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 ...

Im actually getting less. Went 2 games in a row without fumbling after this latest patch.

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.

Might as well play on the easiest level If it means that much to you to always beat the cpu. I could never get myself use it, in fact I wont even consider it.

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

ther ought to be seperate sliders for fumble frequency/ball protection and RB skills though imo.

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

So if I pump fake left or right against a user, or in the middle of the field, I'm okay correct?

Why on earth would someone consider pump faking backwards to begin with?

Yeah that would be good considering Madden 11 has a fumble slider and BTK slider.

Besides fixing obvious glitches, the thing I like most about this patch is it opened up the CPU offense. I play on AA, pretty close to default, and stopping the CPU's offense was just too easy. I'd just choose cover 1 or cover 2 man defenses and be able to keep even great passing offenses like Houston in check with average defenses. Last night I played 2 pretty even teams and was down 14-0 in the first quarter by giving up big plays in the passing game. That was not happening before.

The CPU's defense is better as well, but not overpowered. Running was too easy before, and they seemed to make it more realistic.

AA level seems more like it should be now. In terms of the backwards pump fake, I'm not a programmer, but shouldn't that be an easy fix? Just nullify any effect of pointing the right stick down after the snap. In other words, don't even allow the QB to do it, and turn off any defensive reaction associated.

Yep. Works fine in that case. Never seen the CPU fake backwards, so offline should be good unless you cheese the CPU....

Yeah that is probably why the programmers didn't know about it because nobody naturally pump fakes backwards. So I wouldn't chalk it up to something they "missed" because nobody pump fakes backwards.

They destroyed the gameplay IMO.

Robo QB is back.

I went from having somewhat realistic results on AA to every garbage QB completing 75%+ of his passes on me.

Try dropping cpu QB accuracy down then and/or increasing human pass coverage. You could also boost your pass rush if necessary. I've liked the increase to the cpu passing game myself.

THANK YOU and thanks spit_bubble. I thought i was the only one with the issue. i was saying it before but no one else said they had the same problem...

I think maybe a lot of people here see what they want to see rather than what actually is...

And when you combine that with all the undercover marketers here, you're going to get a lot of people saying they don't have the game "hang" on them.

This is my problem
I want to go back before the patch but i can´t

i don´t understand why they bring the RoboQb back.. it was great before the patch
why try to fix something that it wasn´t broken?

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

I'm not an undercover marketer, and the game doesn't hang on me..

I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but I certainly haven't experienced it. From the responses I've seen, it looks like its relatively rare.

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

I feel like the cpu kicker is MUCH more powerful now. Anyone else?

Kevin Prince (79 OVR) scorched my A-rated defense for 80% completion and nearly 300 yds, 2 TDs. Once I increased user pass coverage and knocked down cpu qb acc (a LOT), and cpu wr catch sliders, it curbed his success a tad. Can't wait until I play a real QB like Locker or Luck in my PAC-10 schedule.
