What has improved regarding CPU defense?


Has Int's being reset fixed yet? when you save a game in-progress?


Thanks.

We go through this every yr they don't know how to fix anything.

I didn't have many noticeable problems pre-patch but tonight after downloading the patch in getting the "username not found" thing and no audio whatsoever. This is terrible.

Oddly enough, after installing the patch it out all my volume settings on zero. That's fixed, but I still have the username thing going on.

For me outside runs were a bit too easy but now after the patch I feel there's a good balance..

As far as int reset I never really had a problem with that....

I just feel some things are a bit smoother nothing really major but I like....

Ok, since the patch everything is hacked up. After perusing everything this username not found thing has set everything(volume, skiers, penalties,etc) to zero. It doesn't recognize my profile at all and everything I load the game it goes back to this despite my saving everything.

Has this happened to anyone else? Anyone know of a fix?

Few things I noticed:

1. They gave the CPU a block shed boost. They shed blocks way too quick now. 32 rushing attempts for 80 yards with the Bears against the Titans ? Come on man. If it was legit, I wouldn't have a problem with it, but as soon Forte got the ball, 2 defensive linemen instantly shed their blocks. That was pissing me off the whole game.

Special teams ? Forget about it, you get no blocking at all now. Might as well call fair catch all game long.

2. CPU got a pursuit and reaction boost as well. They make up ground very fast now and DON'T MISS, EVER. You will see a linebacker 7 yards away, your RB get the ball, they in the backfield 1 second later. And the real kicker is, they don't even be blitzing. So you think ok this will be a nice size hole, nope, instant block shed kicks in for defensive lineman and warp speed LBs kick in. Hole closed and you are swarmed from all sides...

3. CPU WRs get way better separation on passing plays then USER WRs. I noticed this quite well.

4. Player sense seems to have been watered down and nerfed a lot. Saw a handful of plays where the CPU ball carrier would run out of bounds even though the nearest defender was 5 yards away. Over all just a lot of brain dead running by the CPU ball carriers. On 1 on 1 situation instead of trying to avoid the defender like they did before the patch, now they just run directly into the defender and ALLOW THEMSELVES to be tackled.

One play in particular, 5 yards to the left and right of the only defender within 15 yards was nothing but wide open space. I watched Chris Johnson run directly into the defender. Didn't try to evade him, avoid him or nothing. It was like he said here I am, I give up, come tackle me the very last defender stopping me from scoring a TD.

5. I didn't see not ONE broken tackle the entire game by either team. Players went down with 1st contact. CPU ball carriers didn't even attempt to break any either.
