      Well, I wouldn't say Robo QB is dead, but this was certainly a different result for a CPU QB. Default All-Pro, Vikes (random opponent) at Cowboys - sorry, no field deg on the turf :

      T. Jackson 20-30, 163 Yds, 80.3 Rating, Sacked 4 times.

      There's something different. Maybe it's that thing about the Cover 3 they said they fixed, because I ran a lot of it in this game. I was able to get heavy pressure a few times, and he was either forced to scramble away or just take the sack.

      Then again, I was even worse with Romo. 15-25, 110 Yds, 1 INT. Let's get this out of the way - I suck, and my own QB stats shouldn't have any bearing on what people think of this patch.

      Running game was weak on both sides, but again this was all-pro default, and on top of that there just wasn't a whole lot of attempts. Mostly because of a ton of 1st and long yardage caused by.....

      PENALTIES. Hoo boy, I don't think I'll be playing with everything maxed anymore. 3 false starts, 1 clip, a facemask and EIGHT holding calls. Some of them snuffed out really good runs on both sides. I'll be making several adjustments to those for the next game. We wanted them to have more effect, and they certainly do.

      Play totals, as mentioned before, came out low on 10 minutes - 91 total plays from scrimmage. I think 11 or 12 will be just perfect. Keep in mind YMMV if you blow through the play selection and snap when you hit the line - I was playing the same style that the CPU does.

      All in all, a very enjoyable game that went right down to the final minute. I managed to keep the Vikes out of field goal range that would have tied the game, for a 6-3 victory. That's right - no touchdowns. Lots of defense, and not really enough plays to generate complete stat lines.
      I don't know if you have tried this , but I saw somewhere on here someone sugested moving into slider up towards 25 or 28 instead of o. I did this and it does seem to help. cpu quarterbacks are completing anywhere from 58 to 69% against me, and I seem to be getting more pressure and sacks on qb because the cpu holds ball a little longer. It seems to help.

        Alright friends...

        Season 3 is complete, with no freezing. Again, I used Imported Draft Classes, and did no training or player moves of my own...just a straight sim. I am going to do 2 more seasons of simming straight through, and if they don't freeze or anything...I am going to start my actual franchise (for the first time in well over a year).

        If these things that were stated to be fixed in this patch, are truely fixed...then we've gotten somewhere for once. Hopefully, this isn't a yearly process...

              The snap delay is the juice for me in this patch. Why even have defensive adjustments when there is no time to make them?

                reboot your modem when you plug the ethernet cable in, should fix the problem

                  Yup. I too would pay for CPU sliders and accelerated clock.

                  I just wonder what they were thinking when they took CPU sliders away this year?

                      does the field degrade better in the snow or no changes there?

                      pics?

                        Alright, I successfully simmed through Season #5 with no freezing issues whatsoever. I will start a franchise where I actually start playing through some aspects of the mode, and let you guys know...as I know...of any freezes or errors that I may encounter.

                          Does it happen even if it's not raining?

                            Anyone noticing field degradation on turf fields?

                              there was a guy that was claiming to not see field degradation only to realize he was playing on a turf field. So I don't think it occurs thankfully.
                              I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

                              I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(
