Well, I know on the day of the tuner updates, I played a Play Now game and as the Rams, had 14 sacks on the Packer's Rodgers. So, I would say at least on that day it did not affect gameplay, because since the tuner updates, I haven't come close to that many sacks in my online CFM. Now, I don't know if that has changed, because I haven't touched Play Now since I had those 14 sacks. That was a little more than several days ago.

I'm pretty sure the patch updates for offline CFM haven't rolled in yet, either. That one is easy to figure out though. Sim the season and see what the sim stats are showing. If they are out of whack, like they were upon release, then no fix yet for offline CFM. I'm pretty sure offline CFM hasn't been fixed yet.

I thought EA combining the modes was so they wouldn't need different patches? so now that they combined??? offline still needs a seprate patch? never knew that I always thought the patches were for all modes since that's what EA stated since it is called CONNECTED FRANCHISE mode.

The "connected" in connected franchise has nothing to do with online/offline, it's "connected" because superstar mode, franchise mode, and owner mode are now just one mode.

have u considered maybe 'play now' plays differently then CFM's do? cause I know that's something that's been true in lots of EA football games.

I don't know if I am quite understanding your question correctly, but there is offline CFM where you can save the game to your hard drive and it isn't connected to online.

Then there is the online CFM league you can start (saved server side), a solo league which people have been playing a lot of since the tuner updates seemed to have only fixed online CFM.

If you want to check out yourself, sim the season in offline CFM and see if the sim stats are fixed (too many rushing yards for QBs, bad QB play for the elite QBs, abnomorally high sack totals on the season, ect), which I'm pretty sure they aren't. I am almost positive they have not rolled out a patch for a fix to offline CFMs, yet.

Also, like I said about Play Now mode, I played it after the tuner updates and it played horribly, with too many sacks being taken like upon release, and the QB just standing still for 5 seconds in the pocket waiting to be sacked. In online CFM, after the tuner updates, this got a little better. Especially the sacks, there were not as many.

Yeah, I considered it, after I had 10 and 14 sacks in back-to-back games and realized it was broken, while after the tuner updates and after starting an online CFM, the game played better. I definitely figured out it wasn't the same.. lol
