Tune shotgun running ? I doubt it........

If they couldn't tune shotgun running last year or scrambling QBs last year via tuner or patch.......

I doubt they will be able to tune it this year far as shotgun running goes.....

You can't tune whats not in the engine. And apparently running out of the spread offense isn't in their engine. Because out of all the videos I seen, everytime the cpu try to run out of the shotgun it is automatic 5 yard lost.

This

And that's a perfect analogy

I don't play demos or get up in arms about early builds, but my thinking is the same on this issue. Given how poorly these things were implemented in NCAA 11, I would have thought that these glaring gameplay flaws would have already been totally fixed in even the early builds that they chose to allow the public to see.

Its seems that these things were not a high priority issue for them, which to me is totally inexplicable, given how greatly it affects games vs. the CPU.

Were there not enough people on the gameplay team or enough time in the development cycle to fix the zones, exponentially reduce the suctioning/warping, and fix CPU shotgun/read option logic.

For some reason the Ducks can't seem to get any type of ground game going out of the shotgun, yet other CPU teams I saw at E3 with similar offenses were pretty dynamic.

I hope this is the case.

Well I missed 90% of the Upstream, so I thought I would look through the responses here.

I will say that this site has gone down quite a bit on the discussion side compared to about 4 years ago.
I don't know how or why, but now it seems that even those on Staff have taken to the road of "Attacking" in their responses.

I wanted to read about good discussion about the demo, but found little info to help me to get an idea on the 90% I missed.

Oh well!!

It seems from most gamer reponses that Player Ratings and Sliders will need tweaking again to get Shotgun/Option Teams to behave somewhat better.
-And to think that there is some serious reason why we can't edit recruit ratings during Dynasty play to help in this area.

Also seems like RTG is this year's "New Slogan" they've chosen to ride as the big draw.
-I'm sure I'll find something fun about it as I always do with any sports game.

I like that he said that FATIGUE will be a factor.
My concern is that this will only showcase within RTG and not Dynasty.

I know that YouTube will be flooded with Demo breakdown's by June 29th.
It will be fun to see.

Especially since Oregon has double the rushing yards of their opponents last season.

Take note Chase!

It seems that you are the only one who doesn't get it as I am reading money post after money post.

I meant for HS teambuilder teams, I know about the college part. If I create my high school team with a 4-2-5 defense and a pro offense will that carry over to RTG? That's what I asked.

The truth is, you do not know how it will turn out.

Can we not infer that things that have been wrong in the game for 4-5 years, and are still present in this footage, probably aren't going to be fixed in the 1-2 months between this build and the final build?

Let's say you've taken that same car into the shop for one month every summer. Let's also say that the turn blinkers on that car have been broken for 5 years. Well, if you show me video that the blinkers still don't work a week before you're supposed to pick up the car, is it not reasonable to assume that they're probably not going to work again? Yeah, you don't know for sure, but if I had to put money on it, I'm going to say the blinkers will be busted again.

Also, would it be out of line for you to ask the mechanic, "Any chance you're going to get to the blinkers this year? That new coat of paint looks really good, but I'd like to be able to change lanes without getting yelled at by other drivers this year."

# 170 Hova57 @ 06/21/11 02:53 PM

I get the concern how about instead of the sky is falling reaction we start a thread of the possible fixes for the demo seeing that we can get atleast one tuner uploaded before the game comes out.

Holy vendetta.

I like how you've turned me pointing out your poor trolling attempt into some grander point about how I'm saying people can't have an opinion about potential gameplay issues.

All you're doing is riding the coattails of others as they actually use sentences and a thought process to write out what you were apparently unable to do in your own words.

Again, you being a bad troll does not mean there are not points to be made. It just means you need to improve your game.

Fair enough. In that case my advice would be to sell the car and not buy another that you think will have the same faults. Likewise, sell NCAA 11 and do not buy 12 if you think it's going to have the same flaws. Then you can stop posting and complaining about this year's game.

Hopefully it turns out better then Fight Night Champions demo live tuners exchange. They started off strong but quickly abandoned ship and started blaming everybody in the world for why their game is the way it is.

You know what brother it is all good and fun. I always enjoy reading your reviews and I look forward to your NCAA 12 review. Keep up the good work!

No, they'll save that for the next gen of consoles where we have to start from scratch and the cycle begins again anyway. Until then, they are just going to pile on fixes on top of a weak foundation.

Honestly, after the stream, I don't really notice much of a difference from 11. Besides the new ESPN overlays and improved tackling... ahhh yea. I'll still probably play it, but man. There is just SOMETHING missing from this game and I can't figure it out.

Man "early build" has to be one of the most overused terms on these forums. Up there with "moving in the right direction."

Anyway what are the demo matchups gonna be?
