Re: Title Update 5 (10/24): Will Someone Please Provide Dynasty Mode Feedback

Abbreviated Patch Notes just released for Title Update 5 (10/24) pertaining only to gameplay, Dynasty, and general presentation and team updates. There are additional notes with relation to Road to Glory, Teambuilder, and Ultimate Team, however, personally do not engage in those modes.

Gameplay
 
General
 
Refreshed the Ability Loadouts of players in Front End Rosters.
Reduced the frequency of pitches out of tackles missing the pitch back.
Fixed aftershock ability inappropriately triggering on blocks.
 
Alignment
 
Fixed an issue where using a Cover 3 Shell on a Cover 1 Blitz play vs Empty Base Flex or Trio would result in the Tight End being left open.
Fixed an issue where using a Two High Coverage Shell (Cover 2, Cover 4, etc.) on Nickel Over Double Bracket would cause the defense to align in a single high safety look.
Fixed an issue where using a Cover 2 Coverage Shell on a Cover 1 play would result in the Tight End being left unguarded.
Fixed an issue where using a Cover 0 Coverage Shell on Cover 2 Man vs Empty Base, Empty Chip, or Empty Quads would result in the inside receiver being left unguarded. 
 
Coverage
 
Added Box Call logic to Cover 4 Quarters and Cover 4 Palms to better Cover Bunch Formation route combinations.
Fixed an issue where giving a Safety on the left side of the field the Outside Third L Defensive Hot Route would assign him to play outside third on the other side of the field.
Fixed an issue where some press animations would press the receiver 10 yards down the field.
 
Pass Blocking
 
Addressed an issue where using the Defensive Linemen Slant Inside Command would cause defenders to rush into the same gap.
Changed the functionality of Defensive Linemen Shifts on Double A Gap defensive formations to eliminate unrealistic alignments.
Fixed an issue where Pass Block targeting lines were not appearing when the user would enter Pass Block adjustments.
Added new logic for Defenders to no longer be able to instantly disengage to the outside if they are given the Slant Inside D-Line Adjustment pre-snap.

    Reinstalled the game again earlier today to test for Title Update changes. All of the previous sock option selections (colored, black, or special) for nearly every team are still completely broken. As stated in numerous other posting to this discussion forum, this issue should be both an easier patch than other issues, and preventable from corruption in future updates. What is the most egregious with this problem, is that EA developers spent the resources last week to update uniform options for many teams, and neglected to address the sock selection option. For example, Illinois received the new 100th Anniversary pack, and actually the special sock option associated with that choice functions after the Title Update, however, the orange sock option that was broken more than ten weeks ago, is still present for Kick Off, Dynasty, and presumably Ultimate Team. Apparently, developers could not be bothered to spend an additional ten minutes to patch that issue, when already in the game coding (programming) engine for that team. At this point, will uninstall the game, and wait until Thanksgiving (Title Update 6), then proceed with preliminary testing again. Must assume that custom conference field and jersey logos are still broken, in addition to bowl ranking, polls, and simming engine.
