Not trying to toot my own horn, but I'm coming off a game on Heisman in which I had seven sacks and the CPU was 10 of 24. I mean, seriously, you're still getting lit up by the CPU? That's like playing MGS4 and not knowing how to get past the first act. How many different guys need to come here and post about how they're not seeing this "issue" before all you chumps, sucking your own football IQ scroats, realize it's you and not the game? Granted, pass defense is difficult, it's a challenge, to be sure, but it sure as hell isn't "broken" or even close to that, and that's the point. Are you even aware that you control the entire defense? Did you see this post of mine, speaking of your "987" vids?

I was going to respond to this in whatever thread you initially posted it, but I can't find it so I'll post here instead.

Your "theory" is stupid. All that your video shows is terrible pursuit logic by the playside DE. That's it. It doesn't "prove" that you're in control of the entire defense. It "proves" that DEs are incompetent and often take horrible angles.

Second, aside from controlling the DT, how do you "control" the defense? If you control an LB or S, how does it work? It doesn't.

Third, anytime that the human player has to manually control in order to get his players to carry out basic assignments, such as not running away from the ballcarrier (assuming the human can even do so), it is, by DEFINITION an AI problem.

And I'm really tired of people playing the CPU and saying that pass defense isn't broken. The computer is stupid and never throws deep. It's pretty easy to adjust your defense accordingly to be entirely focused on short passes in order to shut it down. I don't even get how it's fun to play the computer given how terrible it is at the game. It makes retarded calls on defense, never adapts on offense, and is ONLY competitive because it flat out cheats to win on high difficulty settings.

Play online, against an intelligent opponent (doesn't have to be a cheeser, just anybody that can read a defense), and tell me that pass defense isn't broken. Seriously, I want to see you do it.

what the hell? Guys this thread is about the patches not a bugs/glitches thread and not a gameplay discussion thread. Please stop cluttering this thread with back and forth bickering about what is or isn't wrong with the game so that those who are looking for info regarding the patches can find it.

I guess we'll have to start deleting posts in this thread that are off-topic and start handing out infractions to those who keep posting off-topic. This is ridiculous. These debates you guys are having can be found in plenty of other threads, no need to bring them into this one.

Wow, I think that deserves an infraction....

All of your insulting would be valid, if not for the FACT that EA has admitted the gameplay is not right. They admitted that the OL/DL interaction is messed up....they supposedly patched the DB awareness on certain routes, and zone coverage AI as well.

So your argument that nothing is wrong is invalid.

Patch 1 is already available for both PS3/360. Just start up the game while connected to either Live or PSN and the game will prompt you to install the patch. Patch 1 fixed the roster issues.


Patch 2 has been submitted to MS/Sony for final approval and is estimated to be available either the last week of August or the first week of September. Please note DATE SUBJECT TO CHANGE

Patch 2 will address:

since this thread has gotten so far off-topic and has become difficult to find any info regarding the patches, since one had to sort through some of the "other" posts, this thread will be locked. All known info is contained in this post.

Adam/CD, if you have any additional info, please PM a mod and we'll open the thread back up. Until then...

Temporarily closed.
