I hoped the patch would fix the problems, but it sounds like it's still a major gamebreaker, unless one makes up a house rule against ever throwing to a streaking receiver in this game.

I am working on something right now....think I stumbled upon a fix.......I am going to test tonight and tomorrow night and will post something here soon.

Check out my varsity sliders and post comments about the safety play.

All of the safety problems and non existant pass rush from AI defensive ends is coming from the AI using the gameplanning gimmicks on higher levels.

Pretty much all of the AI defensive shortcomings can be fixed by playing on Varsity.

Now I just have to find the right slider set to make the game play well, I am getting close, but have to do more tonight.

The gameplanning gimmick is ruining the game, EA needs to remove those completely from the game and make the players perform on their abilities.

It's ironic because I feel the things the CPU does on AA and Hesiman that it doesn't do or doesnt do as often on Varsity (game planning, all-out blitzes and predictive play calling) actually make the game easier in a lot of ways, unless you restrain yourself with a lot of House Rules.

On AA default sliders...

CPU pass D is ******** now.

All I need is a Trips formation, HB motion to the weakside and least 3 routes are open (short/mid/bomb) every play. And yeah, I've seen LB's follow the HB out and then BLITZ IN! Safety play doesn't even matter if that BS is happening.

Human Pass D is SUPERHUMAN.

I've been picking off QB's 5, 6, 11 times a game just playing Man Cover 2 with an aggressive DL rush. This is ridiculous.


...

So, who can point me to some sliders 'cause this patch has me winning 70-10 now?

Finally someone that knows the game. This with the Saftey play are my biggest issues. QB at 0 should be almost every pass overthrown. Why having a 0-100 range then?

my experience has been completely opposite of what you've stated.

On both? Really? Wow.

Sending the Hb on a fly is either a touchdown or massive clear out every time.

Man to man with two deep safeties with aggressive dl, conservative strip/hard hits turns them into 2000 ravens.

Second year of my dynasty with Ole Miss.

I thought the latest patch really improved the gameplay especially the CPU safeties. However the offline dynasty freeze glitch has rose its ugly head again. Anyone else having this issue post patch #2? I mean I really enjoy this game always have but in all my years of playing video games I have never encountered a game that has had so many problems, its crazy.
