NCAA Football 11 Blog: Live Tuning Pack 4

[The GIGGAS]

Russ Kiniry, Designer of NCAA Football 11 has posted a new blog, which details Live Tuning Pack 4.

"This update contains a small change for In Season Progression as the last tuner pack didn't have the impact we expected for everyone. Basically some Dynasties were not seeing the amount of progression we would of liked, this should be resolved with LTP4.

What is In Season Progression?

- During the season some of your players on your team will get small gains to some of their ratings
- Will show in Edit Roster Screen in the form of +1 (or another number) next to a player rating
- Will NOT affect every player, only some will Progress
- On average only a few players per team will see a +1 in Overall (OVR) gain over the course of a full season
- Will work when Siming, you do not need to play every game for it to occur
- Will change other attributes per position other than OVR, for example Awareness (AWR) is a rating that normally sees a jump"

Re: LTP4

SWEET ... I was not seeing any for my team, and only a few +1 on awareness for players on teams like Alabama.

Re: LTP4

Please tune the defense as well. Pass defense isn't good enough.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Blog: Live Tuning Pack 4

I was wondering about this because I went through rosters and saw a few guys on hot streaks, but no player progression anywhere. I'm really digging these tuner packs. This is what I had envisioned last year with Madden when they promoted their server side updates.

When does this go live?

Re: NCAA Football 11 Blog: Live Tuning Pack 4

was new tuning patch released today or is he just saying what all was fixed and new one will be released soon?

Agree with Lakers... Pass rush on Heisman is non exsistant.... The rest of the game is awesome.

Under the blog over at EA there's an announcement that says it drops today.

Would someone be kind enough to post the tuner here for us without online (xbox360)currently when it does come out?

This is becoming an every couple week occurrence now. Thankfully you don't have to restart for a tuning pack to take effect

Re: NCAA Football 11 Blog: Live Tuning Pack 4

so no gameplay tweaks whatsoever in this? just made a slider set yesterday and am curious

Re: NCAA Football 11 Blog: Live Tuning Pack 4

Now can you please tune the AI FG attempts on Heisman. Waaay to many 60+ yard attempts. Tie it into the FG power slider.

Also, please tune the AI to be more effective at returning kicks.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Blog: Live Tuning Pack 4

How bout fixing the AI's tendency to punt the ball EXTREMELY out of bounds. A little tuning for QB acccuracy(To get the good QB's to throw a off mark pass once in a while, you have to drop the slider enough to make lower QB's throw all over the place) and maybe better zone interaction(since you can't have the defense react to the QB's eyes, maybe they could position themselves a bit closer based on the routes).

BTW, I would like to ask Russ about his thoughts on a more comprehensive set of sliders(giving the ability to fine tune general gameplay and maybe even slider sets for each position including threshhold sliders for things like tackling and break tackle) to appeal to the SIM crowd. It would give the designers a chance to focus on other facets of the game. Probably something for NCAA 12 since another big patch is unlikely.
