And you also don't have to page through a bunch of menus (which aren't the fastest moving menus in the world) to find the play you want to call.

I'm really glad for this change.

With that said...can someone post a screen shot of the Buffalo Bills road jerseys, focusing on the numbers on the jersey? I'd like to see if they were among the multiple jersey fixes deployed in this update.

Not true at all.

Two issues are mentioned far more than any other ones, and those are AI taking sacks and CFM finances.

I think it is a bit disingenuous to suggest that the developers should fix every single issue mentioned. No reasonable person is saying that. But when the majority (large majority) are saying that sacks is an issue and it was not fixed? The disappointment is warranted

Online CFM games against a user. It adds dead time to the game. We already don't get enough plays because we had to shorten games to 11 from 12 and I'm a firm believer it's mainly due to the play calling

# 144 tropicana420 @ 10/07/14 01:48 PM

I thought they added QB signature passing styles? Peyton Manning's is still broken or non existent. I wonder who else's dosent work properly?

# 145 JKSportsGamer1984 @ 10/07/14 01:48 PM

So did they not fix the issue with the game randomly starting you over with the Cam Newton intro?

# 146 RemyDaGr8 @ 10/07/14 01:48 PM

Disregard.

There are difficulties in how the game handles playcalling and reconciling that with realism. I don't think there is a solution that would please everybody.

Still, the better solution would be to allow formation subs to either stick game to game or be inputted from menus. I think that is why the time calling plays is such a handicap.

As for general playcalling, I am inclined to argue that 10 seconds is more than enough. Someone should have enough of a defensive identity to have an idea of what they will call as soon as the previous play ends. If they are scouring their playbook hunting for a good play they are doing it wrong.

No I just think it will extend the game by several minutes. I'm completely against adding dead time to the game

# 149 ggsimmonds @ 10/07/14 01:51 PM

@ClintOldenburg wait a minute...AI taking sacks was not addressed? This would make me very unhappy man.

@ggsimmonds we looked extensively at that and did not find an issue. So sorry if you're mad

I am speechless.

I don't disagree.....but I do make formation subs on defense....and with 10 seconds...it was damn near impossible. Total race now I can at least get them called...and get my play call done without racing. And I am a huge fan of the new play calling menu.

That's a huge blow to you offline guys. I would say it seems offline CFM pretty worthless

Was this "sacks" issue fixed for online?

# 153 callmetaternuts @ 10/07/14 01:57 PM

Why is that? What changes were made to online that weren't made to offline?

ask him how they feel about that restart bug. i forgot about it in all the hubub, but it wasn't mentioned.

fairly, i was hit and miss with the sacks, some games problem, some not so much.

That's what I'm trying to figure out. I thought the changes made today were changes made to online month ago.

If so, I can live with it. Online has been fine for me, but I want save points.

# 156 TomBo24 @ 10/07/14 01:58 PM

Question for Xbox One players: Are you supposed to be prompted for the new update or does it just automatically update? I wasn't prompted for anything so I'm not sure if I got it.

Utter garbage and a waste of money, They had it perfect last year and this year for some weird and no need reason decide to completey BREAK the finances

Garbage

I'm sorry I was referencing offline because you typically play CPu games. There is no difference.

To me online CFM is not playing CPU

Patch notes say online hot fixes were included in patch. I would think the stat fix, sacks, and USER pass rush fix were part of that. I don't think finances were touched anywhere

So what differences are you saying the offline guys would be missing?
