Very good to hear. Thanks.

I have a pre-existing franchise, and loaded it up to play the week 1 game between the Bills and Pats. They automatically put the AFL uniforms and logos at the Franchise screen which is cool.

The only problem is that the game froze in the 1st quarter while I was looking at a replay. Not cool.

Keep in mind all of my comments were observations from practice mode, all-madden and I don't mess with sliders.

I'm aware.

Anyone notice a difference in hook zone, LB zone recognition/responsivness on routes over the middle?

Was that addressed at all, is that coming in a 2nd patch? or do we just have to hold our nose and tolerate it for this year.

lol...thanks

Actually CB made a good point that I forgot to mention-fatigue. DEFINITELY more noticeable.

Also, I've gotten more separation on some deep balls. I thought it was placebo at first, but I suppose this is likely due to the WR release issue that was fixed...which until I saw LBzrule mention it, I forgot it was in the patch! Should definitely add a better risk/reward to press coverages (which might have been too effective prior to the patch).

None that I've noticed. LBs still seem to have plenty of brain-dead moments in coverage overall, I'm afraid.

I went after my game against the 9ers with the Bengals, and went to save a sweeeeeet playaction pass to Ocho in the endzone. Nope got cut after the ball was almost to Ocho's hands...i was hopin that'd be fixed...no biggie was just hopin tho
