before another title update. GIVE US A DAMN TUNER.

That's what I'm saying.

I really hope they address the lack of fumbles....My RB at various sliders just passed the 1500 carry mark without a fumble.

Re: Title update #4 is in the works

fix the corners on the option, the custom playbooks, tendency glitch, freezing issue and the fact that the penalty sliders mean nothing. If they can fix those things then this game will be a lot better. It'd be nice to actually see a Pass Interference called. Ive had my slider at 100 the entire time i've had the game and i am yet to see a Pass Interference called in 30+ games.

I am surprised they are even doing a 4th patch but hopefully they add a tuner set with this patch.

with penalty sliders its better to just bump up a slider like roughing the passer, and pretend that it is apass interference call. I have learnt to use my imagniation with this game, instead of worrying about freakishly stupid interceptions, just be thankful everytime the computer drops an easy pick.

The good with the bad my friend.

have you ever thought about testing a lower ball carrying rating to force more fumbles?

i understand but if there's a PI without the QB being hit then that does no good or if there is no PI and they throw a Roughing QB call thats no good as well. It would just frustrate me.

I just don't understand why they even bother putting penalties in the game if they aren't going to call them. I think it has a lot to do with the poor WR/DB interaction in this game but to go 30+ games without a single PI called is beyond ridiculous considering there is at least 1 or 2 thrown in every game in real life.

Re: Title update #4 is in the works

Problem is the game recognizes it by button presses. Just like when the CPU throws the ball in a way that should be flagged for intentional grounding. For some reason, EA Sport pretty much made it need to be triggered by a button press rather than by contact.

Hopefully, they can get this out by Halloween. I'm glad that they are making the effort to fix the broken stuff. Fingers crossed all goes well.

Big run set to aggressive is the only solution to this problem. I've noticed that when I use my lean stick to the left or right in order to protect the ball my RB is likely to fumble.

Can someone remember which game last gen actually had the WR and DB going through an occasional bump animation when the ball was in the air? They would call a PI every time. I think it was 06 or 07.

Re: Title update #4 is in the works

PS2 when reggie bush was on the cover, I think is the last time I have seen consitent PI calls being made, I also remember alot more tip drill picks

Re: Title update #4 is in the works

I just want the CPU to stop trying 60 yard field goals on Heisman. That is all I care about at this point. Please EA. Please fix this.

Re: Title update #4 is in the works

It won't be out by halloween, thanksgiving is a ideal date.

It took them a month from a formal announcement to get 2 out, it will be at least november before they get it out to MS and Sony. Then add two weeks on that.

I might actually dust the game off and start working on Tyler Starks again if this patch delivers. But Fifa and Dead Island are occupying my time now.

Re: Title update #4 is in the works

I love that they are at least working a 4th patch, but no yearly release title should need four patches. There's just no excuse for it.

Yeah, I can do that, but I can't get a setting where the AI RB fumbles either without totally nerfing their running game.

Editing 9,000 D1 players isn't a solution either.

It just needs a little tweak, it was fine in year's past.

Re: Title update #4 is in the works

Good for them for working on patch 4, but it's a troublesome sign too. See, by this time production should really start getting bumped towards NCAA 13 -- unless they're just rinsing and recycling the engine and doing little else other than a "roster" update. Devoting resources to 12 is possibly starting to take away from 13 at this time frame.

That they're working so far away from the release date shows just how much they know they have screwed up with this game this year. And while they have patched and fixed some issues, other issues are just looming far too large.

Why can't the new recruit tendencies be fixed? It makes long term Dynasties practically worthless. Eventually 2/3 of the players' tendencies are screwed up throughout the NCAA, and it shows on the field in a terrible way.

And Heisman FG kicking? Seriously? That has to be a fix that is as simple as tweaking one threshold -- one value that somehow got bumped around with the last update. There's really no excuse for that kind of bungle.

Well, there is one: no competition = no need for attention to detail.

I'm pessimistic about what this update will bring. Because at this point EA can't even compete with themselves. That's sad.
