    Great article as always.

    I'd add the issue with user QB in coach mode sometimes not reacting to pass rush to the list of things that need some attention.

      Was really hoping to start my Wake dynasty with this patch but, that's going to be on hold. Also I've noticed that even with the illegal man downfield penalty turned 'off' I'm still getting called for them?

        Did the issue with the entire line moving at the same time on punts and field goals/xp’s just crop up after the patch? I don’t remember seeing it before.

          It appears this way. Let's stop the defenders from running into the kicker. I know, we can make them do a little dance... totally in sync mind you.

            Weird… I finished my first season and didn’t see the roughing kicker/punter once except when I did it on purpose.

              It was supposed to have been fixed but I had it happen and turned that penalty off.

                Haha really? That's bizarre. I will say I've only messed around with Wake in practice mode after seeing the penalties during real games (and I could never in good faith turn the penalty off because the sim bones in my body won't allow it) and there's obviously no penalties in practice mode.

                  I'm seeing the scoreboard disappearing with "Jumping ahead" too in Super Sim.

                    1. Replays are now clipping badly at some point in the game. It just starts and then stops but this is post patch.

                    2. OSD of statistic milestones don’t show the player name and class anymore.
                    Blank post patch

                    3. Clipping at various times on hit stick tackles launching guys thru bodies.

                    Just a lot of instability this way too large and rushed out update has caused.

                    Very frustrating and unfortunate.

                    They have to patch a patch and so the vicious and typical patching merry go round begins in earnest and it is maddening. This is what ruins their games every cycle every year. Breaking tons of things that worked perfectly fine at launch. Undoing years of work in an instant.

                    Gameplay has definitely gotten even better but all the visual bugs, instability bugs are unreal this has caused. I really hope this next update in the end of August fixes the ridiculous LOS dance they are doing on FG/punts along with the replay clipping and OSD bugs now.

                    And for the love of God and all that is holy:

                    TAP/TAP needs to stick inside dynasty mode!!!!!!

                      Not sure if this is in Dynasty as I was waiting for this patch, and now I may wait a bit longer (but with Madden releasing today for early access, I'm not sure I'll even start one..lol)...but since the patch I have been playing nothing but CUT, and I noticed right away my TE now has a baby blue shoe on his right foot..but it's only seen when getting ready to snap the ball, not during cutscenes.

                      I guess not a major deal?..but in the grand scheme of things how does this possibly happen...lol

                          The patch also broke VT’s entrance. After the first couple seconds the camera just points at a random part of the field instead of fans and the team.

                            This. I came here to see if anyone was reporting this bug. Before the patch, I was able to get some field goal blocks and XP blocks with what seemed like a fair ratio. Now, given the entire line’s pirouetting and plieing before the snap, it’s impossible.

                            Serious question: is there a way to remove a patch? I went out-of-town and returned to find this update only to discover that the gameplay is worse. Granted, I haven’t done a dynasty yet so I cannot speak to the fixes there.

                            The game just does not feel as smooth or fluid as it did pre-patch. *Sigh*

                            As one user put it, here comes the vicious cycle of patching patches.

                              Very disappointing release by EA. (I know, how many thousands of times has that been said by everyone?)

                              But seriously, they announced this game in 2021 so they've had 3 years to develop a new game with the benefit of having the annual Madden platform available.

                              Not saying Madden is perfect but much of this game is very similar (recruiting) to the old '14 system, and yet it's worse, with a myriad of bugs that didn't exist in '14.

                              The major gameplay tweaks in the first release. Did they bother to do ANY beta testing before release?

                              A major letdown thus far considering most looked forward to this game for 10 years now.

                              It should be better than this. Significantly better.
