what exactly does player lock do?

It "locks on" to the player your controlling, giving you an over-the-shoulder, behind the back view during a play. It's best on defense, IMO.

Ya it's pretty fun, but if you're trying to be serious an win a game against a human or tough CPU opponent it kinda sucks.

I disagree, I use player lock 90% of the time on defense and it makes it more fun even if it's a tough game, because you can't just be superman all over the field, also you can't actually use it against another human player.

So I haven't played the demo in awhile. I played maybe 10 games the first two days it was out and then abandoned it. I got bored so did two games. The first I was Ohio State and destroyed Miami (on AA).

The second I was Clemson against Mizzou, again on AA.

My QB was terribly inaccurate and when he actually threw to where he was supposed to the receiver would drop it. My RB got shoestring tackled and he violently fumbled the ball. The CPU could do no wrong though, my players simply slid of them when trying to tackle. Robo-QB and sticky finger WRs.

In the last drive I'm on the ~15. All 4 downs my players catch the ball in the endzone, wide open and immediately drop them... this would have been for the win.

Can't tell you how much it felt like 10 where the CPU is scripted to be unbeatable some games. Hopefully their adjustments they made to retail fixes that. I know there's sliders, but it just feels weak that you have to make your players into superman for them to catch the easiest of passes.


All the other games I had played were perfectly fine, with only small bugs that have already been addressed. This was the only game where I had super CPU.

I wouldn't know; I've never bought NCAA before, so to me, this is brand new, and I love it.

I think player lock is perfect if your playing the CPU offline

Think about it you can only be one guy on the field if your playing on a team...so why not control one guy in the game on defense?

That doesn't make any sense because even on offense after the ball is snapped unless you switching to a blocker and then back to the player who has the ball your only controlling ONE PLAYER.....I highly doubt many people are switching off on offense while the play is in action. You mainly just control the guy with the ball. Even as the QB for me I make the throw to the WR but I don't switch to the WR and make him catch the ball. That WR has to catch the ball himself and if his ratings give him a average catch ability I"m not going to boost him up by making the catch for him.

But hey if you like controlling all 11 defenders then more power to you....

Some of us enjoy using the no switch rule or player lock because it actually allows the players to perform more based on their actual in game assigned ratings since not switching off from defender to defender your just controlling the actions of the one player.

Am I the only one who has noticed that the RT is a matador in pass protection vs. a user DE?

Its really glaring. Hope that is cleaned up, other wise we are going to be seeing a lot of user jump snap with the DE on that side.

I've only played as a MLB, so I haven't experience this yet. I will run some tests later. Do you use player-lock when playing as the DE?
