Players still tuck the ball in the wide open field making it easy to catch ball carriers. (sigh)

The uniform degredation is great, however, not many teams in major conferences have natural grass anymore. And from what I understand, teams playing on FieldTurf will experience neither jersey wear and tear nor helmet scuffs.

I think you'd still get scuffs. Helmets banging into each other would cause this. I still think alot of teams have grass. Most of the SEC does and I can think of alot of Big 10 teams as well.

Pump fake bug =

Luckily I only play offline, but I'm still going to have to stop myself from busting this out on the CPU when I need a play. In the back of my head will be a little voice saying, "Go on, do it! No one's watching! Auto-touchdown!"

I feel the same way. In a big game situation, down by 7 or more, not much time left, and you need to drive. You'll debate with yourself on doing the pump fake backwards automatic touchdown...

I'm sure I'll end up using it once somewhere.

i think ea did a decent job in getting this out and made some decent fixes but i still see some of the same glitches..

1) Computer still covering up the ball in the open field while running
2) Linebackers still jump up way too high to deflect passes
3) Mirroring coverage
4) Kick Coverage way too hard to get return yards
5) Blitzes are rarely disguised and are very predictable

Seeing this list makes you wonder if they did anything in this second patch besides uniform degradation.

Don't do it. You ... must ... resist ... the urge!

Cheaters never prosper. ... Except for Pete Carroll. And John Calipari. And Tim Floyd.

Pump fake bug not only kills online quick play, but OD as well.

Playing a Heisman OD is pretty much pointless. I like to play an Od where there isnt too many user vs user games so the dynasty goes quicker. Its on Heisman because....1 i like the challenge, and 2....there will be some losses to the CPU. Not so sure about that now.

Even if you are playing with people you know, there is no way to detect if the glitch was used. Thus killing the game.

FG and punt formations STILL have the camera spanned way too far back on occasions.

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

Does anyone else's formation subs NOT work for FG block? I haven't noticed this on any other formation, but this one I can't get to change. Pis$ed me off b/c my best DT got hurt on an extra point b/c of this. I don't play my starters on special teams for this very reason.

Side note on the patch: sliders for passing game will definitely have to be re-worked. Seems to have affected the kicking game as well. Not complaining here, it's just noticeably different. Dirty unis look incredible.

I'd like to hear more comments on the kicking game. It seems noticeably easier for the human. Possibly easier for the cpu as well.

Yup. That hasn't changed at all.

there´s way too many fumbles now imo. It´s great that the cpu runs the ball better, but if the cost is getting 5 fumbles per game i say meh ...

I only saw one fumble total in two games last night and that was on a punt return. What difficulty level are you on and what is the cpu RBA at? I raised the cpu RBA (65 on AA) so they probably don't fumble as much for me.

And for the record, anyone that uses the pump fake glitch to their advantage on purpose should be ashamed of themselves.

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

I only had a few minutes this morning to mess around with the game after the patch and I definitely noticed the difference in penalties and better CPU RB logic. I've been using Playmaker's sliders and they will probably need some minor tweaks, but once I get the sliders right this game will be fantastic.

I haven't really liked any of EA's football games since the PS2 days but I'm totally hooked on this one. I've barely touched Madden 11 so far because I keep getting drawn back to this game.

Pump Fake bug? uh-oh.

I pump fake pretty liberally..either left, and then throw back right, or vice versa..or sometimes to get a DB to bite early on a wheel or double move route..

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

Does anyone have proof the uniform degredation works in online dynasties?

Yes played my bowl game last night. Single player OD, I don't have a picture of proof, but believe me it is in. 360 BTW.

Is it just me or have injury notifications improved a ton! The commentators actually point them out and you watch the player limp off the field now like back in the day.

I don't know if this has to do with the patch, but in my bowl game last night, they took one of Nevada's players off on a Cart! I have never seen this happen in years of NCAA.

When the injury occurred the crowd went silent, and the cut away had the fans all looking down and shaking their head.

Once the Cart started rolling off the field the crowd then cheered for the injured player.

Priceless!

anyone want to take a stab at this question?

If you don't get the tuner set your players will not progress.

All season long, I've had the case of the fumbles, 3-4 per game, last night was the first game I didn't fumble once. Only threw one pick for a change too.



I said it once, and will say it again, Outstanding work EA!

Only works on a backwards fake, so you are fine in single player. Online on the other hand is ......

I actually made that same change (from 55) and the next game it was just me committing 2 fumbles (and on one i totally screwed up on an option and the other i got serously drilled by a linebacker), so i don´t give up hope yet. Just a spur of the moment post after i won a game with the cpu committing 5 fumbles in that game on all sorts of plays.

I actually had that Pumpfake bug happen on accident scrambling (and thought i´d be above the line of scrimage and i´m not so sure-fingered on the right stick), was so dumbfounded that i ended up getting sacked by like 5 guys simultaneaously

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

Yeah that fumble thing is a non issue since it can easily be fixed with ONE slider.
