    If so, im not going to waste my time simming anymore, and ill just sit and wait for the madden roster update on Thurs.
    Only my opinion, but EA did it to us again. This game as become very much unplayable to me. No D whatsoever. Just played NC State at Syracuse (56-21) I was State and threw for 521 yards a high for me on this years game.

    I was on default AA, so sliders might help, but the pass D is atrocious.

        In my opinion the changes to zone defense do not even out with the changes to the man defense. There has been very little defense in any game I have played thus far.

            I'm scared too, as there are no Division 2 teams in the game.

              I must truly have a different game than everyone else. Oh well. I'm liking the changes and haven't seen some mega shootout every time.

                Man I was loving the passing game at first. Overthrows, drops, and for the first time ever, a somewhat decent zone defense.

                Zone defense has almost always been bad in EA football titles. The defenders will always just go stand in one spot and never make a play on the ball. They would wait for the WR to catch the ball, then run after him.

                This year was ok at first, but if what you guys are saying is true, NCAA have been killed by patches yet another time.

                See this worries me. Because the Madden 1.03 update will have "gameplay balancing" and these kind of series of patches almost always make the game worse.

                  It's bad, but i'm sure sliders could make it a lot better. I haven't even begin to touch those. For what it's worth though i'm now mixing in zone plays with my defense.

                  Also, for the first time the CPU is throwing the long ball on me...but that could be because i'm getting beat one on one far more often.

                    Hardly any defense then with this patch?

                    Well, I will try this patch after it's released for the 360 but if it's as bad as they say (and I don't doubt everyone one here, just want to see for myself). If there isn't any more pass defense then I will clear my cache on my 360 delete all my files for this game, unplug my network card and strictly play it offine in Dynasty mode. I thought the game played very well before patch #2 so I will go back to an upatched version of the game.

                    I think I read where you can individually download the patches from some website. If that is true I will download the patch that came out on day one and just use that offline.

                        Oh yeah, about Robo QB. It's still there but it's better. QB's WILL hit open WR's, but I have seen some overthrows again which is nice. Even as a user i'm overthrowing some of my passes. I'm glad i'm seeing that again.

                          Really? I'm seeing it in full force. Every QB I play against has a completion % right around 80 until the 4th Qtr, when it drops due to desperation pass plays. Even then they almost always end up around 70 and most of the incomplete pass are swats or ducks caused by getting hit. I'm on AA with CPU Accuracy at 15.

                            I just simed one year and looked for progression on two teams,Alabama and Rutgers and did not see any changes during the season. If its there its hidden. Any thoughts?

                            Going to delete LTP and patch see what happens.

They had a few 1 star players who were rated higher than a lot of their 3 star guys. So I blieve that 1-2 star guys have better ratings, which still doesnt matter. But why are recruiting powerhouses like Ohio State, Texas, Florida, Oklahoma getting these guys???

                              Im kinda ticked at the fact that top level teams have 40s and 50s on their rosters. Florida had a 47 overall freshman LT. Oklahoma had a DT in the 40s.

                              Its still very bland. Teams like Arizona will never have any 90s on their roster in the future. Unless they jump out and get a 4 star recruit. Im thinking that recruits overalls have been dumbed down based on what team they sign with. Arizonas 3 stars were better than FAUs 3 stars. And some of the FAU guys were higher in the position ranking. Im simming some more to look.
                              If this true, where recruits are dumbed down depending on where they sign, I'm probably done with this game. Why would EA do that, horrible decision and logic if true.

                              Looking forward to your sim results man.

                                After playing more games, it appears that overblitzing is still an issue, but I've noticed fewer sell-out blitzes. The problem is, as others have mentioned, the zone D is just unreliable. The safeties in deep coverage drop back 100 yards and the rest of the guys in zone just kind of do whatever. This causes gaping holes of open field in between. Receivers still refuse to drop many balls when hit, but maybe I can fix that with the catch slider. The CPU running game is vastly improved, but passing is still too easy for both sides, which I guess is the silver lining, because I end up having competitive games that way.
