Has progression turned out differently due to some of the inflated stats?

FOR THOSE WHO ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT HOW THE GAME IS PLAYED AND NOT ABOUT HOW MANY RBs GET OVER 2K!

Wow I must say.. I'd much rather be able to play online BEFORE the patch came out.

#1. FLATS ARE FIXED... Only by a cover 2 CB.. If you run a Cover 3 and your LB has flat duties.. the LB wont get there fast enough for a "Cheese" Play and quickly throw to your RB.. (All this is on all-madden).

#2. Focused so much on the cover 2 flats that EVERYTHING ELSE IS BROKEN... In cover 2 the safeties back pedal 25-35 yards deep!!! FOR NO REASON. It's an easy completion to a streak on the outsides in the hole.. Now I know cover 2 has a hole in the defense just like every coverage.. BUT WOW.. the safeties back pedal so far that the hole becomes HUGE!

#3. Man align still doesn't exist. And funny, but MAN COVERAGE is absolutely HORRIBLE. The defenders get juked without the WRs even attempting a fake in there routes..


Bad patch..

Thanks for posting the sim stats but I don't like three things:

1) Way too many guys getting even 1,500 yrds up to 2,000 yds.
2) Sack totals are too much - a player getting 20 sacks should be an absolute rarity.
3) Receiving TDs are a bit too high as well.

I'd like to see more people's impressions regarding actual gameplay (not new animations) and what the differences now are between rushing the QB, CPU runs, OL blocking, etc. but my major concern is the sim stats.

I play a lot of games and seasons in my offline franchise and the outlandish numbers would seriously dampen it...I'm on the fence whether I'll download it.

Thanks for these posts...i think everyone can see that although there is something to look at about the 2000 yard rushers...."The sky is not falling" (to quote chicken little)

And just so everyone knows, I have reports that the linebackers are hauling a** to the flats now...lol...but cover 2 is gonna take a hit...and to be honest that's kinda like real life. A good QB and WR can eat up cover 2 if they don't get pressure...

How many times have you played since you downloaded the patch...

For those who are simming seasons to check for accurate stats, can you please list if you are doing a fantasy draft or not?

I ask this because I find that the talent becomes much more balanced in the league and had a slight difference on production for players pre patch and I am curious if it still has any effect.

[stux]

For my simmed stats:

I am NOT using a fantasy draft.

I am did not download the last roster update. I am using the one before it. I assume that shouldn't make any difference as they said it wouldn't effect existing franchises any differently.

I created a new franchise not an existing one. Again, I was using the roster from before today.
