Unless they're finally changing their M.O. in terms of how often they release tuners, then I would think that they would want to put more into this one. Skillz is quite perceptive about gameplay and A.I. changes, so I'm going to take a chance and download this tuner and see if their have been other improvements. I can always delete it again if need be.

Would you want them to take an extra week or so to adjust and QA more changes or just release the elements they have as they adjust them.

That is the only Gameplay change on this tuner. Anyone who says different is incorrect and is just seeing what they want to see. I wish there were other adjustments but there are not at this time unfortunately.

This just in:

EA patches players' reaction when playing a football game.

I kill the CPU with the option. Hopefully this makes the option harder.

Then EA has no clue what they're doing. If LB's are reacting differently to the option than blocking ABSOLUTELY MUST be different. The line better be blocking differently depending on where LB's are, or where D-Linemen are or where safeties are. If they're not blocking differently, something is broken. If the QB isn't affected in decision making or where he goes with the ball, something else is broken. There is no such thing as affecting only one thing in gameplay. Tweaking anything SHOULD change something else too...and based on my 5 games since, there are several things different.

THIS. I think its funny that some people get mad because they can't switch to the DB and swat or try to INT the ball. Guess what. If the DB has his back to the ball and can't see the ball, he should not be able to INT the ball. Just because you control him and see the ball doesn't mean the DB sees the ball.

If you go and read the twitter posts that are linked on the first post you would know the same thing. Just because someone plays the damn game and see something different doesnt change the fact that the only tweaked ONE thing. They did not say they changed anything else but the LB stuff. Here is another link https://twitter.com/eancaafootball if you still want to question. SOME PEOPLE!!!

because reading something ea says is always better than what one of the better guys can see with his eyes. in the past and most of know this, ea does alot in the tuners and patches that they dont report. some of it happens because if you change something it will effect something else. they cant help that. just look at sliders. change one then another becomes unbalanced. sometimes they just dont report it. but "some people" should know better by now than to take what EA tweats or facesbooks or whatever as the gospel.

You should probably be able to swat the ball the though. Maybe tie it to awareness but good corners and safeties will sometimes get their hands up to block the ball with their back to it because they can see the wr putting his hands out for it.
