As for Dynasty Mode, this patch hasn't changed anything defense wise, the defense is still a hollow shell of what it used to be in prior versions. The pursuit angles are still bad. The defensive line barely gets any penetration on Jump Snaps and blitz packages and corners are still giving it up on 3rd down. This is as good as they say it's gonna get people and that's just bad. I see many are waxing poetic on this patch and that's fine but I'm just not seeing any difference where the defense is concerned. The Defense in this game plays only what the CPU allows and even when I control a defensive player, they are so unresponsive on knockdowns and clumsy that it's a joke.

I have to say it but Madden this year is way better and more responsive. At least the defense plays smarter and does zone coverage much better. This game despises zone coverage.
