The UDFAs have really high "overalls" in preseason, so veterans with lower real overalls get cut. You'll see Peyton Manning backed up by two 37 OVR QBs, with at least a dozen 70+ OVR QBs available in FA.

In terms of the equipment, I haven't seen it yet, so I can't comment.

Is draft logic with imported classes fixed? The patch details said it fixed the "punters being drafted highly" problem, but was that their way of describing an overall tune-up to the logic, so teams like Carolina don't draft QBs in the 1st round, or is the fix truly limited to that description?

It might bother people in ways that aren't a big deal to you. Personally I hate how the CPU hoards the UDFAs and leaves capable vets in the free agent pool to rot. Before I started deleting them every preseason, I would find talented youngish players like Felix Jones buried in the free agent pool. Some CPU teams were not even carrying a backup HB that was at least 70+ OVR.

This makes the real players that should be on teams get left out and start regressing way too fast. Does it change much during games? No not really, but it is an important factor to me when I'm running a franchise.

hey i downloaded the patch and used the browns just to check if the i had the new patch. it didnt rain in their first game so im assuming i got it. i then started a franchise with the giants but it is still raining in pretty much every game, even in december. what can i do to fix this?? will there be a new patch soon?

Did they completely strip out the QB vision cone? I haven't picked up Madden in a few years and not sure if its still an option.

By the 5th year, the NFL looks like a circus with the distorted equipment and players, a HUGE graphics/visual setback. Absolutely destroyed franchise for me, and that's not even addressing the UDFA fiasco that FORCED me to waste inumerable hours to manage all 32 teams. One of the most frustrating Madden versions ever for this franchise guy.

Same. I haven't played since October 1st.

Since the Mutant League pads haven't been fixed, does this also mean that regular quarterback pads are still messed up? For example, Alex Smith has very small pads. He looks absolutely perfect in the player edit screen, but when you went into a game his pads were too big. Editing them did no good.

Also noticed this with Brady & others. Is this still broken too?

Hey,

I have downloaded the update for non-live users, Can someone show me how to activate the patch via USB?

Thanks in advance
