post patch impressions

is anyone else seeing that? i watch countless replays and saw 3 of my 4 DL break their blocks at the exact time the ball was handed off

I've been seeing this a bunch. I can still get a decent number of yards per game, but the defense is almost psychic in their run coverage.

I played a game with Florida against USF and only won 9-3 because I just could not move the ball. Demps was averaging like 1.1 YPC. Their D-line would just jailbreak through my line and get TFLs. In that same OD someone lost with Oregon to Tenn. I think James had negative rushing yards on 21 carries. I noticed the same thing before the patch too, but only if you had run blocking too low or the cpu's rush d slider too high.

It's not really surprising. Problem: Rushing the ball is too easy. Solution: Make the defense know the run is coming, and make the DL completely dominate the OL. Typical EA. Same company that "improved" man coverage by making dbs run routes better than wideouts.

my heismen sliders are playing real nice...thank god cause i dont want to mess around with sliders. in my new dynasty my custom schedule had OSU at Notre Dame. It was tough defensive game i won 17-13.

it played very well and i only had to raise hum pass rush cause there less than great line was pancaking cam heyward all game. their QB had way to much time to make his passes.

next game was Miami at OSU. i won 34-0 which was extremely disappointing. again the game played very well. i only had 1 big play, a 39 TD pass. Miami just couldnt sustain any drives. Their stats totals were fine for the game. It was tight thru the first quarter and a half. i went up 10-0 with about 3 mins left in the 2nd and they fumbled the kick off giving me the ball at their 15. scored to make it 17-0. I got a FG to end the half at 20-0.

3rd starts and i get the ball. a grind it out drive that took about 430 to make it 27-0. they got a drive going but it ended with a fumble. i scored again and it was 34-0.

they just couldnt muster anything. Neither team could in the first half but then untimely plays and turnovers allowed me to get points. Stats would say the game was super close. They ran well, but just not enough as their HB 1 was 7 for 55 yards. They kept at their dink and dunk passing game but couldnt hit the key 3rd down plays.

final score was shit, but i am happy with how the sliders played. im gonna start a thread for the sliders if anyone wants to use them

Glad I just ordered this game, I thought it was good this year? WTF? Should I just stick to '10?
