- Fixed an issue with toss/sweep plays when game speed was set to Slow

I have run 3 different toss plays from separate formations on "SLOW" gamespeed and did not experience the hitch that slows down the HB.

Not sure if this was a coincidence:

In less than 5 minutes of gameplay:
2 false starts (setting 55)
1 offsides (setting 70)
1 defense facemask (setting 29)

Hopefully the hiccup in the fast speed was fixed for this as well.

Has anybody started a new franchise to see if IR was fixed? Just curious...sitting at my desk job itching to get off to check out the update but interested in any changes that weren't listed in the OP.

Anyone know if the patch will affect existing CFMs with a draft class already imported or does it take affect on the classes your following year?

I don't know about online, but an offline franchise, you can put someone on IR, but it DOES NOT free up a roster spot. Making IR rather useless.
