Latest Patch - Ok, is there more of an admission of issues?
The latest patch does a much better job of blocking decisions and reactions.
- I will say OL who just dance and do nothing in pass protection is mostly gone
- Outside rusher often get the edge when another rusher is overloaded on the same edge with the OL completely missing both rushers
- Blocking HBs still move forward into the line and often get lost and become useless
In my 3 games posts-patch I broke every blocking scheme on every play including computer controlled teams. I only saw a few cases of what I would have considered broken logic. Before the patch, it was really bad. I mean really bad. EA, how did this escape your testing processes. That is a problem internally.
Madden drops in 6 hours. I'm guessing the broken logic will still exist in Madden even at launch. Perhaps the PR hasn't be cherry-picked to Madden code yet. I don't know how I feel about this especially there is almost no reaction to the forums here when real issues are being reported.
