I agree. Working sliders and a fixed return game will make this game truly great for me. For those that think this game is too broken to enjoy right now, it doubtful the patch will do enough to make them happy.

I'm not betting the farm on this one.

If you alter the Human sliders right now, they have an equal effect on the CPU and Human's play-style. So a slider with 0 pass blocking and 100 defensive awareness would lead one to believe that the issue should be addressable NOW, even with the sliders broken... and it is not.

Although I do agree that those looking for this patch to alleviate many of the core gameplay issues are possibly setting themselves up for another disappointment.

I agree. I can't wait for the patch to come out so this game is a bit more playable. However, until EA rethinks the way they do sliders, especially for this installment, I don't think its going to have that big of an effect on the game. Like you guys have said, the sliders work but they affect CPU and Human. But still Break Block at 100 still has zero effect on the pass rush. Until something like 0 Break Block means NO pressure, and 100 Break Block means DLs cutting through the OL like a hot knife through butter, it won't matter. The magnitude of the sliders has to change IMO. Not the slight, incremental differences you can barely notice like they are now.

I think sliders will help, but not completely fix the issues, but then again, we dont know what is being patched (hint hint Adam)

[callmetaternuts]

Just a nice little "bump" so Adam can find this and tell us what will be in patch since it was ESTIMATED to be finalized on the 1st (Friday). We're ready to be impressed Adam!!

And if you think its rough for you (this is to Adam) take a gander at the Madden forums.....all hell broke loose over there last night
