Good to see you playing in a better stadium finally!

What's your take on the patch and LTP #2? Effective? How dirty are unis getting? Is the change in awareness and accuracy enough to change sliders?

Also, in the old thread that was closed, someone said the Read Option was still broken. I call BS on that one. I run that play at least 25% of the time and its not designed to break 50 yard runs everytime. It works as intended if you make the right read. I love the Read Option at this point.

This is more of a response to someone in the deleted patch #2 thread who stated that he thought the PA pass was still broken. These are all in the first half of the game with default All-American sliders.

They also show off dirty uniforms in a clear game.

You could do the same pre-patch because there was never an all or nothing with PA. FWIW, I believe the sliders just need to change for post-patch versus pre-patch to change the effectiveness of play action. Pass rush in general plays different, pursuit plays different, etc.

okay it looks as if somehow dirty uniforms were left out of the PS3 patch. I'm playing Alabama @ Auburn in the pouring rain. It is the third quarter.....nothing!

Again, the comment was in reference to CPU AI, not User AI. I love the play in User played games as well.

I can run a Fake Punt Pass and make it work as a User... you're controlling the players.

Alright, played one game at OU in light rain, and nothing happened.

I'm gonna try Kentucky vs Louisville like the guy above posted in medium rain.....

This is PS3 by the way

Update: From the beginning of th egame, the field is already a bit degraded. Which was not the case in Oklahoma for some reason. Maybe it has to be medium rain to work?

Great that several issues were fixed. However, I didn't see some major problems on that list:

1. Has play-action passing been tuned so that you don't get sacked 85 percent of the time?

2. Has blocking on punt and kickoff returns been adjusted to allow for more yardage?

3. Have they fixed the schedule issue where some schools have only 11 games, including some (Wisconsin and Washington State, included, I believe) that are missing a conference game?

CPU pass coverage appears to be better.

FYI - I am using the Varsity sliders in the OS Legends OD thread.

No, you couldn't. Believe me, I tried. I didn't even upload all of my playaction attempts. I had 6 overall, and only on one did I have to unload quick due to pressure, and that was on a six man rush. Pre-patch, I'd have a lineman in my face nearly every time, even on a 4-man rush, because the OL would do the Electric Slide and let the D waltz right in the pocket.

I think the reduced blitzing from the CPU is also partially at play with my PA success.

Re: NCAA Patch #2 Official

I am looking at the generated recruits right now, and this looks the same. Still a lot of low agility and elusiveness ratings e for WR's. Not that I really expected it to be changed. Elusiveness may be a design choice, but don't see the purpose of having the agility ratings low as well.

I am noticing one change with the generated recruits and that is it looks like speed across the board is higher. I see a ton of 40 times in the sub 4.4 range. Granted I didn't pay close attention before to what the 40 times looked like, but I don't remember the 40 times being this high across the board. Looks a little overinflated to me.

Thank you, blue. I got to my first class, post-tuner, and discovered the same thing. No change to ELU and AGI.

Look at my last two posts in this thread for visual evidence and further explanation.

Re: NCAA Patch #2 Official

I'm at work so I can't check this. I've put my dynasty on hiatus until the progression stuff was fixed. After LTP1, a lot of it was fixed, but they said that they wouldn't fix the kickers until the patch. Could someone test out this part of the patch?

Tuned Kick Power and Kick Accuracy of progression of kickers and punters in Dynasty Mode

This makes it sound like KPW and KAC will progress more, but I'm curious if the recruits have been fixed to start out with more KPW and KAC. Did the majority of kickers go from this from FR -> SR:
KPW: 50 -> 60

to this:
KPW: 50 -> 90

or this:

KPW: 70 -> 90?

Since most teams only carry 1 kicker, if they only fixed progression, then it sounds like teams could still have a year or 3 of very poor kickers.

Thanx!

Re: NCAA Football 11 Patch #2 Available with Details, Post Your Impressions Here

I took a little deeper look at the 40 times. I count 124 players with a 40 time of 4.4 or under. Acceleration looks about the same at least to somewhat balance out the speed.

With that said ,were there that many guys with sub 4.4's before the tuner/patch? Just seems like a pretty high number.

124 guys out of over 2500 recruits, seems perfectly realistic to me.
