What's the point of watching CPU vs. CPU games with the broadcast cam? Are you telling me that people watch the computer play rather than play themselves?

lol. i kind of wish they addressed more pressing gameplay issues and then added this for patch 2 to be honest...

Ok, this patch has improved the quality of this game by a pretty good margin. The fatigue is the most notable thing for me, as I ran the ball down the Lions throats and watched as their players labored to fight off blocks, make sound tackles, and keep up with receivers on PA passes. On defense, I had to rotate d-lineman more than before due to them getting fatigue. This may be the most welcomed addition via the patch for me.

Also, it could just be a fluke, but through one half of football, I haven't seen the cpu bring all out blitzes that leave the middle of the field wide open. Yes, they have brought blitzes, but they haven't emptied the middle of the field. Again, I only played on half, but it was something that happened pretty frequently before. Maybe the better man coverage recognition fix in the patch, help eliminate/reduce this problem.

And thank goodness, I can now kick field goals without fear of being called for holding. 12pts via field goal in the 1st half, and none were brought back due to holding.

Some people like coach mode. I'd love to see you take that argument to the Fire Pro Wrestling community. Those guys create thousands of create a wrestlers just to do CPU vs CPU matches against each other instead of playing it.

Alot of people will just have to change this aspect of their offensive scheme.

i totally understand where u comming from LB, but they shouldnt, i have never seen that route on sundays the way ea has modified it, the funny thing is is that once he finnaly breaks into the route, the guy covering him still gets beat?!!!? come one now. so now when someone wants to nano me i cant make them back off by quick slanting my hb outta the backfield? thats gonna be a challenge to find another blitz beater imo

Have the offensive line play improved?

I'm yet to download the patch but it seems like there's a mixed reaction to it on here.

The game is playing fine for me as things stand with my custom sliders/coaching schemes, so my question is, if I download the patch and don't like it, is there anyway of deleting the patch?
