NCAA Football 11 Patch #2 Available with Details, Post Your Impressions Here

any idea if the dirty is representative of the moves...for example if on the opening kickoff if I dive with a player does the front of his jersey get dirty?

Can someone confirm if zone defense is at least a viable option? I saw where Russ said they addressed flat and deep zones; however, I am wondering do the defenders still just stand their clueless while receivers run through their area. I'm sure man is always going to be the preferred pass defense on this version but I'm hoping the patch can at least salvage zone defense enough to be useful as a change of pace once in a while.

PS3, and I have seen unis in both medium and light rain.

Medium was much more substantial, and in light rain it was still there, but not as much dirt. I only played 1-2 min qrts to test, gave the ball to the RB every play.

Thanks man, I was getting worried.

Re: NCAA Patch #2 Official

What qtr did you start seeing the unis getting dirty???

Somewhat early. I made it raining. It progressively got worse.

That's a beautiful pic.

It would've been a better picture if a UCF defender was driving him into the dirt

Re: NCAA Patch #2 Official

Tuned the CPU ball carrier so that they will break to the outside more often when appropriate
Tuned how the CPU ball carriers utilize leans and special moves so that they won't be used in situations when they shouldn't (e.g. a HB in the open field will not put his shoulders down when running forward)

Finally.

I find it hilarious in retrospect to go back and read the threads on this issue (like here for example) or the comments on my own YouTube playlist demonstrating the problem and seeing comments like "this is just good football north-south running" or "I don't ever see this problem" or "you guys are imagining things, quit complaining."

Either way, glad to see they addressed it. I'll have to play the game to really see how much better it is.

Nice progression fixes so far from what I've seen. Not bad game play fixes either. NCAA 11 will turn into a good game if they keep listening to the players and fixing what needs to be fixed in these patches.

Few things I noticed: XBOX 360 (after patch)

- QBs will run when the pocket breaks down. This was great to see!

Uniforms do degrade on all surfaces in all types of weather, including domes (this was tested at the Kibbie Dome)

- Runners still protect the ball in the open field but it is just not as frequent

A few questions for some of you that have played online:

Do the uniforms degrade online?
Are the cheese plays such as the counter, stretch, runs to the outside still difficult to defend against? This is my one true beef with this game.

Yeah, pretty comical. If you play this game for more than a couple days you will see this all the time, and even start anticipating it. It was kind of sad not having to take a proper angle to a sideline runner just because I knew he would break it back inside and get tackled by four guys. In a game last night, I was about twenty yards deep playing a safety, and when I twitched toward the sideline the halfback turned and literally ran horizontally back into my defensive line - even though I was the only defender outside and he had an auto-ten yard gain, more if I missed the tackle. I really hope the patch has done something about this.

In season progression?

Man, I'm playing VT and Williams is running all over me. A few times he's broken big ones to the outside, and Taylor has ran some sweet speed option plays for nice gains.

Also, FINALLY the PA boot screen works, and when it works well....nice gains.

Patch 3 better fix all the scheduling problems. That with the wonky depth chart problems a few years in, dynasty is still really messed up and needs to be fixed badly.
