I was playing on VERY SLOW before the patch, and have left it there post-patch. I play ALL-PRO default sliders, VERY SLOW speed and find that more times than not the gameplay is solid. Yes, there are some WTF moments, but not enough to derail enjoyment of the game.

I think it's better but that's just my opinion. With sports games there are always going to be issues and if you can live with them great, if not then move on. This game is getting a ton of play in my PS3 right now and that's about all that's worth saying.

So do these changes affect current offline Franchises or do we have to start over for the changes to take place?

The game patch affects current offline franchises. The roster updates do not. If you want to start a franchise with the latest rosters, it has to be done after the rosters are saved.

I actually like the game -- My main concern is the lack of ratings impact - In particular at the OL/DL level -- See the Easter Bunny and Ratings thread in the forum.. Sad really.

Another uniform glitch post patch:

Reebok logo is fine on normal sleeves, but tucked sleeves, the logo flips to a vertical positioning.

What exactly has this patch fixed? From the four games I've played, I noticed run blocking is better and the holding penalty glitch in kicks is fixed. Anything else?

Because I'm just not feeling it yet. Patch seems to created more little, nagging issues, and of course, one major headache -- kickoff returns for TDs with great regularity.

I tinkered with the game before the patch and had it to the point where it was giving me a good game. I'm thinking of deleting this patch and just downloading it prior to patch 2, which I hope fixes the mess from patch 1.

Imagine that, now we need patches to fix patches. How insane is that?

Is there a way to delete the patch but keep the roster update? i was actually having a realistic game setting pre-patch, now i throw interceptions for touchdowns 5-6 times a game and that is just lame

5-6 times a game? I just played the first 4 weeks of a franchise season and had 1 pick six in total. I've also noticed it has happened less under the new patch. Just goes to show that perception is everything....

Nothing in the patch should have increased the frequency of this. So by all means uninstall the patch, but I suspect you're going after the wrong culprit. More likely it is your sliders.

Or just his style of play, I haven't seen any increase in this either. I have noticed blocking being a little better, but they still seem to realese there blocks to early IMO.

I understand what you're saying, but isn't this nitpicking?

Are you on 360? If so, you'll need to clear your cache. To do that, Go to the system blade and then select memory>Press Y on the HD symbol and then press X,X,Left Bumper, Right Bumper, X,X. Once you do this a messsage will appear saying: Do you want to perform maintenance on your Xbox 360 storage devices?

Remember, you cant play online without the latest patch. The next time, and each time you pop in the game while signed in, you will have to hit no when it asks you to update.

I'm not attacking him. I understand that it's something that matters to him, but from my perspective, it's not that big of a deal. Just my opinion. It's certainly not something that makes the game unplayable. That's all I'm saying. No hard feelings.

# 436 Ronnie brown23 @ 10/02/09 06:25 PM

it looks like they tried to patch big plays with the stupid stutter step or pimp walk looking animation in the open field.

Thanks, but that won't clear the roster update as well?

9 out of 10 people say they are getting sick when they take a certain medication. Is that still opinion?? The majority of people hate this patch= Bad patch, not opinion. It's a terible patch.

I've seen it a lot lately, and it's disgusting to watch. It looks like it's skipping frames. It's enough the animations are terrible, but now they skip frames which makes things worst.

CB,
I still have not seen any PA calls for either side. What sliders are you playing with? Or are these on default?
