Re: DB'S Stat Accurate Sliders (Slow game Speed)
Right I finally dloaded the patch#2, and have played some games.
Firstly, I'm really at a loss to say exactly what's changed. OK. I hadn't played Madden in a while, but everything seemed almost exactly the same, as far as gameplay.
I have severe doubts that the Ds really play any better. They may react a little quicker to outside runs, but then the Oline seems to block a little better on outside runs. They may cover the flats a bit better, but then I never really threw (in a cheesy way) to them beforehand. Pursuit angles seem overall a little better, but not really game alteringly.
I really don't see the ai D covering better in any way shape or form. In fact, I'm still hitting far too many passes for my liking.
The ai QB is still virtually untouchable (1 sack in 16 qrts testing)
BUT, it's soo difficult to tell, on only half a dozen half-games. For instance, I'm back to testing SD VS NYJ, and with exactly the same test parameters, you get such different results.
The first one, it was 27-24 to me at the half, both Qbs over 200 yds passing, an offensive shootout. Then the next game, I was trailing 10-3 at the half, with no O for either team to speak of (the TD off a muffed punt)..
The one after that, was great fun, and I tweaked out a 13-10 victory (game completed).
-----------------------
So to cut a long story shorter, at the moment, the only things that slightly concern me, are the ai maybe not running well enough, and the human passing game being a little strong. But on the second item, I'm possibly judging with a bias of watching the Jets RL horrific passing attack week in and week out. And you have to remember this is still a game
-----------------------------------
Will keep testing and let you know....back to see my folks in a couple of days for a few days though (this patch was just too late
)...

-no I don't actually believe that's true either
