^^^It was related to the game if you actually read the thread. He was trying to say Arkansas State's o-line should be dominating Michigan's d-line in the game because it sucks, I was simply argueing that the Mich's d-line in the game and real life is actually pretty good. So I really don't give a crap what you think because it was related to the game so techinally the only one cluttering is you.

Sorry I was unaware that any mention of the real thing in a college football game forum were not allowed even if they related to the game.

Vince, what level do you want the test done on. I am playing on AA right now deafult sliders and the here are the stats for the computer

Crane for Boston College at half time against ND at ND

12-18 101 yrds 1 td 1 int 1 fumble

Re: ***Official NCAA '09 Post Patch Impressions thread***

I noticed less Robo QBMan in All-American so I think the test would be better in that level...Maybe putting both sliders at zero and seeing what effect it now has with sliders actually working.


Thanks

Would you guys mind posting in list format what the patch did, and did not improve. I think it would make it a lot easier for us guys stuck at work who have not DL'd the patch to get impressions. Please touch on the bullet points laid out by OMT that the new patch was supposed to address.

Re: ***Official NCAA '09 Post Patch Impressions thread***

I just tested with cpu pass blocking at 0 and human break block at 100 and Michigan's d-line was still getting pancaked, thrown to the ground and chopped by Arkansas State's o-line on almost every play. So no the patch did not fix the pass rush at all.

The pass rush was not listed in the patch and Adam already confirmed they weren't touching the pass rush so I have no idea why people thought the patch would fix it anyways.

I am doing that now, I will post the difference between stats for halftime. I played the first half on default AA, the second half I will play with those two sliders at 0...and post the difference.

What level do you play on? The cpu pass blocking has always been insane on Heisman and I don't expect that to change or be fixed by the patch. You will see much better results on AA unless that's too easy for you.

Could people please post the difficulty level they play on when making statements? It would be easier for some of us that eagerly reading impressions.

Edit: I see from another post you are playing on Heisman. In all honesty, that level will not recreate a good pass rush for you. Its always been a problem on Heisman imo and is just a little worse this year. I would suggest massively tweaking AA to make the cpu tougher rather than play on Heisman. You can avoid some of these problems that way unless its simply too easy for you.

I agree. I want to know about the gameplay on AA and below. Hesiman will always skew towards insane difficulty.

^^^That was one game, you don't judge teams based on one game. After those first couple of games the d-line played very well. That same d-line was all over Tim Tebo for most of the game in the bowl game. They pressured him all game. Michigan d-line should dominate a team like Arkansas State easily. And for the record App State is a hell of alot better than Arkansas State.

Im not here to argue with you dude ratings wise our line isnt some dominant force this year in the game, out of the game you and i have no idea how good we are going to be. We have not stepped on the field yet.We can only hope for the best. I cant make up my mind on this patch one game it feels like im getting more pressure the next i cant get any. One game it feels like robo qb is toned down with cpu qb acc at 0 and the next they go 65%. so im getting mixed results. Try running a game like usc vs idaho.

no he wasnt saying anything about dominating michigans line, what i meant is in real life defensive lines dont just bust through every play. even when playing weaker opponents. you are expecting nfl blitz type results and its not gonna happen.

Re: ***Official NCAA '09 Post Patch Impressions thread***

^^Should it matter, Michigan d-line should dominate a bad team even on Heisman. Like Adam said the o-line d-line interaction should be priority number 1 for next year. I just don't know why you guys think the pass rush was adressed in the patch because Adam already stated they weren't touching the pass rush in the patch.

isnt AA the most realistc level, while heisman all teams play out of their mind. so for example a 90 to 90 team might be even in aa but a 70 cpu to 90 human team in hiesman might be even. i might be wrong.
