PLEASE don't patch the gameplay, EA....

[ViLLiO]

Seriously, the patch ruined the game for me last year in the sense that defense was non-existent afterward. If you tune anything, please don't let it be gameplay wise. The gameplay is SUPERB this year. I'm loving the new defense. Don't listen to the whiners, EA.

Actually if they tune any gameplay I would like them to tune the DB's playing the ball better on deep passes and safeties playing better in their deep zone, cause its almost to easy to get those long balls depending on the difficulty (Heisman). But other than that I love that the D plays tough and makes you think on how you want to play. If its to hard and you don't like the challenge go to freshman or something cause as it is now there is a challenge as long as you don't exploit the long ball to often. And coach progression needs tune no two ways about that, but I don't know if that is gameplay for you or not. I just figured I would mention it since it may or may not effect the progression.

Its sad that we're actually afraid of EA breaking the game again while trying to fix it

really says a lot

Wait wait wait.. I am really confused.. I thought people said the Deep ball was too easy? But seems like half the people say its too hard.. half say its too easy.. Kinda makes it sound just right...

Re: PLEASE don't patch the gameplay, EA....

No with the deep ball it's easier on Heisman due to the over aggresiveness of the D. They run a man press and they get beat off of it alot. Zone is great and thats why AA seems harder because the D runs alot of Zone. Safeties just don't react right or help doesn't come like it should when their Zone is flooded. But outside of that the game plays great. I play with Iowa State so if I do run a deep route I usually don't complete it so its no big deal to me but its a problem that should be fixed.

Patches, tuner packs, gameplay tweaks should NEVER be based off results in Heisman mode (or any non-sim mode).

That's like saying we should change gameplay because it's too easy to run the ball of Rookie/JV level.

Re: PLEASE don't patch the gameplay, EA....

Yea there is some issues, but for gameplay with the exception of DT and LB jumping ability, some issues where LB or player on defense watches ballcarrier run by with no reaction and deep ball issues, that's all that need touched. THAT'S IT.

some are complaining bout INT don't touch it. People need to learn to adjust to the game instead of wanting this perfect game that will never happen.

Re: PLEASE don't patch the gameplay, EA....

Sorry thats not what I ment by having it judged off of Heisman. It just shows up there because the press with coverage over the top is broken regardless of setting. Safeties in certain formations do react like they should. I just said Heisman because it shows up more due to the playing styles of the computer, but its not limited to that mode. (mainly because in AA it runs zone most the game)

I agree (only as of today lol)... no patches on gameplay, but please fix the FG kicks by CPU from to long of a distance and give us in-game saves back

Re: PLEASE don't patch the gameplay, EA....

I think the gameplay is average at best; however, my complaints are things that can't be patched. So, I agree. It plays pretty solid for most people, don't mess around with it too much. Instead of making up a bunch of patches to fix this year's gameplay, why don't you use that time to get started on the gameplay for next year's game?

Re: PLEASE don't patch the gameplay, EA....

They DO need to patch coverage of deep passes though. That needs work.

If crowd audio can be addressed, it's an absolute must. Biggest concern with the game for me by far, actually.

Re: PLEASE don't patch the gameplay, EA....

It seems that with all the improvements to zone, they forgot to add how NO ONE is supposed to get behind safeties, especially late in a close game.

Re: PLEASE don't patch the gameplay, EA....

I disagree, I think the game play does need a patch. there are some things the d does that frustrate me but meh. but what I cannot abide is that the option is dead and good running qb's are now just pocket passers. 90% of the time rg3 shouldn't be chased down inside out by a de when he moves out of the pocket. I understand why they did it, hey don't move a super fast wr to qb and just run out of the shotgun with him. I find it aggravating only because it takes a fun and vital part of the game out. I'm not talking a qb spy. That's cool if that guy tackles me it's on me.

Option worked great for me. First online game I ran speed/load option all over my opponent with Michigan.
