I agree 100%. I'm a hardcore NCAA guy, but this game gets worse every patch that is released. I don't understand why they can't release a game and live with the results.

Because of places like OS.

I am so sick of superlinebackers and cornerbacks that cover two receivers at the same time

What do you mean here? Because I'm a former football player and a current football coach and a cornerback can cover 2 wrs at a time. Not in man coverage of course, but in zone. For example, in cover 3 if a cover has 2 wrs running verticals, he can cover them. What he does is split the difference between them (run in-between WRS) and he's able to cover both of them.

I think he means corners in man coverage who break off their man coverage the second the ball is in the air, despite not being able to see the ball or the intended receiver. They just "know" where the ball is.

It is a pretty significant problem on crossing routes, combo routes (post/corner combos) and vertical routes that are close together. I notice it a ton lately now that I switched to air raid. I ran a mesh concept last night against man to man coverage, as the WR's crossed, I threw to the backside mesh WR and the DB on the strong side mesh WR knocked it down despite running the opposite direction. He stopped, turned and slapped it away despite being able to see the pass or the receiver.

I see this more in verticals though, where you'll throw one of the vertical routes and while the ball is in the air, the DB on the other vertical will leave his guy and play the ball despite not being able to see it.

Not sure if it is getting worse for me, but definitely more and more frustrating knowing it is time to tweak sliders again every few weeks. Knowing a 4th patch is on the way i'm considering whether I should keep tweaking or just shelve the game till the final patch or tuner is released.

I didn't want to download this latest one, but in order to upload my highlights I was forced to. Really wish there was a way to pick and choose the patches and tuners we want or at least an option available to reinstall the previous version.

This explains it perfectly.

Its not just DB's by the way. Once you throw the ball, everyone on the D starts running to it, whether they saw the ball thrown or not. The problem is that the offensive players don't do the same thing. There's a significant lag between the time the ball is thrown to the time the receivers react and start trying to block people. Whereas the D magically knows where the ball is the second it goes out of the QB's hands.
