I'm noticing this too... Especially with the slot receiver essentially being ignored by the AI...

If you have a post pattern called with a slot receiver it's uh... Pretty much money...

Even without the blitz it seems to work too well.

Since patch two the only complaint I have is that about twice a game my defensive backs will go to swat a pass they should easily get and they will miss. Usually turns into a TD for the cpu. Is it just me or is anyone else having this problem to?

Now that we have Dirty Uni's, the game has gone completely sour. I played last night and it was just boring. What did EA do?????

Where are the over thrown passes?

Backward Pump fakes = automatic TD?

The game feels soooo much like Madden, and that is not a good thing since you can complete passes while facing in the opposite direction in that game. Just glad you can't break a million tackles tho.

The number one thing I want back is the overthrown passes, that alone made the game feel authentic.

If you're doing an offline dynasty, you can change the tendencies of the teams...there's a great thread about coaching sliders...they work in the sliders forum.

You can chanage the aggressiveness as per their real life tendencies. Air Force for example runs 85% of the time, and blitzes 25% of the time...you can change that, and do that for every team in the game in your dynasty...someone has a spreadsheet in the thread that actually breaks down what the run/pass slider should be and the aggressiveness on D.

I played 3 games in my dynasty, and I've seen 15 1 man blitzes, 6 2 man blitzes, and 2 all out blitzes in 3 games...so the slider does work.

change the QB Accuracy slider...I'm playing with 10 (some play with it at 5)...and I'm seeing poorly thrown balls by me...and the CPU missed a WIDE WIDE Open WR who beat my press coverage by 20 yards.

i still have not seen dirty uniforms in a brand new offline dynasty. am i missing something? does it have to be raining? i played a game in the snow and everything was pristine. does the field type matter? so if i'm playing on outdoor turf, will they not get dirty regardless of the weather?

From what I've read yes. You need to be playing on real grass and in bad weather.

Things that got adjusted by the patch on All American that might need tweaking if you want to bring the game back to the way it played (my opinion of course).

1. I think the human pass rush got a boost in the patch. I'm toning it down slightly.
2. I think both human and cpu rushing games got downgraded due to better pursuit. I think we'll definitely have to boost cpu run block.
3. I haven't seen a big difference in QB accuracy. I still see bad throws and have not seen robo QB at all.
4. I think pass coverage is looser, specifically man to man coverage, post patch. I actually like it like this.
5. I haven't seen a difference in WR catching or INTs. I still see leaping LBs so I really don't notice much difference in the big guys toned down but it's not terrible either. Not touching this area.
6. I think kickers got a good boost all around in power and accuracy. I'd suggest knocking down sliders at least one notch in all categories to balance it out. It's hard to test because practice conditions don't carry over perfectly to the game but it's something I've noticed while playing in my dynasty.
