Luckily I only have 2 games left in the season, so maybe a fix will be out by the time I start the next season. I'm not going to edit all the brace traits. That is time consuming and could also lead to a lot more fumbles. I've still had the RB or receivers make some long runs/catches because when I go in to tackle or hit stick them I completely whiff because I'm not used to the slow speed they running at. Just had Cousins rack up over 300 yards passing on me with that bug. Receivers can still get down the field in their routes just fine.

Prepatch, i noticed reciever not taking off quick on routes. I play broadcast cam, so downfield action doesn’t get seen as much. But it is causing tackle for loss on run plays. Even with run block at 99.

I haven't had a chance to play since Sunday, before the patch, so how bad is this sprint issue? I'm not really interested in having to manually change player traits. Is this issue game breaking without that?

It will wreck the kick return game, and allow most CPU players to be caught from behind on long runs. The CPU can still score by passing, and sometimes will get decent runs due to backs and WRs evading tackles, but over all, there will be a significant decrease in rushing and RAC yards by CPU teams.

After three games with this bug (and being able to easily hold the CPU under 100yds rushing while still calling mostly Nickle/Dime Cover 2, even against the run, in all three), I have shelved Madden 18 (again) until this is fixed.

This is my question as well. Earlier in the thread it was mentioned that changing the trait to medium or hard solved the problem. Then it was mentioned only never solves the problem. Has there been consensus on this? Anyone know if changing to never causes a higher frequency of fumbling?

I can say I did not see the bug occur on a player with the trait on "brace for medium hits", and I outlined how to see that for yourself. I've only seen it on "brace for all hits".

I did not check the effect on fumbling - that would be really hard to test as an end-user anyway, since there are a lot of variables taken into account that determine whether a player will fumble.

Thanks bcruise. I’m going to roll with medium as I believe it will be lower risk of creating more fumbles then using never. Also saw this....good news I think.

Saw this too, my wr was stuck at the line of scrimmage the whole play. He just stood there nothing was touching him. So annoying
