What is effect of Tuner--Good or bad ??

[CSA1864]

WOW!!! The difference is like night and day. Deleting the tuner made an OK game seem good.

A few things I noticed.

-Better tackling, not so many misses. It does seem that you tackle backwards/forwards meaning the ball carrier gets a few extra yards.
-Better replays the replays don't skip every few seconds or look like the player in replay feet arent moving.
-User O-Line blocked better
-After a User pass deflection the CPU WR will jump towards the ball and sometimes catch it.
-Run is smoother and CPU doesn't get so many busted plays in the backfield and neither do you.

I like the game without this tuner and will continue testing it

I find it completely interesting that except one or two that the majority of sim style vets aren't in here complaining about it. Though it would be nice if they would like in years past tell us what the turner is tuning

What was the tuner supposed to fix? I haven't been prompted yet to download it. I also checked my files and I don't have it.

I know the answer but i thought about it yesterday, anyhow, is a single person OD, considered playing online?

I mean there could be a distinction between going online and playing head to head matches vs. playing a dynasty by yourself couldnt there?

Probably a dumb question, but after deleting the patch, do you need to slider tweak or can you play on default aa

I would have to say no. I checked to see if I have the tuner and I haven't been prompted to download it. I have been playing without the tuner and the CPU screens are killing the game for me. 90% of the screen plays end up in a qb sack for a lot of yardage and it happens all the freakin time. I did think of a fix. I went in and created a game book for the spread offense and removed all the CPU screens. I haven't tried it yet, but I am going to start the game in two player mode then switch the other team to CPU controlled. Hopefully the CPU will use the playbook that I loaded. It sucks, but what the heck. I am only running a test dynasty now, but when I run my real one I am going to go in and name each team a specific playbook. So far I edited Wisconsin (Heavy Run Pro Type Offense) and Clemson (Spread a lot of QB running). See how it works, cause at the moment the screens suck and is a game killer.

I just played my first game w/o the tuner. The CPU was Oregon on Heisman difficulty and they only ran 4 screen plays. Usually the CPU runs 7-10 screens per game so based on a miniscule sample, deleting the tuner might reduce the number of screens called. One negative about reducing the tuner is that play action is as useless as it was in NCAA 12. W/ the tuner everyone falls for the PA. W/o the tuner no one bites on the fake.
