You are not alone. This is the first year I have to avoid patches and play strictly offline. Literally having to disconnect from the Internet.

Got burned by the punt glitch for the first time in the playoffs last night along with CPU automatic fields goals.

I play in a browns offline All Pro franchise but lost in the wildcard to Texans. Wildcard game was weird and featured CPU Robo QB going 19/20 in what amounted to a shoot out 38-31 loss. I almost came back!

So as I am out of the playoffs and not real happy with the gameplay post patch, I decide I will take over the Patriots and play the next round which happens to be against the Texans. This is a good chance to test the sliders with me playing as a "good" team rather than as the Browns and also allows me to get revenge!

So....as expected things were easier with the Patriots. I went up 14-0 pretty quick and my pass defense held the Texans in check in the first half. Osweiler was like 8 of 15. More realistic. However, in the 2nd half things shifted and they started to complete everything. Ultimately I was leading 21-14 with 3 minutes to go and could not keep the ball. I had to punt from my own 40 yard line with 2 minutes left. Uh oh. Wind is in my face. I nail the punt and it goes straight up.....and comes down on their 40 yard line. A 20 yard punt.

They proceed to go down and score with 40 seconds left to tie it 21-21. I start out at the 30 and hit Gronk for 30 yards and then Amedola and I am down to their 30 with 11 seconds and no timeouts. I try a 47 yard field goal and nail it but it comes up short.

Overtime.

I win the toss and choose to receive. I figure I'm gonna drive and win this. I advance to about my own 40 and get hit with back to back holds. 2nd and 30. I eventually get back to the 40 but it is 4th and 10. I have to punt. Into the wind. Ugh.

I nail it but only get 20 yards again. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.

Now they come out and start dinking and dunking and move to my 32 when I finally hold them. On comes their field goal team and bam....they nail a 49 yard with a ton to spare. A no doubter. Automatic.

I lost. Ugh.

Now I am seriously considering trying season 2 as the Browns with no patch.

Question: I know I lose all the patch related updates but do I also lose commentary updates as well? I am not certain but I think most of the Browns rookies were added and called by name in one of these updates....can't imagine the original audio had some of these guys in there. Could be wrong though.

Any thoughts?

Sorry for the long post.

If you are on disc. You will lose all. Just play the game out of the box. If you are on digital you can avoid the patch.

How do you avoid the patch on digital? I set my PS4 system settings to not auto update applications and I still got the MUT patch rammed down my throat. I don't want any more patches from them, period, but I think the PS4 digital games will auto-update no matter what if you ever use the console's internet features, which I do.

Am I wrong about the technicalities here?

Sorry Trojan. It was a typo. I meant can't.

It's strange though. I personally am really good at kicking. I did slip up and miss a extra point the other day. Lol

But, in my franchise and in general online play I'm still seeing people I'm playing miss a lot. So I don't know. Maybe some of us are just really good? It's weird
