For those that have the patch, has anything changed when you are on offense playing against the CPU? Is there an influx of ridiculousness, with the CPU line instantly destroying your o-line and blowing up running plays in the backfield?

I thought the CPU's defense was fine... too fine, in fact, when it came to defending the run. It was my user defense that seemed a step slow and needed the tuning.

In NCAA, the run blocking feels more real. Guys get hat on hat, and if a DT beats my man, it was with realistic momentum, a rip or a swim that took time. In Madden there's the instant, split-second whiff by my linemen that I can't strategize to stop with snap count or anything.
