Just in time for NHL 11. I'd certainly like to, but I don't know if I'll be able to break away from NHL to play NCAA again, especially since NCAA has all of these issues, some of which seem unaddressable or are being avoided (would be nice to have them all acknowledged one way or another).

The tuesday release is killing me. Feels like waiting for another game. That and NHL comes out the same day.

Three things I wished they woulda fixed..


*hurry up logic- not so much as in the frequency of it, but personel. I've seen many times where the team was a fake punt formations and converted. The do a hurry up to line only to see the punter still in at QB! This happens with the RB as well

*depth chart glitch- everyone knows this is still an issue

*fg xtra point cam still screwed!- doesn't happen as often as it did pre-patch #2, but still in. fixing something should eliminate it, not have an occasional spoof.

Overall i believe EA sports is a reflection of our generation (20-30yrs). Now days people care less and less about the products they put out as long as they make money. It is no longer a world where people care about the consumer being happy. I remember the older EA games where pretty good out of the box even for the systems they were on. This world is getting worse and worse by the minute and even though this is a video game, this is a sign of the times changing horribly.

This might sound dumb but I was just wondering if the season progression will affect current dynasties or would you have to re-create it? Both on and offline. Sorry if that was already asked and/or we just have to wait for the update to even know, haha.

I'm new to the NCAA games so I really have no idea about updates or anything..

So does this mean that all these tuners and patches will automatically be in ncaa 12 when it ships?

Are you serious? It's a different game and they'll probably change the engine some like they did with locomotion in this game. Since it's the not the same game, all they can do is use their experience from previous years to make the next year's better and avoid past mistakes. It's obvious they've done with NCAA 11 as it's the most complete college football game to date but you still have close to a year before NCAA 12 so stop worrying about it.

I agree and disagree. I think EA does care about the NCAA Football product. If they didn't they wouldn't continually put out patches that make the game better. They could have just patched the fix for the pump fake glitch and been done, but they decided to listen to the fans and add in in-season progression and fix the mirroring.

I do agree with you that they box'd product should be better. They should have tested it more thoroughly, but they have deadlines just like all of us. I would like to thank the NCAA Dev team for being so hands on this year, and hopefully there won't need to be so many fixes in the future.

Still a great game!

That is the problem right there. People dont worry about it and then when the game ships all you get is a bunch of cry babies. So take these patches and tuners and learn from them so you dont have to repeat the same patches and tuners next year.

Its like when you make a mistake but you actually learn from it and use that knowledge in some fashion so you dont make that same mistake again.

BTW I know they cant take these exact patches and put them in the new game. Just like sliders, things will be tweaked. Come on man some people just are not that stupid. Let me break it down for you:

Read, process then post.

Awesome! Rush defense slider fix and season stat progression. I can't wait.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Patch #3 and Live Tuning Pack 3 Arrives September 7th

Like most of the changes, but there were a couple of other things that I thought needed to addressed that weren't like others have said.

1. No changes to the special teams at all. As it stands right now special teams are basically irrelevant in the game. No blocks on kicks or punts, no bad snaps and very little chance of returns going for tds on kickoffs and punts because the blocking is lacking. This is really something to me that needs to a addressed, alot of games in college come down to a momentum shift from a big special teams play. I really thought at least that blocking on kicks and punts would be tuned.

2. Depth chart issue even though the increased ratings very well may mitigate this problem. Have to wait and see if it does.

3. Better pass blocking on play action passes. Some still may disagree with this, but to me there is noticeably difference between pass blocking on non play action plays versus play action plays.

Overall seems like a pretty good list, just slightly disappointing that some other things weren't tuned specifically in the special teams game.

Sorry To sound like a noob but...you dont have to restart a dynasty for these to take affect?

Re: NCAA Football 11 Patch #3 and Live Tuning Pack 3 Arrives September 7th

wow, nothing done for the depth chart issue....

[Herky]

Re: NCAA Football 11 Patch #3 and Live Tuning Pack 3 Arrives September 7th

Like others have said, I'm not happy the special teams and the depth chart issues will not be fixed. Everything else looks really good though. Let's just hope a new issues don't pop up after this patch and tuner.
