Also noticed this in my first 5 minutes playing a game with the Giants against the Jets.

Tuck couldn't sack Sanchez...

Did EA do anything besides make it worse? I was REALLY looking forward to this patch and now I don't feel like playing this game ever again.

I've never once said anything bad about EA on this board until now, this is just pitiful.

restarting chise is not required

anyone noticing any gameplay differences??

i'll start with one the stutter is gone!!

i dunno if its just because i havent played in a week or so but the game seems to be playing smoother!

and i dont know if its the blocking or what but i've actually been able to get some yards with addai which hardly ever happens.. hope this isnt just my imagination!! haha

but as soon as i have nothing but good things to say the ball just went thru my hands arms and then chest so the CPU could convert on a crucial 3rd down and now they are in field goal range..


anyway.. anyone else have any 1st impressions they would like to share??

I simmed a season quick, here some stats

Pass TDs- Peyton Manning 41
Rush Yds- Michael Turner 1,992
Rush TDs- Michael Turner 16
Receiving TDs- Vincent Jackson 15
Sacks- Jared Allen 21.5
Tackles- Bradie James 147, 54 assisted

The most sacks a 3-4 OLB had was 20.5 and that was Shaun Phillips. I wish I can answer questions about the flats/pursuit angles but I really haven't played enough games to see if they are fixed.

One LAST stats post before I go to sleep...

This time I just simmed to the second season of the Chise I just started.

Chris Johnson, Turner & Peterson all had a 2K+ rushing season.YPC were a bit more realistic this time around (No 7 YPC rushers, although there were 5 that had atleast 6 YPC)

Seems like every season atleast 3 rushers will have over 2,000 rushing yards....

Personally, I'd much rather have the old stats before the patch than this garbage.Either do it right or don't do it at all.

Well I think it depends on the QB rating. I just played against the Panthers as the Browns in my 2nd season. I traded for Vernon Gholston and turn him into a DE. It was him vs all-pro Jeff Otah on the right side and Gholston demolished him and got to Delhomme 8 times. I was manually rushing Gholston for 5 of the 8 sacks and the rest of them were AI-generated sacks. I bet you can't do this to Brady :P Delhomme was missing open WRs all game, and he stood in the pocket like an idiot.

I've come to realize that no matter how high you put the CPU pass blocking slider, you can still get to the QB easily with a swim move... Edge rushing is becoming less and less challenging
