Is the framerate bad for online fames, or offline, too?

Priorities are not in line correctly in the Madden series. And by your logic, it seems that this was added to the game because its seen on Sunday in the NFL, not to promote breast cancer awareness. So I think this was added to Madden for the wrong reasons. There has to be a line drawn somewhere. I have no prob with the BCA thing in Madden. But remember, this is a football video game. The top priority should be making the game playable with as few errors/glitches as possible and making it the best representation of a football game as possible. Things like BCA should be added on once the game is as good as it will get as the games top priority should not be to promote BCA. I know that sounds harsh to some, as the world has became so sensitive. EDIT: Im playing without the 2nd patch because the gameplay and framerate issue.

I don't know this for a fact, but I doubt it takes a lot of time and resources to make the players wear pink wristbands and add a new graphic on the score thing.

It's not like they stood there and went "Hmm, make the game better or add pretty pink wristbands? Wristbands."

Is the defense improved at all?

There is something just "off" about the patch. It's subtle, but the players just move awkwardly now and I'm seeing stranger animations that don't mesh. I don't know what they did, but they need to fix it. I'm clearing the cache on my 360 and going back to pre-patch days. I finally got a good slider set and was loving the gameplay. This patch did nothing but mess everything up.
I'm hoping the third patch irons out everything.

I feel like with the last two games, M10 and M11, the patches did nothing but mess up the game even more. It just makes me sad.

Hopefully 1.03...

1) Fixes the issue with all of the big plays. It's too easy to burn the defense. Even in coach mode and cpu vs cpu, I find the average yards per reception is about 17-18. NFL average is more like 11-12. The safeties are typically out of position on long rushes too.

2) Allows us to turn off replays. I am really tired of seeing 3 replays of a harmless incomplete pass and having no way to "X" past it. Games take way too long because of all the replays.

Is anyone else having trouble with toss plays? For me, when ever I go to toss the ball outside, my RB just sits there for a split second and then I'm screwed. Anyone else noticed this?

None at all. Using KC and probably half my run plays are pitches because Charles is almost unstoppable on those plays.
