Yes, the patch that is coming out next is dealing more with gameplay issues than this patch did.

However, this patch had a few gameplay fixes as well.

All I know is that I was craving more time for the online ranked games. Before, it was almost impossible to establish a good running attack over the course of a game if you fell behind. Now you can have a gameplan and execute it, setting things up for later in the game

On the other hand, they might want to dial down those sideline catch cutscenes. I love um and everything, but I saw about 8 during one game, most of the time, no referee conference was needed lol

I just played my first game with the new patch and even though they didn't change a whole lot it seems to make the game much more realistic. I played a fantasy draft franchise game with the Raiders and my defense wasn't all it should have been but I guess that happens in real life. I was playing on all-madden and for once the CPU didn't intercept every ball they touched, they probably dropped 3 before I gave them an easy pick. I think the running game may have been amped up a little bit too much I had McFadden and Wells combine for 200 yards rushing, though I guess behind a good o-line that could happen.

Something really strange happened, Jon Beason got injured on a play where he was in a zone near the goal line, nothing out of the ordinary happened. Actually, there wasn't anyone within a 10 yard radius of him the play was incomplete on the other side of the field and boom. . . He breaks his jaw and is out for 4 weeks. Anyone else have any mysterious injuries like this?

So I've noticed that they still haven't fixed the issue with the clock not stopping when being forced out of bounds. I've never been one to say something could be a gamebreaker, let alone post about it but how is this not addressed in the patch? This kills 2 min drills which kills the drama in late comebacks.



Sorry for the terrible quality. My camera sucks and to make matters worse I was playing in the AFL mode.

Nevertheless! When they tackle Maroney and he drags the defender out of bounds the clock was at :08 and they actually allow it to run off to :07 after he finally goes down (so I was thinking alright there goes a second but a least the clock will stop) and if the replay didn't cut off, you'd see the ref making the motion to keep the clock running. This has happened to me continuously and I just don't understand why this wasn't big enough for EA to put into the first patch let alone the game as is out of the box.

Dont know if this has been posted. Just played Eagles (Me) @ Panthers and I noticed incomplete passes on the field stopped the clock but incomplete passes that were thrown out of bounds do not stop the clock.

Surprised however, that the CPU actually had some offense. I give this patch a reasonable 8.5/10.

anyone else noticing a huge increase in broken tackles for both human and cpu? also, run blocking and pass blocking are both vastly improved, which imo is a good thing for the run game, but not so good for the pass game.

Pros: Saw the nice sideline cutscene. never seen that 1 b4. Broadcast cam was cool. Still needs work like its too far away. should zoom in on players when they are running for touchdown, also should zoom in on QB's walking to the line then zoom back out when hes ready to hike. Blocking seemed some what better. Man coverage and zone coverage is way better IMO.

Cons: The guy got the completion with the sideline animation. tho i still didnt see a toe drag animation. Also my game froze twice in a row in my online franchise. Ive seen records of this happening on the forums since todays patch. Defender pursuit angles still lack while running away from o-line. Break Tackles seemed to hav increased alot.


All in all, good patch but hopefully 2nd patch fixes the rest. Even tho i dont understand why we would hav to w8 months for the game to be worth $60.
