Yes, and other issues (A.I. fumbles, interceptions, psychic DB/LB play, and some more).

I have to disagree with what's highlighted above.
Afain,there was never a mention of fixing this issue....at least as far as the cpu is concerned.
That problem is in the ai coding for the cpu qb's.....their just to plain stupid in certain situations.

If that dude wasn't in this game it would have helped so much more.

both, qb rarely overthrow/underthrow a target, and when they do, the DB/WR adjust their route in a very unrealistic way

Thats cool, but I am seeing a difference. In my franchise the A.I. averaged 3 to 4 INT's per game, and now post patch it has around 1 to 2. I don't know I have not played differently; 5 minutes, All Pro, and default sliders.

One thing those INT's that are thrown by the A.I. have been kind of mind boggling because it seems like they rushed throws on occasions, not all. Peace.

Guys I will post in about an hour. But to answer some ?'s about the patch, I feel it did a ton! Besided the franchise fix (did anybody else notice that before the patch when importing college players from ncaa they all generally sucked. Dmac was like a mere 90 on speed, now its realistic, he had 97?) the patch also fixed the DB's ability to make so dumb int and fumble dont happen near as much. Also theres facemask penelties being called now.....naw, just messin with yall, EA's not that good! but I will post soon.

But now that the patch is out I did some things to the game that really paid off. For starters I am of course using the latest rosters, nj papis all madden sliders but on the all pro level.(all madden tends to be cheap and not realisitic.) I made small minor adjustments, tweaked the penelties and for the major upgrade(kinda) the volume is 100 for everything except the radio announcer. I hate listening to that! Now I get an on the field feeling that is nasty sweet! So the thread is for anyone who either has had the same experience as I have or have done their own thing. Some people B!tch about how bad madden is but I tell ya, once you fix the little things its bad to the bone. I am true to life 4-1 with the 'boys(lost to the damn patriots go figure!) and I have had close games as well as blow outs where I should. Sound off

Madden is a lot better when you got playoff fever from your real-life team.
