Assume you have the patch...howd that effect other aspects?

EDIT: They didn't already change the controlling other players issue did they?

I sim kicks and dive if i get int to stop to many td returns. Gives the game a harder edge not to score 7-14 pts on ints every game.

Any impressions on the patch for Coach Mode?

Did they fix controlling the kicks?

I got this game to play coach mode but it's become a coaster because:

1) No CPU running game
2) Pick 6's
3) Too few sacks

How much (if at all) are those issues addressed in this patch?

I really want to play this game.

With regards to the cpu running game, I started a coach mode franchise with the Steelers, and was a little concerned when every time i ran an outside handoff, Willie Parker would do a spin move as soon as he got handed the ball, even when there were no defenders bearing down on him! Needless to say he kept getting tackled for a loss, so i've resorted to having to do the running myself, which I find negates the whole point of playing coach mode.

Also why the hell do we have to do the kicking manually? When using the broadcast cam, I have no idea where i'm kicking it on long range field goals. :|

Weird glitch...doesn't seem like others have run into that.

And yet ANOTHER reason to take away manual FGs/Kickoffs etc. Just stupid that they changed that from the way they have it.

PLEASE ADDRESS THIS IN THE NEXT PATCH EA! There's a market for it...

I'm incredibly disappointed with EA for calling it "coach mode". They have the same mode in NCAA and it's appropriately called "Auto Pass" cause that's all it is.

As an Eagles fan, I chuckle at the thought of Andy Reid kicking field goals.

You think there's any chance they make this change for patch 2?
