Like James Harrison? I think I'd take that.

thanks for the replies, gentlemen.

it sounds like a great improvement with the cpu QB taking sacks, less all-out CPU blitzing and better blocking.

outstanding.

money > bitches
gameplay > stats

i don't care if the simmed DE's get 87 sacks a season; if my played games are fun and more realistic that's what counts.

kudos to the patch-makers and reporters.

This is a great patch they really play the flats tighter the game is way more fluid it plays lke a fb game now the ball does spin in replays. Inpressive Patch

Just a small thing, but are the blocks on the back of the helmets for the Patriots and other teams gone?

Thanks!

I've played 3 games now and I'm absolutely loving how the CPU QB's hang onto the ball. I've even had them scramble when I get close, only to get stuffed anyway. It feels so much more natural now. I haven't seen a lame duck in 4 hours of play.

Also auto replays show up much more on 1st down passes and long runs. Still not enough on TD's for me. I've seen them twice out of perhaps 10 TD's, including long yardage ones.

The more I play the more I'm enjoying it, its definitely a nice patch. (Purely in game play terms, I'm covering my ears and singing as loud as I can to ignore the apparent statistical calamity.)

I don't see any better blocking. I played for an hour, went to work out and have played for another hour. When you say better blocking give a scenario. I still see OLB's/DE's always collapse the edge on stretches. I still see max protect breaking down in 3 seconds vs a 3 man rush. Not too sure what you guys are seeing.

I do see:

Flats played better
QB Draw Glitch is gone
HB Direct takes a step backwards and slows it down but I'm not going to comment on the effectiveness or non-effectiveness of the play with league guys hovering around LOL.

I'll play more after work.

Some people say stuff is fixed. Some people say nothing is fixed.

Which is it? I am work and cannot see for myself. Its gonna be a long afternoon.
