Cool. Can't wait to download it when I get home later.

Is it fair to say that this is probably the last patch we'll see for 2010?

Flats, Drags, Curls, etc are they all able to be completed as easy as before because of the zone depth? Deep routes are they easier to complete when you have the right match up? Line blocking is it better? Someone give a good break down on the true gameplay.

Agreed; I'm more interested in how the game plays than in simmed stats.

Exactly. I dont understand this at all.

And about the memorial stickers. It was dumb to even waste the time to put these in the game, when there were much bigger issues that needed to be addressed.

When they said everything you see on Sunday, im seeing now that it meant only all the knick-knack bs details like stickers on helmets. And not actually how the football game itself is played. I hate how you cannot edit any looks on the players, especially hair styles.

The patch has improved the overall defense. Its easy to tell. Im dominating teams on a slider set that I use to struggle with.

Is there a final list of what was worked on in this patch?

Once again, I'm going to reiterate this:

If you don't have impressions, DON'T POST.

It will take a while playing to game to figure out what areas of defense was improved.

All I can tell for sure is the coverage in the flats. Sometimes it doesnt look real natural, due to the reaction of any defender that happens to be in that area. At times screens still work to well. But they are not as consistent as they were.

QBs are actually taking sacks. Thats the thing that is standing out the most to me. It looks funny because a lot of the time its not like the QB is realizing hes gona be sacked and hes preparing for it. Its like he is still trying to throw out of it, but the ball sticks to his throwing hand.

If you want to ask some guys to check something for you, that's fine. But this thread is a complete MESS and those looking for impressions will only find discussions about anything and everything to this point. No more.

Keep the posts on the patch.

Thats from the CPU running AWAY from the user controlled player. the user controlled player can be the only one coming at him, the CPU would run back insid into the othe CPU controlled players. It was really evident on sweeps if you were using a safety.


i do notice now whoever is in man against the backs will haul to the sideline to cover, be it a safety or LB. Also i notice when the CPU does get a pass off to avoid a sack it isn't always the lame duck, sometimes it goes right down to their feet, sometimes its a lame duck and sometimes it flies a few feet forward. cool stuff.
