It is true that the second patch ruined my online experience, but I don't blame EA for that, I blame the idiots that exploited the glitch. I mean just because it is there, doesn't mean you have to use it. The other issue I had with the patch is, that it caused the running game for the CPU to go kaput. Other than that, dirty uniforms and beautiful gameplay from other aspects of the game. I think it is safe to say you will enjoy the changes.

Thank you very much I just downloaded the tuners. I was on AA difficulty with pass coverage at 45 for both sides before I ever had tuners (I feel silly thinking I had them the whole time lol). The 'psychic' ability of the DB's was never an issue at that setting. I see a huge difference in man coverage now it's very soft. This combined with the super accuracy of the QB's is gonna be an issue. You're right SEC I'm waiting patiently on your new slider tweaks hope you make some soon.

In-season progression is nice but I don't want them to risk screwing up all of dynasty mode just so my pet receiver can gain 3 OVR points in a few weeks.

3 point in a few weeks is a giant leap from 1 point in an entire year. It should be done halfway through the season with a jump of between 2-5 points. What is a one point differential anyways? To be honest it probably means very little if anything in the actual gameplay.

Im not asking for outrageous progression stats. I just want to see progression. I simulated 4 weeks on a online dynasty and no progression was given in any category. I dont think progression was added with patch thats my issue.

I don't see any players on any team that received +1 attributes during the season. I'm in Week 15.

Cough up a spreadsheet. Until then it sounds like speculation and guesswork. Did you check position-specific ratings for all players on a few teams? Did you try running an entire season and then checking? To me, "I simmed four weeks and didn't see anything different" sounds a lot like "I barely checked and am jumping to the worst possible conclusion." This place is a crowded theater - let's stop shouting "FIRE," eh?

That's not true. The second patch broke some things and the cpu couldn't run the ball at all against me on AA post patch #2 no matter what sliders I used (cpu run block 100, human run defense 0). The fact EA said they fixed the rush defense slider leads me to believe I was right. For some of us, the second patch ruined All American.

I don't want to get into second patch issues again but your statement is short sighted and only relative to your experience.
