NCAA Football 13 Tuner Update Released, Coach Trust Points and LB Reaction Adjusted

[bellaballa]

EA Sports has released a tuner update for NCAA Football 13. Check out the details below and let us know what you're seeing.

The latest NCAA Football 13 tuner update is now available on the Xbox 360 and PS3.

The rate that you earn/lose coach trust points in Road to Glory has been adjusted in the tuner update.

The tuner update also addresses the way LBs react to option plays in NCAA Football 13.

Re: Tuning update notification

They fixed the way the LB's react to option? How about the way the corners who stand around doing nothing react? How about the safeties react to option...actually the way they react to everything needs to be tunedx100.

I guess when i considered it, i thought it was cool they were making game play adjustments, before waiting for a patch.

Wish they would tune user swat and int responsiveness soon

Re: Tuning update notification

I find it odd that they didn't say "in what way" they changed the way LB's react to the option, otherwise its just a vauge statement that we are still left to figure out for ourselves?????

Re: Tuning update notification

So far I think it means that they just defend it even more perfectly than before. I usually like to do a dynasty with Army, but I skipped it last year the option was so broken. I'm not all the way through the game yet, but it's being blown up worse than ever.

Any impressions of gameplay post second tuner? I don't have the first one downloaded and won't download this one unless I hear several accounts of additional improvements in gameplay besides the stuff that was listed.

As has been mentioned, if they can tweak how the LB's react to the option in this tuner, why didn't they make some tweaks to CB's and Safeties as well.

I was hoping for a user swat/pick update.

Re: Tuning update notification

From what I seen on default All American, Linebackers react slow to it and DB's in they are in man, don't notice it at 1st because they follow the WR 1st. Block shedding across the board seemed to have been tuned down as well. Not seeing many defensive linemen instantly shedding their blocks on option plays or run plays to the outside like before. Nor if you run up the middle do they instantly do a 180 and tackle you.

OL do a much better job blocking now too. How ever they get highly confused if you blitz. Quite funny to watch a linemen trying to decide who to block, the incoming LB or the DL right in front of him.

QBs run much harder now on option plays. Seen a couple new break tackle animations. Over all the break tackle attempts by ball carriers have increased. They try to spin out of tackles a lot more. They aren't successful at it though most of the time, but it is nice they at least attempted to break the tackle. When they do successfully break a tackle though, look out, they put it in 3rd gear.

Defensive pursuit across the board seemed to have been tuned down as well. Their catch up speed isn't as fast as it use to be. So now you literally can see players running around another player only 3 feet away from them and not get caught.

Seen Georgia Tech do an option play from their own 5 yard line. QB was in the end zone, LB came, I thought oh cool safety, nope, QB just ran around him and turned what normally would have been a 8 yard lost and a safety to a 15 yard gain. Once he got to the corner he was gone.

That seems to be the overall theme now. If they can turn the corner, they are gone, for a good 8 yards or more. Screen plays have improved, DTs don't run as fast up the middle anymore. So now you will see screen plays go for big yards.

The CPU is kind of like a roller coaster now. 1st quarter they play really good. 2nd and 3rd quarter they play so so, come 4th quarter they kick it up to high gear and the best players on the team really step up.

All in all the CPU can now run the option pretty effective. Their positive yard rate success rate is around 70%. A lot of 3 and 4 yard gains, with some 16 and 30 yard gains sprinkled in with some 4 yard loses every now and then.

Way better then before.

Now EA needs to fine tune special teams and defensive ends pass rush.

Re: NCAA Football 13 Tuner Update Released, Coach Trust Points and LB Reaction Adjust

I didn't really notice anything at all. Option plays, using traditional option teams, are still pretty useless.

At least EA recognizes the issue.

That's the first step.

Maybe EA could make the line block better on option plays or decrease the defensive line's ability.

If only they could fix the HORRIBLE cpu qb sacks on screen passes. In all their testing, did they NEVER catch this was an issue????

I was hoping for a user swat/pick update.

I personally don't feel anything is wrong with swat/pick. Remember the defender has to see the ball to react, there aren't anymore "user eyes behind the head" swats/picks anymore.

Hope this helped, I was not trying to put down your post.

So they fixed something not many people complained about.

I don't get what your saying I had AI try three field goals inside 35 yards. They missed 2 of 3.
