What one thing do you most want to see fixed in the final build vs the demo?

[jpdavis82]

I say players bumping into each other post-play. Watching the game on Spectate is almost like watching a game on TV if you get the game speed right, but then you see the players bumping into each other and it's disappointing. Do you think this could be patched if it's not fixed in the final build?

QB's movement being slower

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they will be able to do something to make the defense line up over slot receivers, instead of just ignoring them like they do a lot of the time.

Though in the back of my mind I'm thinking it may be something too complex to get in this year's game.

If I understand you correctly you are wanting like smart AI that will audible to nickel D packages or something if they are lined up in a 3-4 at first. Is that what you're talking about?

Big hits toned way down would be nice

I just watched the Ravens@Steelers first half video EA released and I think I saw maybe one time where they players bumped into each other in a post play cut scene. It happens about 10-15 times at least per game in the demo. As long as it only happens 1-2 times in the final build I will be happy, I'd be thrilled to see it completely gone, but I'm trying to be realistic with my expectations. I also noticed the speed of the game seemed better and I never saw Qb's running like Vick out there. The throwing motions also look a lot more fluid and I'm 99%sure the glitch happening when they throw the ball in the demo is not going to be there in the final build. Replays seem to be longer, closer to real life length and cut scenes don't seem to have the same framerate issues the demo does.

There wasn't any in the demo, lol

A lot more time for defense to make pre-snap adjustments.

I think there will be an option to turn it off, so I'm not worried about that.

For me - they have to fix the blocking. There's too many glitches right now.

No. No audible. Just don't want the D to leave wide outs unaccounted for before the snap.

In real life if the defense is in a 3-4 they'd have the outside backer slide over to the slot receiver, even if that particular LB was assigned to blitz or be in zone coverage. Either that or a safety would come down.

It not only looks bad when it happens, but it also often effects the play, sometimes pretty dramatically.

I'm pretty sure it only happens when zone coverage is called, so who knows maybe it's just a simple matter of making it so the slot guy gets lined up over by the closest LB, safety, or nickel/dime back. I hope so.

edit:



This gets tricky though because I've seen situations where a slot receiver is on the right side of the field, and both a nickel back and a safety are on the left... So they'd either have to shift players in unison, or have one player run to the other side of the field to line up over the slot guy.

In other words, I don't think there's a simple fix for this.

This video actually shows a good example of slot receivers be ignored.

@4:03 Boldin goes in motion to the left side, the CB doesn't follow him and instead stays on his side of the field, and so no one lines up over Boldin. Result: he's wide open on the out pattern.

I suppose the fix would be to have the safety on that side move down closer to the line of scrimmage, to at least disguise the coverage better. Instead Boldin goes pretty much unnoticed until he's a few steps into his route.

edit:

Yeah... Almost 100% sure this happens when zone coverage is called, because @ 8:59 you see the TE go in motion to the slot and the LB follows him. Play called appears to be MLB blitz with man coverage.
