      Just in time for the 53 man roster update and fire up my CFM! I think I'm going to play more CFM than MUT this year.

      Doesn't look like much gameplay was touched which isn't necessarily bad. I guess Sim stats for tackles are bad causing regression issues still. Rookie WRs have inflated speed.

      Overall I am very satisfied with that list.

      1. Encroachment bug
      2. Injured QB commentary
      3. LT regression bug
      4. attributes over 100 bug

      If that all works I will be happy. In my heart of hearts I was really hoping for a formation subs patch, or at the very least changes saving from week-to-week but I was also realistic that it probably would not happen.

      Jaymo, the LT regression bug is still in the game. Bit it's not really regression. It's the Sim engine. They project massive sacks allowed which causes them to regress badly.
