Wait is this last years update ? I feel like the same issues were fixed this time last year.

I wonder if this will bring back a semblance of CPU running game on all-pro and get rid of the dropback sacks Humans are getting versus the CPU.

CPU QB play has regressed from early on mainly with pocket passers.

I try to stay on OOB but even when I check not to auto download updates my PS4 still does it anyway and I can't take the thing offline because it's our media center for Netflix, Disney+, etc. Kind of stinks.

No mention of fixing the QB drop back sack bug? Where they just keep backing up and taking huge sacks...how can they not address that! That’s the one thing that has ruined the game for me. Hopefully they just forgot to mention it, maybe wishful thinking...I’m sure if it was a MUT issue It would have been addressed...

On the Madden 21 Ratings website (https://www.ea.com/games/madden-nfl/...player-ratings) they have suddenly added and highlighted a HAIR rating, which gives Mahomes 100 and everyone else 0. So the obvious reason for this patch is to include some kind of ridiculous Head and Shoulders cross-promotion.

Bold prediction - this patch is going to make people perceive the QB drop back thing as being even worse, because it improves defense (the zone coverage improvements). I feel like the drop back thing happens when the AI QB has no one to throw to, so this is going to result in more coverage of WR's, which will in turn make those same QB's hold the ball even more often. I do think the zone coverage fixes are necessary, I just think that this is going to be an unfortunate side effect of it.

We'll see.

I don’t understand what is so hard about the QBs throwing it away like you see every Sunday when guys are covered Frustrating but predictable I think your likely right.

I also feel like it's a secondary effect of some particular slider, setting, or trait-editing approach.

Nearly everybody I've seen report it is somebody that often posts about frequent slider adjustments, often as they chase ever-increasing levels of stat accuracy (many times trying to get one specific stat "right"). Meanwhile, most people who aren't experiencing it play with sliders at or very close to default.

A patch that improves coverage will have the people who address everything that doesn't match their expectations with slider adjustments adjusting more, potentially making the issue worse.
