Re: NCAA Football 11 Live Tuning Pack 1, Available Now

Man, prestige drops fast. Maybe i never noticed it before, but After simming two seasons with Notre dame, it's now a 4 star program after a 10-3 year(wth would it drop after a 10-3 year!?) and a 5-7 year(understandable) OSU dropped to a 5-star after a 10 win season adn a 9 win season. As usual, i'm befuddled by the prestige logic. Losing prestige is way too easy to do. It should be harder to gain prestige and way harder to lose it as well.

^This. There is a difference between Live Tuner Packs and Title Updates (patches). Double check Roy's Blog for some more details.

I'm curious now too:

What does Awareness affect then???

Fair enough.

It's used in our SIM logic some and helps CPU QB's choose who they are going to throw too. I'll double check if there is anything else but that is pretty much it.

Are you planning on testing their progression?

Yes. I can report in the offseason in year one the non-freshmen went up anywhere from 1-5. Unless those guys go up 5 every year though, they still are horrible by the end of their career.

For people in the UK you need an American PSN account. The online pass will not work on UK profiles so the tuner won't download. Creating an American profile solves the problem

We don't release the game anywhere outside of North America (sorry for being slighty off, put down the pitch forks my northern friends). But the above might solve your problems.

nice so awareness is basically a passing rating.. interesting.

Also still seeing a lot of teams with 6 or more QBs on the roster. And a ton with 5.

Most I saw was North Texas who had 8, only one of them is above 55 OVR so I don't even see what the point of having 7 QBs rated 48-55 is.

Won't the lack of fixes to key ratings still FUBAR my Madden draft classes?

The prestige logic may be flawed, but it could easily be argued that Notre Dame has severely dropped in prestige in real life. How many 18-year-old kids/recruits have ever seen Notre Dame compete for a national title? Aside from Brady Quinn's big year when Reggie Bush pushed Matt Leinart over the goal line to beat ND, the Irish have been largely irrelevant in the national title hunt for a recruit's entire lifetime.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Live Tuning Pack 1, Available Now

So uh, is this tuner set pretty much pointless...?

Russ, I'd like you to answer this one.

I don't care that it's notre dame dropping. In real life they are probably a 5 or 4 star by this point. The fact that a team can drop prestige after a 10 win year or a 9 win year is highly disturbing. It wouldn't be so bad if getting back to 6 stars wasn't almost impossible for AI controlled teams.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Live Tuning Pack 1, Available Now

Thanks for the update Russ...I was whining over at the EA forums in despair when it didn't seem like the tuner set was out after the servers came online, but not only did they pop up you also released an excellent blog with graphs and everything about how dynasty is improved. With that said I apologise for my earlier whining . You shut me up instantly after I read that blog haha.

Thanks again! Now I'm off to start a new dynasty.

That is not what their recruiting classes say though. In this game prestige is directly related to the kind of players a team can get and how strong a team's recruiting class will be. If you look at Notre Dame's recruiting this year, they have alot of highly ranked guys so far as they had under Weiss. Weiss just couldn't take advantage of it.
