Anybody else slightly SCARED about the patch?

What's there to be scared of? Is it gonna make the game worse? Exactly.

I dont use sliders so i dont care about that 1 but as the topic mentions this patch does scare me. Im afraid its going to make this game crazy easy cuz every1 is bitching. Kick Coverage is going to be better GREAT love it. Im afraid that the D-Line pressure is going to be '08 and o look the qb threw 2 passes all game and got sacked 31 times. People are so use to 8 picks a game and 10 sacks. If the speed up the LB it would be ok but if it is like '08 and he jumps every pass over the middle its gunna suck real bad.

People have been complaining so much about ROBO QB. Guys, he's not really a robo qb. The people in the flats and over the middle are just so wide open. The CPU QB isn't really that good. If you play D to cover the spots that ROBO qb burns you, he won't burn you. I'm actually enjoying the CPU passing game quite a bit. That's what I'm scared about. If they bring back LB speed, what is going to happen to INT's? I'm very very scared that this game is going to go back to interception-fest 06,07,08 etc. How exactly are they going to fix the 'ROBO-QB' problem, which is really more of a problem of people not adapting to the CPU's method, which is, hit the wide-open guy in the flat? I'm afraid they will over-compensate and break the game for me. I'm afraid they will make the CB's too good, when actually I think right now they play pretty well (except on curl routes). By making the pass rush better and the LB's faster, this game could get broken for me, and its a shame because other than the speed difference that bothers me, I like the way it FEELS. I don't want the game to revert back to old tendencies, I want it to remain mostly the same but with the players on even playing fields. I'm just worried that evening them up will bring us back to the same old thing...leading the nation in INT's every single year even with INT on 0 and playing single man-to-man on every play.

Put the RBA slider at or around 35 and the LB's will not seem as slow.

The only things I care about are 1) kickoff coverage 2) sliders & 3) rosters.

Other than that, I don't expect them to "fix" anything...at least not until 2010.

Where is the info on patch3? This game is unplayable without a pass rush.

The fixed sliders should help us tweak the pass rush to our liking by changing cpu pass block.

Sliders mean nothing to folks that only play online.

Where is the info on patch3? The game is unplayable without a defensive pass rush.

There is no patch 3, end of story. And even if they decided to pony up and pay the $, it would be out in Dec or January as they ahve to find the issues they want to fix, test them, fix them, test them, go through QC< test them again, then submit it. Thats bout 3 months of lead time
