I think where the tendencies were fixed, now most DE's are pass rushers again and are playing like them too. I may be wrong, but I thought the bug pre-patch made DT's pass rushers and DE's balanced which is why the pass rush was so backwards.

OK, I'm glad I'm not seeing things. What you describe is exactly what I'm seeing. The rush now comes from the outside primarily and DTs aren't doing the crazy instant whip/rip through the OL that they were before. I don't use the phrase game-breaker, but the way they messed that part of the game up at release was nearly a game-breaker for me.

Now the rush feels much more natural.

Have you or anyone else noticed "coverage" DBs and LBs making more plays on the ball on their own? I am seeing increased interception numbers because these guys are attacking the ball in the air in ways they didn't use to. It's pretty cool to see the ballhawks at work now, but I'm going to have to adjust sliders to account for the change.

LOL great job EA!!! The patch didnt fix the DC glitch that everybody does online.
It also didnt fix the pa jet sweep glitch! Wow just wow. Do they even care? Online is unplayable in ranked matches

I completely understand. The DT's getting all of the pass rush frustrated me so much and was the main tendency that made me take a break from the game until a week before the patch dropped.

And I've noticed my DB's at Miami, who are balanced and coverage are breaking on the ball a lot more than the DB's I have at Baylor that are all Hard Hitters except like on CB who is balanced. It's nice to see players playing to their tendencies so much. Now if EA could implement more tendencies like Madden did, then the gameplay would be amazing.

After many games I've come to one conclusion: this patch sucks. Just awful..****ined an already screwed up game. Way to go EA...waited forever for this to drop and now this game is near unplayable with it. Only way to even get some semblance of normalcy is to jack up the speed threshold to 100... very disappointed and yet again another waste of money. i LOVE football, and this game is so disappointing...

damn mk, if you're giving up on the game, I'm not sure there is any hope for it barring some kind of miracle quick fix via tuner next week.

This patch is so sweet on AA, you should try it marsh.

I feel 180 degree different then you do. It never fails, with every single patch that is put out for every game, a certain percentage will think that it exponentially improves the game, and a certain percentage will think that it is a game destroyer.

I'm glad that I am in the former camp.
