All CPU controlled. Other users should post User impressions.

CPU HB's still use Protect Ball WAY too often. No defender within 2 yards on either side and they lose out on breakaway runs because they are protecting the ball instead of hitting holes down the field.

The thing that makes guys like Adrian Peterson, Chris Johnson, or Noel Devine explosive is that they explode through the 2nd line within the blink of an eye. HB's on this game take 5-6 seconds just to get through the 2nd line of defense because they are scared to move at full speed.

It's an improvement, but hopefully this isn't what EA considers a final product. CPU rushing still feels neutered.

So, will this functionally kill the game for anybody who buys the game w/o buying EA online pass? Now, I bought retail so I have it... but still.. worth asking.

Every retail copy comes with an online pass.

If you buy the game from a 3rd party then EA wants to make sure you pay for the online pass. Go EA, good business model.

The more sales EA makes = the better football game we get.

It is funny you mention Adrian Peterson hitting holes full speed because he had a big time fumble problem last year. Seems to me he could have used more protect ball animations.

No kidding!

8 play drives should take longer than :20.

LOL, how many times did he fumble 10-20 yards down the field? If AP gets 20 yards downfield then you can pretty much put 6 on the board.

Most of his fumbles were around the LOS. That's true for most HB's.

It is funny though in hindsight.

Overall this is a better game of football after the patch. The game still needs a lot of polish but you can tell that effort was put into certain areas where obvious weaknesses were.
