to my knowledge/memory, no patch this gen forced you to restart dynasties. so I don't think you will have to.

Guys? do you know if I really need to download the tuner pack if I download the update? Shouldn't the update include everything the tuner pack has? I only ask this because when I first went online with the game I did it on my kid's xbox. Now I can't get access to the tuner set on my xbox. I can get the updates when I go online because that's automatic but u need the EA account to access tuner pack(I think). If the tuner set fixes elements from an under the hood standpoint, shouldn't that be accessed similar to the update?

I'm glad to see the things they're addressing, but surprised at the mostly positive comments. After reading the list, I was disappointed more fixes weren't included.

-- No mention of the play-action ineffectiveness because of the CPU pass rush.
-- No mention of better blocking on punt and KO returns.
-- No mention of toning down the CPU defense aggressiveness so they don't blitz so often.
-- No mention of better run blocking.

Maybe some of these things will be fixed by some of the other fixes they mentioned.

"Tuned Man Coverage so defenders will not jump in front of routes so early. They will still jump the route, but not as early, or frequently, as before."

Does this mean mirroring has been fixed? :O

NCAA is the best game of the year ( as far as football ). I play NCAA religiously everyday and i had fell out of favor with it. I didnt buy a NCAA game for 2 years before this year. Its so good, i didnt buy madden for the first time in my life. Im 26 and been playing Madden since i was 7 and i didnt buy it or even think too. I used to buy NCAA and play it until Madden came out but this year i was too into NCAA. Im like 8 yrs in on my Dynasty in everything. Big ups to the crew who doing NCAA this year.....if only they can get double hit tackling next year and some better physics we will have a almost perfect experience.

I know the schedule issue is a pretty big deal, and I know a lot of people are going to be disappointed it's not listed here.

You might have missed it but they did input that.

There was an issue with Hawaii's home schedule causing conflicts with particular teams. This has been resolved. In particular, teams in the Pac 10 and the WAC will now have the correct number of conference games.

Now please just stop with the patches and tuner updates, so I can get my sliders straight and start a dynasty already.

Being facetious here...

But seriously... No more updates.

Sounds great. Wish they would have fixed the CPU depth chart problem, but the rest of it sounds awesome.
