    Increase in AI kick return ability having them start at the 30 almost every time now.

    The replays still get cut off.

    Quite the impressive screw up.
    Offensive players playing defense was already happening before the patch,and the replay issue was not supposed to be fixed with this patch.

        -Run Blocking is more effective, which makes running too easy, which forces you to lower RUN BLK sliders. Little net gain on that improvement.

        -Run blocking improvement makes outside runs that were too difficult now too easy. No net improvement there either.

        -Would have been nice if they thoroughly explained what "tuned slider effectiveness" means. Is every slider more sensitive?

        -Still having trouble seeing any improvement to man coverage. And even if there is some improvement, what good is it when everything about how DBs work in the game is wrong? I'm sick of seeing DBs both deflect a pass and then jump onto the shoulders of the WR in the same second. Has anyone seen this happen in the NFL? How often do you see receivers catch a pass, get hit, and spin around in the air? It's still far too aggressive to be realistic.

        To borrow from The Simpsons, why make 32 flavors when you can't get vanilla right?

          Pursuit angles on defense is still absolutely atrocious.

          Toe drag catch logic is not as good as I thought.

            I just downloaded the 'patch' last night and I can say I was kinda happy with some of the changes, but my god...I played the Rams with the vikings and Marc Bulger tore me up for 380 some yards, 240+ of that going to Donnie Avery...on 7 catches. I know Cedric Griffin is not exactly a speedster and is known to get beat, but WOW. At least 4 of his catches were for over 50 yards. I run alot of zone D, and it was like my guys didn't have a clue...at least 2 of his 80+ bombs were ones where he was COMPLETELY uncovered. Weak. His 25 yarder was due to me running an all out blitz, so that was cool, but c'mon! Granted it was just one game, but the Rams never seemed to even attempt to run the ball. I ended up losing an OT game on a fumble by Chester Taylor and the ensuing field goal(which made the game fun anyways) but I will grow weary of this crap if it happens with any regularity. Anyone else see anything like this?

              LBZ do you still have any contact with Ian and crew? There are 3 main things I think have to be adressed next patch.

              1. Pursuit angles
              2. Covering the flats (Also, man-align is completely broken which is a contributing factor to this)
              3. D-backs back pedaling 30 yards and staying right with the WR. (Along with this I think safeties react way to quickly. If you throw a deep pass they can literally get all the way across the field while the ball is in the air to make a play on the ball)

                Man I just give up and will just play it with whatever they do with it.

                There is just too much that needs to be addressed. Might as well just accept this as it is and whatever the next patch addresses might as well just accept the game for the rest of the year as whatever it is at that point.

                  I actually like this. That's more true to real life.

                    Has anyone noticed if you're on D and the offense has a break away play, if you switch defenders, there is some sort of hitch and it slows you down, even if you hold speed burst.

                      Here's to hoping the following is fixed for patch 2:

                      -Offline franchise stats

                      -Injured reserve actually freeing up a roster spot

                      -Backup RB's not sitting the entire 4th quarter

                      I LOVED seeing an unsportsmanlike penalty after one of my players was tackled out of bounds late! Nice touch!

                      Great game, but still some show-stoppers out there that need fixin'.

                        Yes, I have also noticed when I have an offensive break away run my player runs very jittery. The D always catches me from behind, and thats with guys like Chris Johnson, Adrian Peterson, and Jones-Drew. WTH?

                          As always with Madden, they are a lot of new problems with the patch that didn't happen before.

                          -For instance, the ticker shows wrong facts for teams now.

                          -Sometimes the refs rule an incomplete pass a catch when it was a drop or clearly out of bounds, but luckily the game doesn't actually rule it that way.

                          -The WR STILL don't try and actually stay in bounds when they catch the ball, it seems the patch just increased the amount of times they do the cut scene with the refs making the call, which is wrong half the time.

                          -A LOT more holding penalties on kick off returns.

                          -Kick off returns are MUCH easier now, I always can get past the 30 yard line on kick offs or a TD about every other game now.

                          Some good things:
                          -The run game is a little better.

                          -I love the new AFL uniforms, but I guess thats not patch related.

                          -And I don't see as many pick sixes.

                            Well it must've been made a lot worse by the patch then because I never even noticed it before. Guess I should check my franchise stats,one of them must've got in on a tackle or something. (I'm in the playoffs now so it wouldn't have effected them) There's a few listed with tackles but they're special teams guys so I dunno. Though the bigger issue at hand is if it was there before the patch why wasn't it fixed?
