes less effective over time, but if you do it here and there, then ramp it up more on a specific drive it can be more effective that way.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I've had good results doing it that way with me stopping a lot more end of half drives than not lately.
