i still have not seen dirty uniforms in a brand new offline dynasty. am i missing something? does it have to be raining? i played a game in the snow and everything was pristine. does the field type matter? so if i'm playing on outdoor turf, will they not get dirty regardless of the weather?

From what I've read yes. You need to be playing on real grass and in bad weather.

Things that got adjusted by the patch on All American that might need tweaking if you want to bring the game back to the way it played (my opinion of course).

1. I think the human pass rush got a boost in the patch. I'm toning it down slightly.
2. I think both human and cpu rushing games got downgraded due to better pursuit. I think we'll definitely have to boost cpu run block.
3. I haven't seen a big difference in QB accuracy. I still see bad throws and have not seen robo QB at all.
4. I think pass coverage is looser, specifically man to man coverage, post patch. I actually like it like this.
5. I haven't seen a difference in WR catching or INTs. I still see leaping LBs so I really don't notice much difference in the big guys toned down but it's not terrible either. Not touching this area.
6. I think kickers got a good boost all around in power and accuracy. I'd suggest knocking down sliders at least one notch in all categories to balance it out. It's hard to test because practice conditions don't carry over perfectly to the game but it's something I've noticed while playing in my dynasty.

That's not entirely true. I played a game of my SDSU offline dynasty last night @ New Mexico St. It was on grass surface and the weather was completely clear and the unis did get dirty, along with the helmet scuffs.

Won on a last-second FG, 24-21. I am still amazed that I can play default Heisman and get very realistic scores and play. Game is a blast.

Now that we have Dirty Uni's, the game has gone completely sour. I played last night and it was just boring. What did EA do?????

Where are the over thrown passes?

Backward Pump fakes = automatic TD?

The game feels soooo much like Madden, and that is not a good thing since you can complete passes while facing in the opposite direction in that game. Just glad you can't break a million tackles tho.

The number one thing I want back is the overthrown passes, that alone made the game feel authentic.

I saw about 5 overthrows last night. Of course, I was San Diego State playing New Mexico State (offline dynasty), but they were definitely there. This was on default Heisman.

I think the pump fake glitch counters the man2man cheese. It makes people use more of their playback rather than the same few plays and Yes, it it can be stopped.

If they can just balance so the defense bits according to aggressiveness and ratings, this would be fine as long as it keeps the playcall varied for people who use the man2man cheese.

I have acually had better games because of the glitch. No more overrated defensive man2man schemes.

I've got an idea......... Why don't you fix the crowd in the OU/Texas game where the Texas fans are on the OU side and the OU fans are on the Texas side when Texas is wearing their home Burnt Orange. My GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's only one of the biggest rivalries in college football and the fans DON'T CHANGE SIDES each year. The OU fans are one the OU side........The Texas fans are on the TEXAS side EACH YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FOR THE LOVE

I hope that this is a joke.......

I've gotten helmet scuffs and some scuffed up uniforms on field turf, but, no real mud & dirt unless you're on the real stuff.

I have definitely seen this. Man to man coverage, especially on short post routes, has me being picked apart. I like it too because I have to play more short zones, but it seems like deep zone coverage is still sort of weak, especially if you can't get pressure on the QB. I suppose that is realistic... if a QB has all day eventually WR's will get open, but it's frustrating when WR's are WIDE open near the sidelines in Cover 3, but scorch your DBs over the middle on Cover 2 man press.

Now, is it the TUNER SET or the PATCH that actually changed the gameplay? Can you delete the tuner set to get the gameplay like it was before if that was your preference? Just curious...

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

If you're doing an offline dynasty, you can change the tendencies of the teams...there's a great thread about coaching sliders...they work in the sliders forum.

You can chanage the aggressiveness as per their real life tendencies. Air Force for example runs 85% of the time, and blitzes 25% of the time...you can change that, and do that for every team in the game in your dynasty...someone has a spreadsheet in the thread that actually breaks down what the run/pass slider should be and the aggressiveness on D.

I played 3 games in my dynasty, and I've seen 15 1 man blitzes, 6 2 man blitzes, and 2 all out blitzes in 3 games...so the slider does work.

Yeah and it only takes about 20 minutes or so to change all teams so it really does not take that long. Anything I can do to make it more realistic I am going to do.

Since patch two the only complaint I have is that about twice a game my defensive backs will go to swat a pass they should easily get and they will miss. Usually turns into a TD for the cpu. Is it just me or is anyone else having this problem to?

Been a problem for me too...especially on the tight rope sideline catches. No matter what I do, it seems once the CPU goes into that animation, the ball WILL hit his hands.

Besides this being the best Fball game ever, have to luv the brown socks bug!

Also can we get dynamic attendance and please not have the crowd chanting D-Fence on a QB knee as the D is down 41-0. :wink:

Otherwise I luv this game! And I am more of a pro fball guy but this is a ton better then Madden. Might change after a Madden patch for the lame D.

Yeah the game seems to play good for guys like us playing with low rated schools versus other low rated schools.

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

One small thing that needs to be improved are all the players helping opponent's up on the field post-play. That's fine in a meaningless game but I don't want to see Michigan guys helping OSU guys off the ground in the big game.
