also i see the DBs are a lot better but why do the WRs drop more balls and the DBs are still beating my WRs to the spot before i throw the ball...

This is the single reason I stopped playing madden in the first place. Without dropping the pass defense awareness below the CPU always beat my guy to the spot. IMO, this isn't real.

Stopped getting pressure on the QB after the patch. I had to drop CPU pass block from 20 to 17, now its playing out the same as before. I also had to drop CPU rush D reaction from 18 down to 16, A.I seemed to be blowing up more plays than they should've after the patch.

After those small changes I'm back to where I was pre patch 5, which is good thing.

The pass rush may be a little better, but nothing crazy

Only if you do not modify the sliders on All Madden. Even then this is hard to believe that anybody would be that bad in Madden

Enjoy the game

Seems like this patch might be tuned for slow playing speed, not normal playing speed?

Does anyone have a quote from Ian and co. about which speed the gameplay is tuned for in general?

I don't get what you mean about dropping pass defense--for you or CPU? CPU lower than you or you lower than CPU?

Because the AI knows every play you call, When the CPU wants, it will have guys waiting for where you are going to run or pass. The decision of whether or not the play is successful depends on what the AI/CPU wants.

The other thing I've noticed over 16 seasons is the CPU favors certain players; in addition, it makes yo-yo CPU players have 99 acceleration--B or C rated.

The game was developed to be played on slow (M10 was the first year), though through all the b****** it was bumped up to normal again ala M09 (not quite as fast, but obviously quicker than slow). Then people wonder why offensive players cut on a dime, can weave etc. When I play unranked custom games on slow those issues are limited as well as the defensive locomotion troubles. Oh well...
