Once they switch to aggressive (which will be for almost the entire game after the 1st quarter), you can score a TD on every play. I don't know if EA doesn't know that this is causing the issue or if they are just too damn stubborn to fix it. IT IS THAT SIMPLE!

So the safety glitch is a playcalling/gameplan thing rather than a bug in and of itself? Has anyone tried it in practice mode or human-vs-human where you know which play and style the defense is running? If you audible the coverage to "pass" and this still happens, then yeah it's a bug.

My Impressions:

1. "No huddle" is an awful bug
2. There's also a formation depth issue, where all QBs show up on the Kickoff formations and you can't change Offensive formations.
3. Receivers still get hit in the back of the head with the football when the ball is thrown their way on short routes.
4. Nano-blitzing out of Nickel 1-5-5 Prowl has been fixed.
5. Don't really care about uniforms when gameplay still has major issues around defense and zone play. You're telling me that Alabama has 3 legitimate NFL prospects on their offensive line and they can't block a 3-man rush from Michigan out of their Dime 3-2-6 formation?
6. They fixed the bug where Denard Robinson gets hurt on nearly every online game...
7. On x360, still have the QUICK no huddle if you tap "Y" near the end of the play. You'll go into no huddle mode even though you didn't want to.

It's so frustrating that they fix a few issues but then create many more. That's the worst thing about it, how did they break the Formation Depth screen when it was never broken to begin with?

And let's face it. They're working on '2014 and this will be the last patch for this game. I know there were rumors with last year's version that there would be a late update but we never got anything but two fixes.

Maybe it's because I'm using an offensively inept team (Florida Gators) with a strong defense. Either way, it's not a big deal to me as I'd much rather see defensive games that can be adjusted through sliders than offensive heavy games that come from AI acting stupidly.

I had a lot of good first impressions of the patch, but my sliders were basically perfect for before patch play. Now I'm having to re-diagnose and I'm not sure if I like how my games play out at present.

That's the crappy thing about getting a patch so late--you already have your game set up and your expectations for how the game will play set.

What exactly was the "jump the snap" exploit? I've got a buddy of mine in an online dynasty and he's got 60 something sacks for the season with one player. I'm guessing he was using this "exploit" but I don't know what it is. Would it result in an exorbitant amount of sacks?

I played Notre Dame in a Dynasty game after this update. Towards the end of the game when they were trying to stop the clock, after a long pass, my linemen wouldn't get down field fast enough causing an offsides penalty. It happened twice in the 4th quarter. Very frustrating. I've never had this happen.

the patch automatically takes effect in online/offline dynasties you've already started, right?

I am very happy they fixed the custom stadium sounds so they are the right volume now HOWEVER, they broke something else with this patch that really sucks...

The bug with the no huddle offense is awful. I play with Oregon and it totally ruins the experience.
