Overpatched

So I really appreciate the removal of the speed boost glitch. I feel like it was much needed, however, I have found a problem. I feel like players are no longer able to really accelerate. Jogging feels the exact same as sprinting when pressing the Turbo button, no matter how fast that player is I was testing this in one of the dynasties that I am in and the speed balancing feels really off. I was using Dwight Phillips Jr, who is a 95 speed/97 Acc HB. I threw the ball to him in the flats, and turned up, filled to get more yards, but the Turbo button felt exactly like the player movement without it being touched. His sprint felt and looked more like a jog and as a result of, he was chased down by Myron Robinson, who is a 89 speed/91 Acc MLB. Mind you, Myron was a good distance away from Dwight when this happened. They were not in close proximity of one another when the ball was caught, yet he was still chased down because the white Philip could not sprint. I have also experienced this with other teams and other players, so this is not something exclusive to this one game mode or player. Now, I’m not saying that I want the speed boost to come back at all, because I personally hated it and I am glad it’s out of the game. However, I feel like there should be a significant difference in between running without pressing Turbo and running while pressing Turbo. Right now it really feels like there is no difference. Even running the ball in practice mode against an open field feels like there is no difference at all between a jog and a sprint…… please rebalance this, because I feel like this got over patched…. Speed should still matter in this game.

  • If you bought the game on disc or Steam, you can try reverting back to the OOTB version.

    My RTG HB with 98 speed/99 acceleration felt like he was running in quicksand while d-lineman were able to chase him down.  Every time they patch something, it creates more issues.  Hate to say this, but they should wait 2 years to release a new game because year-to-year creates the same issues

    Yes everyone feels so much slower now. You can’t break off a long run. You can’t get to the edge and turn the corner. Even on kick returns you could have daylight and get caught from behind.
