that is where you are wrong...If you call a streak then you get a receiver having a step or 2 depending on who the receiver is

on my team steve smith is not going to blow past champ bailey

with the patch the streaks allow for a step or 2 and the cpu reacts properly

db play issues are mainly with the cpu defender breaking before or at the same time as the receiver

that is fixed with the sliders.

there is no rocket catching with hardcore and all madden adjusted based sliders....i dont know how you come up with that theory

but to each his own....

what sliders are you using.

because anything default is not going to work..the patch was for slider affectivness

About to play my first game with the patch, just by reading some comments, the patch seems to be pretty good. Gonna get the AFL content later on today as well

I don't watch the computer play each other, so the broadcast cam is pretty worthless. Looks decent enough, but you can't see down the field. I couldn't ever see myself playing with that view.

Well... I was happy when i downloaded the patch this morning; then I popped it in and thought hmmm... I don't know, but it seems to me that the Cpu quarterback throws to the open man even faster, i'm talking about the split second that they're open. This makes for even harder sacks, as I played two all-madden play now games and recorded no sacks. Won one game, lost the other.

Now, It seems like the QB's talking on the phone get their face already uploaded immediately as soon as their on the phone, so no more pop in textures, but there's a flicker on their head that kinda sucks.

I threw a few button hooks with success, of course db's still jump your routes, but I was throwing with Mark Sanchez so who knows. For the most part it feels a bit cleaned up, and I have no beef with the patch, but I do think the cpu Qb's are throwing the ball to the open man way to fast.

I couldn't get the run game established against the Jaguars, but I did have the Seahawks in game two, and E. James didn't look to hot with that line. I did notice that I got out the backfield a little though, but needs more testing. Overall its ok... but I expected a little more influence on the changes.

Have raised CPU run blocking and broken tackles to 100 and still haven't noticed much of a difference.

that's pretty damn weak...so much for slider effectiveness, especially run blocking. im guessing the pass rush is the exact same as well.......
