Think of it this way. Even if the RB stats are way out of wack (the ypc is way high, but total yards are only a little too high in most seasons), at least passing yards, rushing td's, passing td's, receptions, receiving yards and sacks are all better. So if the stat thing is the big issue, you have to decide which is worse.
And by the way, if you don't get the second patch, you can no longer play online, get updated rosters, etc.
