What is it that you like about them? I wonder if I'm missing something.

I find it very tedious to try to cycle through the individual positions, find a sub, and still call a play and execute the play in :40.

I am definitely looking for as many user vs user and user vs cpu impressions we can get on this. AI pass rush was my biggest pet peeve with the game

I'm def keeping my PS4 signed out of the internet until I know EXACTLY what this patch does to gameplay / sliders...

My main concern is that some have reported that the Tuner from a couple months ago is no longer appearing as a "Yes / No" download option, post patch...

If they folded the tuner into this patch, I'm not interested...

Definitely prefer the "No Tuner" gameplay...

Well, so far Watt has sacked me 4 times in 1 1/2 games (playing a Houston-Dallas matchup). On the most recent one he was on me in 2.2 seconds (normal game speed), running free off of a 5-man overload blitz. The O-line had no chance, and neither did I.

In the one CPU vs CPU game I ran there were only 3 sacks total between both teams, so I'm not worried about them overtweaking it. But it does feel like something is different there. All Pro, default everything sliders (even penalties which I moved back to default for the sake of testing).

I play default everything so I will start my bucs cfm and play a couple and let you know

I will be honest though...that tuner really had no bearing. I saw the qb craziness without it. That's why I started the trait editing. If they fixed the pash rush to counter this I am happy

i guess i just like doing it on the fly. perhaps i should be more specific though, as you put it, yeah i can see that getting tedious.

i should have said i like it in relation to placing different running backs in different formations, throughout the course of the game. i like having my main back, then my power back, and then i still utilize my 3rd stringer. i can easily sub my power back for more and more formations if he gets hot. this way i can adjust without leaving the game, my power back into more and more formations for that particular game, still having my starter in at various formations.

i don't really know how to explain it very clear i guess.

Fair enough, but I respectfully disagree...

For one thing, the Tuner made the "Catch Versus Drop" percentage really high on INTs...

I just really didn't care for the way it affected the WR / DB interaction overall...

HUM v CPU, to clarify...
