Wow. That's pretty definitive stuff AA, there's no way that play could have happened pre-patch.

Hey JayMO, I saw more like 5-7 yards of difference on kick returns. I'm not sure what is going on there.

I think we will find that over the course of an entire season, this patch has dramatically improved the game. The slider people are happy, because the game is playing much much better. Perhaps you had a couple of weird games.

Also, you must be on the west coast or stayed up really really late, because the patch was supposed to come out around 5 a.m. ET. Are you sure you had the right patch?

Rudy, i get what you're saying, but i dont want to keep changing sliders for every team i play. I want to set some tough, but fair sliders and play (ala years past), not feel like i have to go in every week and change it.

(Not trying to stick it to you, just pointing that out)

Do the custom stadium sounds work in away games now?

If so what changes do I need to make?

stewaat, kodiak, Skyboxer and I have been slider testing all morning.

The post patch OS Legends Sliders have been posted in the slider thread if you want to give them a whirl.

I'm pretty darn happy with them now. There are some definite improvements by EA in the game post patch. Kudos.

I don't change sliders for each team. My slider set is the same no matter who I play. I was just changing the human sliders for RBA and RBL every time the cpu got the ball to actually have a human and cpu slider set. With the patch, I won't have to do that ever again.

You are dead wrong. Break block affects both the DL ability to break a block in pass rush situations AND run defense situations. If the cpu pass block is at 0 and human break block at 100, the cpu is at a -100 relative pass block score. If CPU run block was at 100, the cpu run block is at 0 for a relative score. Break block affects both and always has.

Just played one half of 5 min qtrs on AA . Me using USC vs Notre Dame. I thought it played awesome!! Im very surprised. I sacked the QB 4 times in 1 half! No kick return went past the 30 yd line. I even saw a pass to the HB in the flat wide open and get this..............he turned upfield!! The only thing I saw that was still in effect is Robo QB for both teams. Though, when i have time I'm sure sliders will help that. I was like 7-10 and the cpu was 9-12. No INTs for both. But even with those cpu numbers, I was winning 17-0. Thats about right. Also dont know if it was just ND or what, but they fake punted twice out of the 3 times they punted. The one that they did punt, they shanked it out of bounds, so I couldnt test the long punt returns. Overall, Im very impressed and instantly was having more fun than Madden 09

Are you guys feeling like its possible to stop the CPU on defense now (passing)?

And where the heck are cb and ODogg?
