Thank you to the NCAA team for all of the hardwork. Amazing game!

I could not agree more. The game plays much better. It seems like I am even seeing new tackling animations. The coverage is much better. The read option seems to work better on both sides. The sound is also better.

If they can just fix this no huddle bug this will be the best NCAA game ever in my opinion.

I'm glad I do not use the hurry up at all, Or use it as a play style but I do feel the game has improved I can finally try out dynasty with a glimmer of hope things will go well. Hopefully patch+tuner= satisfied customer.

Since you finally started a dynasty, I guess you settled on a slider set. Which ones are you currently using?

So that seems exactly the same as before. Loving the open editing from the patch.

DT's Acceleration must be lowered (55 or lower) because of the slow QB rollback which doesn't give the play time to develope.

Also lowering their Agility (50 or lower) so that they don't turn a dime and catch the RB after he catches the ball.

Lastly, Play Awareness, (40-70) it's way too high for the college game.
This isn't the Pro's, that's why screens work so well in college because 98% DL seldom pick up on screens so fast.

Screens have improved Post-Patch drastically.
There's just some little (time consuming) tweaks that need to be done to really bring the game out even more.

I'm doing this across the board for all positions and the game is totally different because it allows plays/player's to react proportionate to the field (too small) EA uses.

It actually gives you space on the field to do some things if you have an Explosive player (96% players on my roster have ACC below 80)

The Power schools gulp up the speedy/explosive guys, so trying to get such a player as a Mid-Major adds another wrinkle of excitement in the recruiting process because most of my Mid's do not have such player's on their roster.

Almost had a 5'10" 4.30 3 Star WR speedster for my Fresno State Bulldogs, but stupid USC jacked him at the last minute.

Having fun though!!!

Option offense is much improved for the CPU and User. Once the "hurry up" glitch is addressed. The patch just made a great game the best ever in this series history.

Agreed. I feel for the guys that run a no-huddle attack; you're screwed right now but hopefully we get a tuner that ONLY addresses that issue.

Honestly, outside of that, I'm VERY happy with the patch and feel the gameplay is the best it's been.

The graphics on the PS3 are much better after the patch, and the crowd noise has also been tuned.
