my guess is that its plugged into all cpu plays. I agree its going to get annoying on extra points.

started up new franchise with the jaguars froze in 1st quarter with about 2 minutes left ugh. field looks great. players no longer run out of bounds thank god. seems that the cpu get's more pressure. running game seems about the same. i have no problems getting big yards running. cpu seems to play the passing game alot better. cpu still play calls horrible on offense and they can't punt well or even kick field goals decently

Reading this thread is reassuring. I got up early this morning so I could download and play half a game before heading out to work. I played the first half of Bears vs. Redskins in a play now game. The one thing I was watching for was penalties being increased so I left my sliders at all 100, pre-patch settings. The Redskins (CPU) had 14 penalties in the first half, the Bears (me) had a grand total of 1. I even tried faking the snap while on offense ten times in succession to see if I could get anyone to jump and both the offense and defense just sat there like statutes. Hopefully this was a complete anomaly that I will never experience again.

On a positive note the CPU hit the FB on the sideline on a dump off and he proceeded up the sideline and not out of bounds. That was a joy to see.

Going to be a long day at work reading all the impressions, keep them coming.

about to get the patch let me ask this, if i'm still in year one and haven't had freezing isssues should i be able to continue on now with the patch and be good or will they still occur in year 2? cuz right now i'm in the NFC title game.

most likely you'll have to restart your franchise. from what i've been hearing if your previous save is freezing prior to patch 2 and you install patch 2 and then load your franchise it will freeze again.

iirc in-game freezing was not fixed...

but the issues during franshise mode were...

thats how i see it... & thats fine with me... id rather lose progress on one game during a freeze than an enitre franshise not continuing during a feeze...
