Childish. Go to jail, straight to jail, do not pass go, do not collect 200 hundred dollars

1. why does the computer pick an engage 8 on every 3rd down it makes the passing game so easy all you have to do is hike the ball and throw it to the TE nobody covers him.
2. why does the computer pick all streaks so much on offense every time they do my coverage blankets the WRs and the QB just stands there watching until he gets sacked
3. Computer QB has no brains they thow into triple coverage on screens and curl routes that have no chance in hell of being completed. the only way to compensate is to turn INT slider below 20 (this happens with the best and worst QBs)
4. every time somebody throws an INT it shows a cut scene of the coach yelling at the O-Line
5. why no wildcat for Minnesota this takes away from having Percy Harvin
will any of this be fixed?

Questions

1) Can scrimmages be included in ONLINE FRANCHISE? I know our teams change because of trades and FA moves and such and there is no way of practicing with that team.

2) Can Speed options for Unranked and Online Franchise be included as a patch??

3) Can the zone depth be fixed? The current state has just about all zones playing at a depth which is to deep. Which then in turn makes flats, drags, slants etc to effective even with the correct defensive call.

What are your plans for speed options in online play?



What are your plans for addressing the PA QB Draw glitch?

Why were we lied to about team specific chants (J-E-T-S, etc) being in the game?

The information on the extra point show (stats, scores) and even some of the overlays disappear way too quick? Can they be made to stay on the screen a few seconds longer or where we would press A to forward through them when we are done reading.

Not enough stat overlays even with ALL banners on.

Can you put some old time stadiums in as DLC and allow us to play in them during Franchise mode? Or allow us to change/rebuild stadiums in Franchise without moving teams?

Can you also please do something about the CPU snapping Field Goals so quick? At least give us a second or two to try and block it.

[Awesome-wah]

Can we expect fixes in the AI or are those not feasible in the near future?

If we can, then will you fix the fact that LBs cover HBs 10 yards down field in man defense?

Will zone defenses be shortened? The middle is much too deep right now. Drags are easy completions.

Can we expect OL changes? Guards tend to completely miss assignments a lot of times.

Is online franchise set for the year or can we expect changes to it and the website?

Thank you.

Will the Wildcat passing plays be patched so the QB can actually scramble? Right now whenever you call a passing play from the Wildcat the QB can only shuffle in the pocket.

[TeamBuilder]

Will the QB freaking out and throwing quickly whenever there is a blitz or man coverage be patched?
