What things can be patched?

[BigDofBA]

We always compile of a list of things that need to be patched the day these games come out.

What is realistically possible to patch?

The secondary's ability to cover the deep ball in zone coverage.

While running the option, fix the CB freezing while the RB just runs by.

Those among others.

Re: What things can be patched?

Yeah I'm wondering what problems EA already knows about. Most of the problems users had were figured out in just a few hours, some even one game. The DBs let WRs go bye, CPU QBs not throwing on screen passes, CPU calling too many screen plays, and the CPU option. If those things are fixed then I think most would be fine with the game. Give us those fixes on a first day patch and people would be ecstatic. SO hopefully they already knew about these and more problems.

Re: What things can be patched?

after playing 10 games, in no order:

- screens
- option plays
- db zone D
- uniform and field degradation
- reduce the likelihood of rain during games
- reduce injury frequency of QB
- increase volume of ambient sound (crowd)

Re: What things can be patched?

Gotta preface this by saying I have only played online so far, and not against the computer.

1) Gotta fix the DB's being unable to stop a 10 yard hitch if they're not in bump n run. Its literally a free 10+ yards if the D is in man and not doing bump n run.

2) Everyone has said it already: Weak deep zone d's. Not just in zone defenses, but in man cover 2's, the safeties still get beat deep lol.

I literally ran 10 yard hitches all the way down field against the CPU on Heisman. Way too easy.

I know the answer is we are use to it and it is the only college football game, but let me get this straight, a billion dollar company puts out a product knowingly not camera ready and people buy it each year? They also use the same people to test, provide the research, and basically do the work they are PAYING a development team to do? AMAZING.......

Online leader-boards. First thing to be fixed since it should be easy and spits in the face of all online gamers.

Gameplay issues can be fixed after that.

Re: What things can be patched?

What's hilarious is that the frozen CB play on outside option runs was a huge problem last year as well. (I'm a Flexbone fan)

I soon learned last year that I couldn't sim in-game without a high probability of the game freezing up on me.

Absolutely hysterical that the exact same issues are arising again this year.

But hey! They spent three minutes and created Barry Sanders! Wow!

Re: What things can be patched?

Fix all of the AI issues widely discussed on these boards.

Also, fix the damn skinny arms glitch in the edit player menu. It's been what, four or five years now? I remember in '09 trying to make LeGarrette Blount look bigger only to have him end up with toothpick arms. It has been that long!
