    Re: NCAA Football 11 Patch #3 Coming Soon, Possibly This Week

    I'm hoping for

    - CPU Depth Chart Fix
    - Slightly tone down the accuracy of QBs
    - Make the defense play much better zone coverage
    - Increase the effectiveness of the "knockdown" button on defense
    - No more 60 yard field goal attempts by the CPU
    - And of course, the pump fake glitch (even though I couldn't care less since I don't play online and don't have to worry about either the AI or me using this).

      If it helps anybody's high hopes, some of the things we're wanting are probably tuneable, so this patch may not be the last chance to fix some issues. Just looking at the above list I would guess that all of these could be tuned and may not require a patch:

      - Slightly tone down the accuracy of QBs
      - Make the defense play much better zone coverage
      - Increase the effectiveness of the "knockdown" button on defense
      - No more 60 yard field goal attempts by the CPU

        Love this list but would add 3 more

        - a little more tweaking (aka improving) the incoming recruit ratings.
        - punt and kick return blocking
        - make the run block and run defense sliders more effective so we can get a cpu run game on AA (i still dont understand what the heck they did to AA running)

          one more...

          WR rarely drop passes after being hit... this is extremely unrealistic. FIU WR not dropping a pass when they are being hit right in their ribs..

          before patch 2, this was perfectly done.

            I noticed this too!!! I completely agree. For some reason I'm thinking they did this on purpose for patch 2?!? Idk why they would though...

              I hope they fix scheduling, i got screwed out of a bowl game my first year in my SJSU dynasty, because Boise and Nevada didnt play and its annoying playing with pac 10 teams because its every 3rd year you play away. When they rotate every year.

              Like i have said before I had a 10 year dynasty with oregon st and never saw the depth chart issue with the cpu and now in my 6 year with SJSU and havent seen it yet.

              I would love to see zone coverage fixed, im sick of guys just literally sitting in their zone when there is a player in their area and they dont move.

              I also havent had a problem on AA with the cpu stopping the run. I do run for a lot of yards but i run a lot. Especially this year with my SJSU team i have my best RB and going to be a better passing team because the CPU defenses are gearing up to stop the run and forcing my frosh QB to beat them... which has so far.

              I would like to see a fix on the CPU blitzing a ton. I just destroyed USC because they were gearing up for the run and kept CB blitzing and i was able to audible out and quick pass because they also had the safety on that side blitzing too! after he caught 2 td's i would expect them to start dropping into zones... nope they kept blitzing. That needs to be fixed.

              Also a little thing that i would love is for the new pac 10 logo to make it in. All teams will have them on their jerseys and they maybe on the fields too. Im not sure about that yet

                Close to perfect...before the patch, when it was coming out, it technically was a fumble.

                  I think because people were complaining about it. The real problem with making these games manifests itself every single year: no matter how some aspect of the game is done, some people think it's too little or too much, and others think it's perfect. The first group complains long and loud. Then they change it, and the second group complains that it was fine before.

                  This is the beauty of sliders, and why I wish we had twice as many of them (and that they were twice as effective). Everybody's expecting a different thing from the game - and even getting wildly different results, depending how they play, what difficulty level they're on, what team they use, and so forth.

                    Agreed x1000. The only thing I use zone for lately is if I'm just killing clock in a blowout, or I am bringing a blitz and think I can get there quick enough to force a bad throw.

                      There must have been people complaining that their QB missed a pass or their reciver dropped a ball, so EA, said eff it. If they want Robo, we'll give them Robo. There's an app for that.

                        Put WR Catching to "conservative" in your game plan. This fixed all of my problems with drops. I rarely get them now.

                          You misunderstood, he's saying that players almost never drop the ball when getting pasted right after the catch.

                            Maybe I'm dumb, but before it seemed like EVERY time one of my receivers got hit right after a catch they dropped it. It didn't matter if it was on a slant and they got rocked, or a catch at the sideline where a cb pushed them as they caught it, they always dropped it. And I play with ND, and that was usually Floyd or Rudolph, two pre-season AA's, so I was getting really pissed to have drives get killed like that. I agree that a receiver shouldn't always catch those, but to me it was way overboard, and it still happens to me fairly often. Seems about right the way it is now, especially when you factor in the still superhuman lb's that knock everything over the middle down.

                              i say this simply given the timelines of the 2nd patch release, the uproar of the pump fake glitch and then add 3 weeks for ms/sony testing/certification.

                              it seems they didnt really have any time to work on this patch if its already coming out this week.
                              BINGO! That was my fear when they announced this 3rd patch. Seems pretty fast for all the things that need fixing. They should take more time and do more fixes since this is likely the last patch. Don't rush it out just to stop a bunch of 8-year-olds from using the pump-fake glitch in on-line games.
                              It's on me. I shook his hand too hard. It was a hard ... kind of a slap-shake.

                                Yep. I wonder if there was some miscommunication. I didn't hear the podcast, but it would seem more likely that the pacth may be submitted this week.
