Things that you are going to love since you can now edit in Dynasty mode

[Playmakers]

Without getting to deep into ratings these are just some of the things you have the ability to adjust this year with a key rating listed by me

Every video posted is that of the CPU AI after edits to NCAA 11 which should still carry over to NCAA 12 if needed.

The ability to make Offensive Linemen smarter especially while blocking on the move and making the correct block as you'll see by the Penn St RG Mike Munchak.....(AWR + IBL)

EA Sports: NCAA Football 11 Video

The Ability to make LB's or for that matter any defender more ordinary in their leaping ability....Vol's LB Al Wilson reacts to the pass but his jump rating was reduced down to 60 takes away the super man leaping ability makes the result of the play look very realistic

EA Sports: NCAA Football 11 Video

The ability to seperate aggressive tacklers from conservative tacklers (POW) Ohio St CB Shawn Springs has only 40 hit power it makes him a more conservative tackler

EA Sports: NCAA Football 11 Video

The ability to make WR's more aggressive blocking down field....VT's Antonio Freeman has 52 Run Block, 69 Impact Block and 51 Run Block Footwork. Nothing drastic but just a small tweak up on these ratings makes a huge difference on the field

EA Sports: NCAA Football 11 Video

The ability to make the CPU Option attack functional.....This actually requires a combination of sliders and player edits but it's possible to fix if EA didn't give it a shot in the arm this year. I'll waite to get the 1st before going into detail

EA Sports: NCAA Football 11 Video

The ability to make the CPU a threat in the Return game....This is kinda like the Option attack as it requires more than one player to be edited on their special teams units....but again i'll waite to see if sliders alone fixes the issue this year

Good Stuff.

I'm way too lazy and impatient to do anything more than a few changes here and there, but looks like a great guide for those who want to go deeper into it.

Since I don't have a 360, I too would love for a "guide" or a "formula."

Yea, I love what you do, but a little more details and insight would be nice. You've revealed a lot in many posts. Would be nice to have it summarized, so say if you want a back like, these guys that here, and if you know modern and historical representatives, man, that would be so awesome. I don't know if my thesis is going to get finished. Good thing I'm only in year 2 of the 5 year rule hahaha.

If you can make the CPU spread option effective(I'm judging from the demo), you're a hero.
