NCAA Tuner Sets and Game Speed Level being added

[Playmakers]

Just curious to those who played NHL 10 how much effect did the Game Play Tuner sets have on NHL 10?

Also with the addition of the new game speed levels I think EA just opend up two options to more realism on the field.

I think the game speed level on slow will really help with animations and also solve a lot of problems with player speed and seperation during actual gameplay. I thought it was a great addition to Madden 10

I'm not familiar with the Game play Tuner sets....but imagine if it truly does go beyond sliders then we can quite possibly have the best NCAA game play since NCAA 06

Does anyone know what game play problems can this Game Tuner fix

Player Pursuit
Accuarcy of FG Kickers
The speed of Passes
QB abilty to operate option plays/make the QB run more if under pressure

I'm guessing if these two new additions work then we no longer need sliders is that correct?

How about the arm strength of quarterbacks this year which is ridiculous.

I think that would effect Pass speed right?

That's why i'm curious as to what exactly the Game Tuner sets can fix during actual game play.

If the Game Tuner sets slows down the speed of passes then QB Arm Strength shouldn't need to be edited for those who do edit rosters.

The actual QBA Slider itself doesn't fix the speed of passes....but this new Game Tuner sounds like it could a be a possible way

Re: NCAA Tuner Sets and Game Speed Level being added

Based on NHL 10 things like arm strength, blocking success rates, FG accuracy could easily be tweaked using tuner sets. Something like pursuit or QB logic I assume would be a lot more complicated because I doubt things like that can be improved with a simple change of a number or formula adjustment.

Has the arm strength issue been addressed on here. I mean I seen Jacory Harris throw it 80 yards on a hail mary, I mean let's be real here.

Re: NCAA Tuner Sets and Game Speed Level being added

So are Tuners even confirmed or are we all just taking that one guys word for it?

That's because in the game he probably has Throwing Power rated too high to begin with....

I'm not sure wht they keep doing this year every. They really need to start making their high end ratings for throwing power in the 80's and work their way downwards

Like for example if you start giving K's a leg power of 70 you'll start seeing kicks even from 40 yd's come up short in the game and they don't have much power behind them

But for some reason you hardly see any QB's in NCAA with a weak arm

Yea would like some proof its confirmed

Re: NCAA Tuner Sets and Game Speed Level being added

Tuner sets were great in NHL because they circumvented the patch process. The way it worked was patches fix things that were broken (freezing etc). Tuner sets adjusted gameplay (goalie rebounds etc). I think we got 2 patches and 3 tuner sets.

Re: NCAA Tuner Sets and Game Speed Level being added

I played a good amount of NHL 10, and the tuner sets were very effective.

It gave slider guys all sorts of headaches though. They had to really rework the sliders after each new tuner set was released. I don't envy you

Re: NCAA Tuner Sets and Game Speed Level being added

Yeah, the tuners were basically like patches for gameplay.

I also liked that you could keep the same sliders and just pick the latest tuner to see how it played with the sliders + tuner.

Re: NCAA Tuner Sets and Game Speed Level being added

Question for you NHL guys...Will they be able to fix the Def back AI with tuning?

Re: NCAA Tuner Sets and Game Speed Level being added

Here's an example of what one of the NHL tuner sets did, so you can judge for yourself how it may be applicable to NCAA:

###

All modes

-Poke check effectiveness increased
-Ease of tripping a player when poke check lowered
-Goalie tuning to prevent some exploit shots
-Shot accuracy increased

EASHL/OTP
-Puck control down decreased (still higher than pre-V1.03)
-Acceleration decreased
-Top skating speed increased
-Pass error decreased
-Pass speed increased

Versus
-Acceleration decreased slightly
-Puck control decreased (still higher than pre-V1.03)
-Deflections increased (same as EASHL/OTP now)

Offline (V1.03 only)
-Screen effect increased
-Range of acceleration slider increased. The lowest value is 25% lower than before the highest is the same.
-Deflections increased (same as EASHL/OTP now)

Highlights of the update include:
-Increased variation in goalie positioning
-Rebounds directed further to the side of the net
-Small reduction in goalie reaction times, top speed and acceleration
-Increase in screen effect on goalies (online only)
-Reduced post-whistle time (online only)
-Decreased effectiveness of the pass block (LB/L1) at taking the puck away
-Increased frequency of deflections (EASHL/OTP only)
-Prevent CPU defenders from being easily lured into hooking penalties in EASHL/OTP games
-Improved ability to intercept weak passes
-For EASHL/OTP, the range of the some of the attribute effects has been increased

hawkeykid,

so i can create sliders and then when a tuner set is released i don't have to switch sliders they instantly kinda work hand in hand with the sliders making them more effective or what?

I loved Madden 10 until they kept releasing patch after patch then i completely stopped playing

The patches kept screwing up the sliders

This is great, it really looks like PC style patches.
