Twice the ball went into the endzone and once it landed at the 5 yard line and bounced into the endzone. Very annoying knowing that I'm going to start at the 20 yard line pretty much guaranteed anytime the cpu punts from my end of the field or even mid-field for that matter, if he has enough leg power. Then again, I play as the Raiders, so I need all the help I can get.

This problem has plagued both of EA's football games for some time now. It's like the punters have no awareness whatsoever, if they are inside the opponents' 50 they punt the exact same way they do if they were at their own 20.

EA needs to put in some serious work in all aspects of special teams. CPU punting logic, kickoff return blocking (why do I have 2-3 front line guys sprinting towards the end zone right after the kick?), the kicking mechanic in general (field goals are nearly automatic), etc.

Same here, I've played the four preseason games in my Chiefs franchise and haven't seen a punt from that range yet. Longwell of the Vikings nailed a 53-yarder and then missed a 40-yarder wide left later in the game.

You can tweak sliders to fix this...Nothing to do with patches...

That is sweet music to my ears.

Thank you.

And the CPU Packers decided if OL ratings don't matter that they could just stick a kicker and WR on the o-line. The first play of the game the formation the packers chose had 3 WRs 1 TE and 2 RBs. I thought great a new bug that is messing up the count but then as the walked up to the line I saw the count was right. They had an extra WR playing LT and the Kicker Mason Crosby playing center. Trent Cole was pretty much stymied by the backup WR all game only getting one sack and Crosby gave up no sacks as well as doing a hell of a job in run blocking.

Have you seen the Packers oline this year? Mason Crosby playing center is an upgrade

I love this patch. But I'm more into playing a competitive franchise with my stats being fairly accurate while putting in little work sliders-wise. I'm not worried about the rest of the league...as long as they give me a fight.

Yeah and that's why I asked. I've already seen it a few too many times in my OF.

guys are the cpu QB still hitting the slot WR on most plays or can the stars get some catches

nothing worse than seeing A. johnson having 2 for 23 and the slot or RB has 8 catches
