I think you may be giving EA a little more credit than they deserve regarding describing all their changes. It's not just limited to EA either, lots of developers don't outright admit crippling bugs they fixed. Just saying they "fixed gameplay issues" may not be satisfying, I agree.

Your not the only one! In my first game I kept seeing that too. On one of them the guy came through completely untouched, still didn't block it but took out my kicker hard and no flag was thrown lol.

Instead of taking it to Gamespot put it on ebay.

If you want to say EA doesn't care then fine (though I do think EA cares about the abundance of used copies on the market, which limit the lifetime sales of the game). But to say they aren't helping themselves by getting rid of a game they aren't enjoying by the off chance that EA creates a patch in a month or so doesn't seem right. They are helping themselves to gameplay that will satisfy them.

It's that kind of thinking that keeps the games from improving.

If people would just STOP BUYING the game instead of buying it, playing it for a month and not being satisfied and then going on their yearly EA rant right before trading it in, MAYBE something would change.

When people just keep blind buying the game year after year over and over and come away with the same complaints, why should they change anything?

You don't need to bother responding because 1) I can already imagine everything you're going to say, and 2) I won't be reading it anyway. EVERY SINGLE YEAR this **** happens and yet EVERY SINGLE YEAR the behavior is the same. Gee what a shock....the game doesn't change.

Hate to tell them, but we STILL get called Big Blue. Just finished a game and at the end called us "The Big Blue". Seems like they avoid saying the team name after we score and at halftime all he said was "And the score is, 21-14."

I don't know if I need to go out of the game and back in after the patch, but it still bugs the hell out of me we get called the wrong name. I'll play another game later, and see if it's any different.

To be fair, 90% of tech support forums blame the person's system when it comes to computer issues. Usually your drivers/OS/browser/router/port settings/plug ins are blamed before the developers even consider that maybe their software is bugged.

I don't blame them *too much* as it's damned near impossible to write software for every system on the planet. It's often easier to jsut get it to work on individual systems.

Also, i might agree if it weren't for a couple reasons: a) it worked fine before the patch and b) the menus have sound before i load the game. I was too frustrated last night to try a couple more things like maybe starting a new character and maybe deleting all saves and every other file from the game. But to act like "oh, it's just your system" is pretty thick of you to say, imo.

You lost all respect as soon as you said you work in Tech Support! lol
I can take nothing as truth from you as soon as i read that. lol
Sorry i have major issues with my Tech Support team at my work.

I've noticed they've fixed the super no-huddle and they are no more grey facemasks as far as I've seen on my PS3 version however my ESPN scoreboard disappears on me and the opening sequences freeze constantly in dynasty mode and I have to hit the x button to continue but it works in exhitbition mode with no issues...also when I pause the game the wrong team's logos show up on the screen...PS3 gameplay seems smoother but this version is still a little glitchy...

Hilarious considering 1. I've bought the game used the past 2 years and 2. I'm not trading it in.

This for sure I can confirm

# 111 EarvGotti @ 08/21/13 02:44 PM

No fix for the defense reset glitch that happens when the offense chooses a play after a no-huddle?????????

This. Lol. Our tech support at work seems to do nothing but dick things up even worse than they already are.

They usually have to make two or three trips into the office (we're part of a cluster of offices, with tech support being housed in the main offices 45 minutes away), first time to identify the issue and maybe "fix" it. Otherwise, identify the issue, order the necessary parts, then come back a second time, usually a week later, to "fix" it. Then another week later, when there are still issues or they proceeded to screw things up even worse, come back a third time and MAYBE actually fix the bloody issue.

So yeah, anyone saying they're with tech support right off the bat, completely loses all benefit of the doubt from me as to their competence when it comes to tech issues.

How the hell is this patch 496MB!?!? The size is enormous when considering the issues that it addressed.

Graphics files are pretty big. They addressed the facemask "issue".

Happens on PAT- my kicker is usually on the ground after being run into by his guard being pushed by the DT ..

Also seeing defenders get thru line on punts , namely ALL punt blocking formations

To avail, no blocks still lol

# 116 GisherJohn24 @ 08/21/13 03:14 PM

Anyone know if the 360 stadium sounds issue was patched for 360?

Did they do anything with the ATK glitch? I played a game and my two players with the most tackles and both had 8 tackles and no ATK. Also I had only 3 ATK all game. When looking at my opponents they had ATK and solo tackles pretty well spread out. Doesn't appear they fixed this issue.

# 119 LionsFanNJ @ 08/21/13 04:02 PM

I don't care what anyone else sees. After playing a bit its obvious to me they did some slight tweaks like defenders being aware of receivers in their zones and reaction time. Blown coverages pop up every now and again but I'll deal with it seeing as I'm not getting shootouts now and qbs average around 60% now.

This is all settings default AA. So I'm fine with this.

# 120 jwilphl @ 08/21/13 04:21 PM

No gameplay fixes, how unfortunate. The AI DBs are fine as they stick to my receivers like white on rice while my DBs are as inept as ever. And this was playing against Miami (OH), I can only imagine what would have happened against a better team. That needs addressed.

The glitch (PS3) after a TD is scored and the camera is stuck on the ball or the player who scored is still present. It has been like that since the demo.

User AI blocking needs a lot of help too. My teammates constantly just run by guys without ever engaging, resulting in me losing 5 yards each time.
