2nd Patch Kick Returns FAR too Easy

[K22]

Just increase kickoff length to around 75-80

I think people can imagine millions of things after the patch because if something happens out of the ordinary,it must be cause of the patch and not just because things are random and sometimes reoccuring. Not saying people are wrong, but if you look through the post patch threads there are about1000 things that people claim are different after the patch.

I am a custom slider maker and I can honestly tell you thats theres a huge difference in the SLIDERS since the "patch". The kick returns are very easy to do now.

I have broken two off so far and both have been caught before the 10 by the last guy.


Also consider im pretty darn good on returns vs cpu or human.

Don't the defenders get thrown to the ground really easily now, making alot more space to run through? I noticed this right away.

It happens in reverse, it seems. Instead of my blockers getting thrown, in order to get to the runner, the defenders go down easily. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I have a franchise (All-Pro difficulty) with Reggie Bush and Devin Hester, I call the return 2 plays to get both those guys back there (direction seems to be irrelevant) and I get at least 1 KR TD every game. Every game.

Dude i thought it was just me. Well...there is something going on since the "patch". I played a game that had 3 kickoff returns for TDs in the 4th quarter. 2 by the CPU and 1 by me. I ended up loosing the game on their 2nd in a row as time expired. Im starting to get turned off this game. I truly beleive there is some crazy unrealistic "comeback AI". Are the defenses just getting too tired now since they increased fatigue? Rediculously so.

I had 3 kick returns in the 4th quarter in one game - 2 by the CPU and 1 by me. I think there is some correlation between the increased fatigue and the ease of returning kickoffs. Since this happened at the end of the game, and the CPU winning on their 2nd kick return for a TD in a row i thought there was some unrealistic "comeback AI" involved. What is going on with Madden since the "patch"?

RBs walking on some hand-offs, glitchy cutscenes, abscent replays, poor coverage in the flats and too much on deep passes and now He-Man kick returns? EA, please fix. Madden is becoming unplayable again.
