Some honest opinions after spending a few hours and a few games with this patch.
1. Defensive backs are much more aggressive going after interceptions. Which is a good thing IMO. Unlike Madden 12, these backs don't drop interceptions.
If they have an opportunity to, they will jump that route. Makes the passing game way better because you now can't force anything for sure or just lob it up there on streaks.
2. Seeing the cpu using a lot more spin moves and jukes when they are running the ball.
3. Ball carrier vision is improved, seeing a lot more cut back multiple times in a single run type of runs now. They actually using the whole field when they are running.
4. Defensive ends are bringing the heat. No need to blitz, DEs get a lot of pressure on their own now.
5. Defense react to scrambling QBs a lot quicker now. Now most scrambles are 1 or 2 yard runs. Every once in a while they break a 20 yard scramble, but it is very rare now for them to get over 6 yards on a single scramble.
6. Seeing a lot of over throws and under throws when the QB is moving while throwing.
7. Special teams needs big improvement. CPU can't return at all now. Gunners get down the field way too fast on punts and on kickoffs they get no blocking what so ever.
8. Screens work very well now.
9. Play recognition seems to be greatly improved. Defense picks up your play calling pattern within 2 series now. That is a good thing.
This was on All American Coach Mode.

I'm primarily a coach mode player and it's great seeing the effect that readjusted tendencies have on gameplay. Seeing guys like Lamichael James & Darron Thomas, Denard and other players play to their true tendencies makes for a much better game to watch. I have noticed some instances where LB's are just standing in place as qb's or sometimes rb's cross the line of scrimmage like they are stuck in a trance. I never saw that prior to patch. I've only seen that 2 or 3 times in the 2 games I've played. Seemed like they messed with LB awareness to open up option plays. I feel sorry for the playbook and no-huddle guys. Hopefully they can fix those things. Like the patch so far. Anyone else seen "stuck in a trance" LB's?
What Crazziness.. Dude playing on Varsity saying its TOO easy. Look you are half the problem. Learn how to tailor the game. AA is obviously the better choice for these things as everyone is telling you. And in ALL honesty the ONLY way to Get a REAL cpu game with STATS & CHALLENGE is to get the sliders dialed in on HEISMAN.. That is the ONLY way and I will repeat ONLY way to keep people from going 12-0 every year..... Yes some of the PATCHES dont always go so smoothly but in ALL HONESTY how could you expect to enjoy anything if you can't tailor the game to your needs... If your not smart enough to do that then you prob dont have much fun with anything. 2K > than EA but EA is not as bad as THEY say

I've also noticed that tackling is far to sure, now. No one seems to escape a tackle and I've seen defensive backs bring down a running back with one arm, both by me and by the computer.
It's only one game so far, but I'm not optimistic at all. I absolutely loved last years game and played it constantly. I was really looking forward to the new big 10 in the game this year, but I have a feeling I'm just going to go back to my Road to the Show pitcher on MLB 2011 and shelve this game indefinitely.

The tackling thing was like that BEFORE the patch. So that isn't anything new.
Far as passing, it depends on the WR. I seen some WRs attack the ball and some just concede to the DB.
Far as the offensive line and defensive line....Haven't seen that issue, might just be your sliders or the team you are using. So just play a few more games with various teams to see if it continues.
If it does continue for you, it's an easy fix. Just increase pass blocking a little or lower pass rush. Or if you want to get your hands dirty, lower the block shedding for DTs.

Hope they didnt turn d line pass rush up (Way too many sacks.... Way too few DT's Tackleing HB's.) I was getting 30 sacks a year and every other user with 28 26 ... That is with one Player by the way.

Fair enough. I am playing with Purdue and they suck pretty bad, so what should I expect I guess. I'm playing with standard sliders and as a matter of principal I refuse to use them. As a software developer, I find the concept entirely to be a cop out. It's a blatant admission by the makers of the game that they cannot get the game to resemble real life, so they leave it up to you to do the work for them. I think it's stupid.

Purdue does not suck they are a division 1 football program. I hate that everyone has to be OhioState Oregon... So on. I like to be big schools just doesnt have to be all A's ... Im talking online mostly... If you even try to play a ranked game with a stranger 98% of the time they are OU.. 99% of the time they use custom playbooks... Primarily to cheat... That is the sad thing about glitches people dont know that even non glitch gameplay exploits are cheating.

I just now realized on my offline dynasty going through the season stats for each team that my tendencies are still flipped after the patch. I started the dynasty after the i downloaded the patch so i'm not sure what happened. Do these players play to the tendency they are labeled, or is it just a label?

You are the problem.
In all honesty you should probably know at least a little about what you're talking about or who you're talking to. Tailor the game to your needs? LOL! The guy you just blessed out does intensive work on these games and comes up with amazing slider sets that allow for much better ball game. You're calling him out about something he spends so much time on. Patch day is usually a hell of a day for those guys who specialize in sliders because now all the work they did before to make the game as playable as possible is thrown out the window and they have to start from scratch.
And just cause you think you're something special because you have better twitch skills or stick skills or whatever and am a god on Heisman doesn't mean that others can't get great experiences on other levels. So get off your high horse and quit acting like you're better than anybody.
Just had to get that off my chest. I'll go back to my corner and play a fun game of football on varsity level without either patch now.

Have you watched Purdue play lately? Maybe I was spoiled because Brees was the quarterback when I went to school there. The got beat by Indiana last year and looked horrible doing it. That's Indiana. Seriously, their stadium is a tiny poured concrete facility that most high school teams would be ashamed to play in. It seats 20,000 people and their scoreboard looks like a lite brite. They opened the season against Middle Tennessee state and got schooled on both sides of the ball and somehow managed to pull a will out of their posterior. I'll be shocked if they win a single game in Big 10 play. It's been quite a regression over the past decade.

Playing some exhibition games and a dynasty game so far I have noticed:
1. DBs seem to make more jumping INTs than before. Maybe it is just a coincidence but it is nearly impossible for me to get a ball over the head of a DB if he is anywhere near the receiver since the patch. (This is a good thing as you can't throw 50 yard TDs at will anymore out of 4/5 wide sets.)
2. Blocking on KICKOFF returns seems better. First game I played I returned the opening kickoff for a TD (first time I have in '12), and the CPU returned the kickoff for a TD immediately afterwards. The blockers seem to actually create seams instead of just hugging the guys and letting go as you run to allow the tackle.
3. CPU QBs will no longer for 20 yards EVERYTIME your running zone without a spy. Probably the most annoying part of playing defense pre-patch, very happy it is fixed.
There are definitely still some problems, but the patch fixed up some annoying bugs and made the game experience much better.
