Trucking is still ridiculously overpowered.

True, you wouldn't have this effect if you're playing online. What I'm referring to applies to the offline franchise. You're going online you'd get the patch automatically, right? If you have a saved offline franchise, and the patch comes, then you can't use that saved franchise and expect the patch to be in effect, you'd have to start a new one. It's been that way in past games as well, or am I wrong?

And u had freezing issues with internet enabled before the patch?

Mine is still freezing post patch. Cant start any type of game with internet enabled.

We'll find out soon enough about the imported class ratings fix because we're nearing the end of season 1 - I doubt it'll affect the players in this current year's class (the one that's already scoutable to us), but it should take effect with season 2's class, I would think. Edit: Toss plays seem to be working now too - no hitch.

any possible to way you can sim and post results?

Look at kehlis's post #58 on this thread, it's a link to last years announcement. On that link look at post #47, it's states no restart unless u were wanting custom roster since that would require a new base roster set. I only play offline and I have never restarted and still noticed effect of the patch.

# 66 Sturzinator @ 10/24/13 06:18 PM

Has anyone tried any simming through a season or two to see if, by some miracle, the sim stats were tweaked for the better?

I linked to it earlier but here are the quotes confirming that you wouldn't have to restart unless you wanted to use the customer rosters which was patched in last year (which is understandable).

ok still having the same issues and more since the patch.... still no flags and I've played 2 games since I installed it... like I said before previous I would get around maybe 5 a game.... since............. 0 in 2 games... now I upped the CIT rating for almost all of my wr's.... most are in upper 80's... I throw in traffic.... and its always a dropped pass???.

so anybody else not seeing any flags??? also what about the CIT??

I had my penalties tweaked so I was getting 5 or 6 per team, per game (realistic per NFL averages) with good game play. I was getting a nice variable range of 4-16 total penalties per game.

If they jacked this up as well, I think I will smash my disc into bits tonight and swear off EA forever.

# 70 NYBorn81 @ 10/24/13 06:36 PM

Oh well, my mistake, I always figured you had to restart franchises.

But anyway, PS3 side, the game still plays really slow in the menus and I can't start a franchise without a hard freeze...Fixed stabily issues my A..

# 71 NYBorn81 @ 10/24/13 06:39 PM

Oh, and thats why I always restarted because I used rosters then and now, so yea, slight misunderstsanding there.

# 72 kehlis @ 10/24/13 06:45 PM

Yea. definitely always had to restart if we wanted to use a roster update.

# 73 Ween88 @ 10/24/13 06:54 PM

What about the Auto Sub Problem?

i'll give those a try I don't get it though I played 2 games yesterday had them called played 2 today and nothing I swear everytime they put out a patch it breaks something else.

thanks these work not out of the 1st quarter had a RTP called on me and a facemask on the cmp... just weird that it wont let ones I already had that I've been using all along in my cfm.

# 75 kingsofthevalley @ 10/24/13 07:44 PM

Are they ever going to fix the players domes? Some of the QBs and Linemen have shrunken heads like beetljuice and the RBs have huge alien rocks, **** is hilarious. It doesn't annoy me THAT bad, but its still odd looking.

# 76 mavfan21 @ 10/24/13 07:47 PM

The repeating draft class glitch is NOT fixed in existing CFMs. You must start a new one to avoid it. You will always get Eli Watson in season 2 if you don't restart.

# 77 Last_Light @ 10/24/13 07:58 PM

Was there really even a problem with injuries? I found it quite realistic. I loved how if Lamar Miller could stay healthy he'd be up there challenging for lead rusher each season. But because of his injury rating he'll always miss at least a couple games a season.

I really hope the CIT is fixed. Because you can't always have wide open receivers.

# 78 mavfan21 @ 10/24/13 08:01 PM

Anyone start anew CFM to confirm you don't get Eli Watson in year 2 every time?

# 79 Matthew25x @ 10/24/13 08:03 PM

Still seeing crazy looking face textures on coaches in CCM.

My biggest problem isn't how frequent the injuries were, it was how severe they always seemed to be. Everything seemed to be a broken collarbone, broken ribs, etc that left the player out 5+ weeks. Wish they toned that down and put in more sprained ankles, quad strains, etc that lasted a week or 2. And they could give you the option of playing them at any point w/ increased risk and reduced ratings. Then you would get the feeling of actually running a team
