yeah. I use those. Even though its created for the patches, it works well without the patches. Running is alot tougher to stop.


The most notable difference between patched vs non-patched is the CPU D. Alot of the complaints when the game came out was defenders cutting off the receivers and "knowing" the routes. I have only found this to be true if I am running the same play multiple times in the game within a short time span. No longer will you be able to throw a deep post over the middle 100% of the time and vice versa. Your cpu D should play alot better with coverage and the middle of the field shoudlnt be wide open 100% of the itme. Also, you can run zone D and IT WORKS!

ANother big thing is that the QB will actually scramble. If nothing is open, they will tuck the ball and run.

so you're saying the CPU D plays better pre-patch and the human D plays better pre-patch? I dont notice the middle of the field open 100% of the time. And I think my D plays much better, almost too good post-patch.

I play with the patches, the only thing that bugs me is the play action passing, DE's just eat this up. Zone coverages for hum. and cpu seem inconsistent , but nothing that I cant handle. How many have tried deleting the patches and if so what do you think?

you think the one coverages are worse with the patches than without them? i just dont see it

[soonermagic75]

Well I havent tried but I agree, I just dont see it either.

I like the default sliders pre-patch but there just seems to be too many FUMBLES, especially by the CPU. You guys having the same issue?

I'm thinking of going back to post-patch.

I think so. Post patch on deep posts or slants, its open almost 100% of the time for me and I am using Midd Tenn state in the second year of the dynasty. Pre patch, its open sometimes and if you call the slants or posts alot, the D will adjust and shut it down.

The one thing I am noticing is that the rush D is ALOT better post patch. Pre patch it seems that defenders will get lost and actually stop pursuit or run the other direction of the football......which is very frustrating.

The CPU QB actually scrambled before the patch? I don't remember seeing that, but if it's true I would consider deleting the patches.
