Ok this time I started another completely new franchise, as I did with the first experiment...

Adrian Peterson ATT-306 YRDs 2,377 TDs 21 (7.7 YPC!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Turner ATT-302 YRDs 2,205 TDs 21 (7.3 YPC!!!)

Gore ATT-347 YRDs 2,063 TDs 20 (5.9 YPC)

S. Jackson- ATT-276 YRDs 1,968 TDs 18 (7.1 YPC)

Ok now in the TOP 10 for Rushers, 5 have over 7 YPC.Even Cedric Benson ended the season averaging 6.2 YPC.

Oh and this time 30 rushers ended with over 1K in rushing yards.


I WISH I was making this up.......this is just ridiculous.

I'm noticing that the AI QB is still throwing the ball away right before you sack him..?

That's the time MS normally adds in stuff such as patches, marketplace stuff, etc.

Also noticed this in my first 5 minutes playing a game with the Giants against the Jets.

Tuck couldn't sack Sanchez...

Did EA do anything besides make it worse? I was REALLY looking forward to this patch and now I don't feel like playing this game ever again.

I've never once said anything bad about EA on this board until now, this is just pitiful.

anyone noticing any gameplay differences??

i'll start with one the stutter is gone!!

i dunno if its just because i havent played in a week or so but the game seems to be playing smoother!

and i dont know if its the blocking or what but i've actually been able to get some yards with addai which hardly ever happens.. hope this isnt just my imagination!! haha

but as soon as i have nothing but good things to say the ball just went thru my hands arms and then chest so the CPU could convert on a crucial 3rd down and now they are in field goal range..


anyway.. anyone else have any 1st impressions they would like to share??

Would like to see some thoughts on coverage of the flats and pursuit angles. Also more sims to confirm/refute what has been posted about RB sim stats.
I simmed a season quick, here some stats

Pass TDs- Peyton Manning 41
Rush Yds- Michael Turner 1,992
Rush TDs- Michael Turner 16
Receiving TDs- Vincent Jackson 15
Sacks- Jared Allen 21.5
Tackles- Bradie James 147, 54 assisted

The most sacks a 3-4 OLB had was 20.5 and that was Shaun Phillips. I wish I can answer questions about the flats/pursuit angles but I really haven't played enough games to see if they are fixed.

One LAST stats post before I go to sleep...

This time I just simmed to the second season of the Chise I just started.

Chris Johnson, Turner & Peterson all had a 2K+ rushing season.YPC were a bit more realistic this time around (No 7 YPC rushers, although there were 5 that had atleast 6 YPC)

Seems like every season atleast 3 rushers will have over 2,000 rushing yards....

Personally, I'd much rather have the old stats before the patch than this garbage.Either do it right or don't do it at all.
 
# 31 Xpider @ 12/04/09 05:47 AM
Well I think it depends on the QB rating. I just played against the Panthers as the Browns in my 2nd season. I traded for Vernon Gholston and turn him into a DE. It was him vs all-pro Jeff Otah on the right side and Gholston demolished him and got to Delhomme 8 times. I was manually rushing Gholston for 5 of the 8 sacks and the rest of them were AI-generated sacks. I bet you can't do this to Brady :P Delhomme was missing open WRs all game, and he stood in the pocket like an idiot.

I've come to realize that no matter how high you put the CPU pass blocking slider, you can still get to the QB easily with a swim move... Edge rushing is becoming less and less challenging

Hopefully a 3rd patch exclusively for stat tuning can be released in January...

Its already common knowledge the HB stats would be off. Increasing the YPC for the backups does the same for the starters. Nothing he could do about it. I'll live with high RB totals. AT LEAST THEY SCORE TDS NOW.
 
# 34 Kevin_D @ 12/04/09 05:51 AM
What would be the point of waiting for ANOTHER patch?? It would come out in probably March.. lol.

-draft history for each player (so far, ive only noticed real nfl players...havent gone into my franchise yet)
-replays seem to be longer. i was able to view an entire kickoff return...pursuit angles that the kicking team took though we're rather questionable. maybe i can post the video later and see what yall think

thats it so far, ill see what else i notice before i go to sleep
ok, along with this stuff, i've noticed the following to this point:

- of the three offensive tds scored so far in the game im playing...(one for 5 yds, one for 27 yds, and one for 59 yds) only one was replayed and it was the 27 yd pass. i also had a long play from my fullback replayed. so only 2 replays in 2 quarters of play to this point

-flat coverage...i noticed the CBs in cover 2 flat coverage still slightly rub off of the recievers but dont seem to drop back very far with the reciever. they seem to be discipline enough to stay in the flat area for the most part. ive only seen two instances where a pass was thrown that way and the defenders made plays on the ball pretty well. both times they recognized the ball was headed their way and ran toward the reciever. once ended in a swat, the other ended in a tackle.

- i was able to get the quarterback twice without having to dive toward him before he could throw.

- they also added just a tad bit more time of post play so cutscenes finish out alot smoother.

- just got a interception return for a touchdown off of a duck pass from cpu...i was able to instant replay from the snap of the ball, all the way til my guy finishes his taunt in the end zone after running about 70 yds

Great, maybe this time Adrian Peterson & Turner will finish every season with atleast 3,000 yards and 30 TDs...oh and maybe 10 YPC.

Being a Lions fan, you must have to live optimistically. I tend to be more realistic though, and this is a joke.

Honestly don't see how it's common knowledge the stats would be off. The point of the PATCH is to make things better, more realistic...they just went in a whole other direction, instead of not enough yards and TDs they went for WAY too many yards and TDs.

Search for Looman's thread about tuning franchise stats. Thats all i'm going to say to you.
 
# 38 Stack @ 12/04/09 06:10 AM
Every time EA releases a patch to correct something, they tend to over do it. It's not on purpose, it just seems to happen.

Just have to learn to live with the over exaggerated rushing totals after the patch, seriously doubt there will be a third patch.

Like the saying goes: Beware what you wish for
 
# 39 Pappy Knuckles @ 12/04/09 06:11 AM
I don't care about how the stats look in your franchise mode. Tell me how the patch has affected the gameplay. What differences do you notice?
 
# 40 LionsFanNJ @ 12/04/09 06:18 AM
Well I haven't played a full game yet, but so far i've seen a few new missed tackle animations (on my team sadly) where the back jukes and the defender falls and reaches out for the back as he passes, only being able to get a hand on him. Also, i tried a few swing passes and noticed at the snap the backer hauled towards the flats. My back got the ball, but he was tackled right away. I've been meaningto notice if cover 2 the CB's stay closer or not, but i keep forgetting.

haven't made any good pressure yet, (i am the lions after all) so i can't say either way about the QB holding the ball or not. But its late here on the east coast so i'll play more tomorrow to see if i notice anything.
