Patch addressing gameplay issues.. to make them worse
I'm sorry, I know I am in the minority here and EA are doing these patches with the competetive head to head and MUT players in mind, or at the very least the players who play USER vs CPU, but as someone who is part of the CPU vs CPU community I am terrified to try the game after reading the patch notes for this update.
My two major things for me that were the biggest issues in CPU vs CPU where:
1. Sacks being out of control with 10-15 sacks/game not being uncommon
2. QB scrambles being extremelly over powered and facing Justin Fields for example ment that you were getting torched for over 150 yards on the ground AT LEAST. This was not just QBs who are very big scrambling threats, even decently athletic scramblers would go off for between 50-100 yeards on the ground at a regular basis. Defenders are extremelly slow at reacting to these scrambles, which was a HUGE problem.
These were things I was hoping would be addressed with this patch. Instead, I real the notes and see:
1. "Improved pass rushing with the re-introduciton of SUPER WINS for defenders" Cool.. so more sacks to be expected then. Guess getting 10-15/game isn't enough.
2. "Increased QB acceleration on scrambles". In case you thought that having your defenders being extremelly slow and letting the QB scramble for 20 yeards a pop wasn't enough, we now have even FASTER qbs so now it's maybe 30 yard scrambles on the regular?
I don't know.. Again, I know I am in the minority here and I'm sure there are MUT and H2H players who think this is great but I am worried this is going to make the game absolutely unplayable for us CPU vs CPU players. This all sounds like they are things that are going to be impossible to fix or counteract with sliders.
