Re: September Title Update

I like it. Seems like they attempted to help zone coverages.

Also says there will be more zone specific tuning coming in the future.

Re: September Title Update

Tuning to increase the ‘break-on-ball’ reaction times for zone coverage defenders
DEV NOTE: Based on player feedback, we’ve increased the break-on-ball reaction time by two tenths of a second. You can expect Superstars and X-Factors to break consistently on the QB’s arm movement based on their specific coverage abilities. For players without abilities, the Zone Coverage (ZCV) rating will determine how quickly and how frequently they will react to passes when in zone coverage; the Man Coverage (MCV) rating will do the same if they’ve converted to man via any Match zone. This change will make zone defenders more aggressive and will apply to all game styles: Competitive, Simulation and Arcade. There will be more zone-specific tuning coming in a future title update.

It wasn’t just the slow reactions that were a problem, but let me give this a look.

Re: September Title Update

Hit stick nerf is huge. Those were out of hand and they suctioned way too much. That should be a big fix for the game.


I'm going to pretend like this kickoff mode doesn't exist because it continually frustrates me how much they devote resources to anything and everything not named CFM

Re: September Title Update

Like the work on coverage, but not sure that's going to help the stop, stuttering, or running the wrong way of the defender in the secondary for the user in certain situations & scenarios. We'll see what happens though.

Re: September Title Update

I really like the break on ball. Hopefully it leads to improved pass coverage.

Wonder how the Pat Tillman ability work as far as getting teammates in zone. Does that imply to only superstar xfactor players?

Not sure I how I feel about Return ability. Those players will be able to maneuver effortlessly without losing speed.

Re: September Title Update

Nice. The game, IMO, plays very nice right now. I love the hit stick fix and zone coverage as well.

Also cool that they added two new X factor traits.

Yea and it kinda adds more to xfactor abilities that were suppose to be unique and rare to a player. Now it just sounds like they're trying to have more players be xfactors.

Re: September Title Update

Hopefully it's not just reactions to the ball in the air, but more so the reaction to the route being run. The sudden sprint to the sidelines or upfield is what really hurts pass coverage, and can result in big gains.

Re: September Title Update

Does that break on ball adjustment also affect pump fake effectiveness?

Re: September Title Update

This is where abilities being tied to dev traits is awful. In order for a good kick returner to get the returner ability they need to be a superstar dev which will turn them in to a pro bowl WR.

I am a fan of the return ability. It needs some help. The kickoff has been a formality for a while now with no variation. Never seemed to matter who you put back there.

Is it only for kickoffs or punts as well? It would be nice if they have one for punts as well. I wish there was a catch punt rating to help distinguish punt returners. How many times have you seen a guy struggle just to catch a punt.

I agree with your comment. Kick returners may not be particularly good at anything else yet will have to be in this setup. I had not considered that until now.

I believe it is for both.
But after thinking about it, returns for CPU have been lackluster. My question is that can non-superstar players get that ability. Because most of the elite returners arent superstars.
