They are probably looking at the backlash on the ps3 patch and are deciding to put the patch back into the over because it is not even close to being ready then they will release it in 3 months and re-release it for ps3.

I just wish they would fix the read option.

It's clearly busted. I've ran it about 10 times total and every time It's busted up for a loss.

Let the conspiracy theories begin. Actually, I think somebody dropped the ball, but we'll never find out the real story. Doesn't matter though, it will come when it comes. Nothing we can do about it.

It pretty sad though, it looks like week 2 of college games will be in the books before I can even start to re-test sliders and then start a dynasty.

Next year, just wait until October when you can find the game at a discount. It will save alot of frustration.

I have to say I've run this with much success with the 2nd patch (360 user)

If this is just happening to the defenders who have weak man coverage ratings (based on what I have seen so far, I suspect this is the case), then we are dealing with a animation issue...as opposed to man defense being flawed in general.. From what I have seen so far, the people who are able to play off man coverage and/or press coverage, are doing it. Those who cannot, are getting beat..which is how it should be.

Except for when people can put backs and tight ends out on simple routes that really ought to be fairly easy to cover, and then defenders flat run the wrong direction for no apparent reason.

Man coverage seems to work alright with regards to corners matched up on WRs, but in terms of LBs and safeties guarding backs and TEs, it seems awful to me. I get that I shouldn't be able to consistently cover a slot receiver with my LB, but there has to be a better middle ground here. As it is, pretty much all that you have to do is use a spread formation and then throw to a slot receiver or TE who is being guarded by a weak CB or a LB/Safety. Thus the complete dominance of 5 wide.

But really the bigger problem here is that zones are just bad. You essentially HAVE to use the MLB because otherwise he is completely useless and won't make any plays on passes thrown to his area, but other players (deep safeties in particular) also do a poor job. Zones are terrible over the middle from short to deep.

ooh.
I'd like to that I'm a decently smart play caller and I call for it in the right situation. Since the game has came out, I haven't ran a successful read option play... maybe it's just me or something
