I blame global warming...wait, didn't Al Gore invent that too???

I would suggest throwing out your slider sets all except for maybe QB accuracy. With CPU defense sliders at default except for ints, I was held to 31 points. I would've scored 80 points against default sliders pre-patch.

I have no idea where any of you are saying that zones are any different at all than they were before. They're basically exactly the same as they've always been. Safeties in deep zones are useless and defenders in hook zones more or less give up easy completions underneath everytime.

Probably more importantly though is the fact that the pass rush is basically non-existent for human controlled teams on default All-American, so good luck stopping anybody if you like to play online. You can't control a DE and manually try to get pressure because of the aforementioned problems with coverage, and any player of any skill is going to pass all over you unless you at least manually take away one or two things. But with the absolute lack of pass rush, they will have all day to throw virtually everytime, so unless they stupidly throw into coverage when they don't have to, then you aren't going to stop them. You can try to blitz and catch them offguard, but if you go to that well too many times then eventually they're going to recognize it and hit you for big gains.

The root of this problem is that EA essentially nerfed the "DL aggressive" setting. You basically can't use it now because it results in offsides virtually every time. And without getting the AI to jump the snap, there's never any penetration or pass rush.

They either need to make the DL Aggressive setting work like it used to (where you almost never got drawn off) or (probably more realistically) need to seriously up the defensive pass rush ability for AI controlled players on human teams.

I am thinking the delay by microsoft, is a last minute push by Gates to get Harvard in the game. Figuring he never graduated from there, he is elated at the chance of running with Erin Andrews in Road to glory, bringing Harvard to national prominence in year two.

Or, the developers are streaming any backlash from the PS3 community before release, in order to make any tweaks(guinea pigs). I pray man coverage is not going to be a sore spot, like I have read in previous posts.

I personally think nothing is going to change with the QB Accuracy. They are going to continue to sit pretty at 10 CPU and 15 User

[buckeye02]

So how is the pass rush and pass defense for the user against the CPU?

Anyone have a good set of post patch 3 an tuner 3 sliders???

Or has a series of patches made the game unplayable for the 2nd year in a row???
