    Calling blitz plays and then defense adjustment to 'show blitz' y-left will somehow get my dline in on the qb much faster. I am vanderbilty in a dynasty with 70ish rated dline and have been averaging 6-9 sacks the past few games with this method. My first few seasons I may have gotten 18-20 sacks all season. that coupled with jump snaps will get you in there.

    I think EA didnt mess with the pass rush as couple with this, the jump snap, and sliders, pass rush couldve been too strong.
    I have been doing that all along..I wuill just bluff the play a few times and the QB gets confused somehow, even though no one moves? With the patch I will see if that is needed, but i WILL ALWAYS USE IT ANYWAY...I will try it later tonight.Atleast I do not have to start my dynasty over

      Agreed.

      I don't notice ONE bit of difference.

      My kick coverage is still awful, player still do that STUPID falling out of bounds thing in bounds, and I don't give a lick about sliders, so I didn't touch those.

      This is the last patch we are getting, and therefore I must give this years game a 6.5. I will not be purchasing it next year unless the demo shows me something MAGICAL with OL/DL interaction. Like a new engine.

        OMT said you shouldn't have to and I definitely noticed a difference in mine.

          you are killing the cpu run game and then complaning about it if you put the settings like that....
          I don't have human break block at 100. I have it set at 20. I was just using an example but I think you might be the only guy in the world that thinks break block has nothing to do with pass protection.

            Locking up 2 for 2 when trying to check sliders/rosters in the main menu navigation area. Wow, what crap this is.

              Thanks. Those stats are awful hard to find on the internet since its not an official statistic.

                Have the same problem with my roster file except for patch 1 has caused it to freeze everytime I try to open it. I just had Adam tell me that roster files that were ok before the first patch would work fine after it, what a load of BS.

                  The kickoff coverage and punt coverage is improved still not great but improved. As far anything else like the pass rush it is exactly the same and people thinking it is better must be suffering from the placebo effect. All-American creates a slight pass rush just like before but still nowhere where it needs to be. I should be able to constant pressure rushing only 4 or 5 against bad teams.

                    I think the reason EA did this was to help tone down the cpu INTs. Whenever they get pressured, they tend to make bad decisions and throw too many picks. To help fix the QB AI, they just boosted the pass blocking so they wouldn't make as many dumb decisions.

                      In the game I played, no kickoff return got past the 30 yd line.

                        Sure they didn't tone down the pass rush to create wide open gameplay. Also if that was the case maybe they should have thought of actually improving the QB AI instead of ruining the pass rush which for the record has never been this bad in any NCAA game before.


                        ^^^Did I not say improved, but improved and great are two different things. The gunners are better but the pursuit angles are still terrible. Calling it great would definatly be an exageration. There were two returns for td's in the first half of the very first game I played mainly because the pursuit angles are still bad.

                          the one thing i really really really hate is when the computer runs the ball late in the game then as soon as you use your final time out....instead of running out the clock they decide to throw and most of the time its a horible throw..ive intercpted 2 or 3 late in the game this way and it drives me nuts...i hope this is fixed

                            Uh, hello. Anybody home? The messed up sliders was the main problem with the game. A working set won't address everything, but it should solve most of the issues. You expect the game to magically adjust to how you want it to play? You're supposed to tweak the sliders to get the style of play you desire.
                            It's on me. I shook his hand too hard. It was a hard ... kind of a slap-shake.

                              That is the thing at least for me, the thing that drives me insane more than the pass rush or anything else is the dumb CPU playcalling. Please EA do something with this for next year, it needs to be a priority.


                              ^^Also before you tell him to adjust sliders you might want to realize there are no sliders to improve kick or punt coverage. Not that they are as needed as before.

                                you're right, but who is calling it great??? but MY impression, on MY xbox360, on MY disc, and in MY game I played........I thought it was "greatly improved" with realistic starting field position :wink:
