    I'm sorry, but that last patch has really ruined this game

    Another typical game I played last night in my OD. I am OU, the CPU is Colorado.

    1st half. Game is totally realistic. I'm up 21-3 or so going into halftime. I made a couple mistakes, should had more points, but whatever. My Defense is playing well, getting pressure on their QB, my superior DB are playing their inferior WR's closely. I'm running the ball, and passing it successfully.

    2nd half - Uh oh. They come out blazing their QB goes like 12-12 for the half, they have receivers running WIDE open every play regardless of what defense I run....I get no pressure on their QB. I go look at the replays, my DB's who were playing them like white on rice in the 1st half, are now running AWAY from their WRs allowing them to get wide open. WTH???? C'mon EA seriously.

    But wait it gets better....then Landry Jones, who's suddenly not able to avoid getting his passes knocked down by cpu linemen, somehow get's injured for the rest of the game on a hit that occured well after the throw(still dont see why this issue hasn't been tweaked)...backup comes in completes a pass, and my WR has NO ONE in front of him, and fumbles on a shoe string tackle. I'm supremely ticked by this point.... They score again, next thing I know I'm LOSING 25-24 with under 1 min to play.

    This is the kind of stuff I've dealt with seemingly every game since that last patch came out. The cheap fumbling has always been an issue, but combine that with the way the game completely DISREGARDS player ratings when the CPU goes on a tear, and it makes for a eye-rolling "c'mon, WTH is that" type of game.

    Not really. I'm not having this problem. Although I am seeing the absurd late hits on the QBs. It's pretty ridiculous how long after the throw the defense is allowed to pummel your QB without penalty. I feel like the problem is some kind of lag between the time the game is recognizing the hit (when the tackle animation begins) and when the contact is actually represented on screen.

      Not seeing it. Sometimes I think that the CPU goes too far when you've missed a couple receivers, and all of a sudden they're dropping open passes left and right until you hit some short routes. But as for "comeback" AI. I just haven't seen it this year. Not even the last two minutes of the halves where last year it was so prevalent. There are too many fumbles at times, but I set my running to conservative and I almost never fumble unless I'm trying to push or break free.

        What makes you think that anything you just described is due to the most recent patch? The only thing I can think of that could be patch related is the DBs running away from the WRs (if you're playing man defense), but that wouldn't explain why they were playing them like flies on sh*t in the first half.

        It sounds like your main issue is that you were hot in the 1st half and the CPU was hot in the 2nd, but that shouldn't be specific to any of the patches.

          Not seeing it either. The CPU gets hot and cold at certain points in the game, sometimes the CPU is hot all game, sometimes cold all game, same for me.

          I think this is just the case of someone who is mad they gave up a lead and lost, and blames it on the cpu.

            I'm not seeing this AT ALL either.

                Yes I have. I've seen more PI called in my favor then go against me. PI is rare though.

                  This. Also, I've only seen defensive PI calls.

                    Yeah I've yet to see an offensive pass interfence call, in any football game I've played.

                      Not at all. Happens every game over the past few weeks. I cant even blow out sorry teams anymore. I hate adjusting my sliders because it took me a while to get them right, but Im gonna have to.

                      And the CPU running backs will have a couple of runs, where they break 3-4 tackles and wiggle in n out on traffic for a 60 yd TD run. These are not good halfbacks either.-

                        I must be really good at the game, because I've never encountered anything similar. I will say this though, the patch did screw up DB play, but that can be fixed with sliders(haven't tampered with it yet) or running an effective defense.

                          stoncold i have to agree with you .. it's almost impossible on my game to blow teams out even bad teams.. seems like they changed the logic to make games much closer on all american.. i dunno maybe im wrong..

                            when the cpu is completing tons of passes you have to blitz, blitz, blitz to get him out of his rhythm like IRL

                              What difficulty are you playing on? Not that it matters because I've played on both Heisman and AA and haven't seen anything close to what your talking about.

                              Maybe you need to drop the difficulty, or adjust the sliders more in your favor if you keep getting beat to crappy teams.

                              I must have a different game then you.
