I have all the online updates and I still get the super jumps from LB's at least (this is just an estimate as I have no documented data to support this) once every two games.
Now I didn't play the game much when it first came out (got it about week 2 or 3 of the NFL season), so perhaps it has improved since it originally was released.
Edit: Didn't realize what you quoted from me. The offense is overpowered still in my opinion (though it is much better than years past). From my experience: The best offensive players > than the best defensive players. I assume this is due to the fact that EA is targeting people who want to score a lot of points and not play games that end up 6-3.
