Re: NCAA Football 11 Patch #3 and Live Tuning Pack 3 Available, Impressions Here (PS3
The one thing that irks me about recruits is that there is a big disconnect present between speed and acceleration. For example, I came across this one recruit who ran a 4.32 forty, so I decided to check out the rest of his attributes. Of course, he had A- speed, no problem there, but he had a C acceleration. Compare this to another recruit that I came across who had the same forty time, same speed rating, but had a B for acceleration. This makes no sense that they would have the same forty time since they have significantly different ratings for acceleration. EA simply equates forty times with speed, but this creates a huge conflict in regards to acceleration. If two players have the same top end speed, yet different accelerations, there forty times should be different.
Another issue is with the gap between speed and acceleration ratings for players. I'm currently in year 3 of my dynasty, and I checked out ratings of all the players. There are around 25-30 players with 99 acceleration, yet only around a quarter have speed above 90, and vice versa is true if you look at those players with 99 speed. Now I understand that EA is trying to with locomotion put an emphasis on those players who can get to their top gear fast, but a 99 speed WR with 74 acceleration, that really doesn't seem logical or fathomable. If you have 4.28 speed, you probably have great acceleration. But according to EA's logic he can only run a 4.28 40 after he sprints sixty yards, gets to his top speed, and then runs the forty yard dash. Yeah, he can fly, but only after 10 seconds. That's totally unrealistic. In my opinion, the difference between acc and spd for a player should only be five points at most. A fifteen to twenty point gap makes you believe your WR is as fast as your MLB. Football is a game of short burst speed, who cares if you have 4.28 speed if it takes you 30 seconds to get to that level because odds are you'll never get the chance and you'll just play at an average speed.

first online game post patch was against someone who tried to play press man all game with a bunch of CB who had press ratings in the 70's
so that the ratings, progression and physics line up to get the football experience I am looking for which according to EA is in the game.
