It is fair to say that they are nonexistent for me, because they are nonexistent for me. That's exactly what I meant by "results are inconsistent" - some people see many replays, some don't.

No problem, thought you meant something else.

I've seen replays on advanced on good runs, good passes and after TD's. The next game, the replays after TD's are not played.

For me, though, replays are shown more frequently after patch two. Others may not see the same frequency with replays that I do during the game.

And that's what puzzles me. Why do some people see it and other don't? Surely there has to be some unifying factor that makes a difference. I can't imagine this wide spread of varying results.

Maybe we could make a list of factors that might have something to do with, and see how the people on both sides match up. Maybe that way, we can determine what causes the inconsistency.

For instance, something like this:

First, please post whether you are seeing replays after TDs. If you are, how frequently?

Next please answer the following:

Chew Clock On?

Qtr length?

Difficulty level?

etc. etc.

For someone who plays offline franchise only, what is you guys' consensus on the patch?

Are the changes to gameplay major enough to warrant the horrible stats?

I am pretty happy with the game after patch #1 and as I understand it, if I download #2 and do not like it, I cannot go back to patch #1.

What is with the pre-determined outcomes of some plays?

Playing on All-Pro with rewinds on against another human player, I have seen the outcome of two different plays end in the exact same result.

One play was a running play. HB gets hit 3 yards past the line of scrimmage, 6 defenders converge and the HB works his way out of the gang tackle and runs in for the score. I rewind the play (being on D), and the EXACT same gang tackle and breakaway.

Another example. I'm on O this time, I do a PA Boot and throw to WR2 crossing the field, and outrun the D. D chooses to rewind, and the EXACT same result.

The second example is forgivable as the WR did have a step. The first example was BS.

It seems like catches near the sideline are broken too, now if you catch near the sideline and you get 4 feet in, they rule it incomplete and if it's less than 2 minutes, they won't review.

The biggest problem for me is inconsistency in the game. One time I'll see 3 replays during a drive but not for the TD, other times I don't see any at all. Some times my blockers do okay but more than not they get lost and don't block anyone. It's just frustrating that a simple thing as replays after TD's is not automatic with an option to turn them off.

yea its def inconsistent, but i do see way more overall than before the patch, which was basically 1-2 a game. i switched it back to advance playcalling just to see the new replay frequency, but it wasnt even enough to warrant switching back for since the TD replays dont happen enough for me. its gonna stay on hardcore playcalling for me. i replay good plays on my own anyway.

other than that, i like the patch minus the screwy hb stats. game plays even tighter to me, protak seems a lil smoother to engage, and the cpu qb's tend to play a lil smarter since theyre not throwing the picks to get outta sacks anymore. i like how now they will take off and get 1st downs if the field is open in front of em or lay down and take the sack if theyre smothered.
