I don't know if its the AI aggressiveness or play calling, but safety play is horrible on Heisman. literally any 3rd and long will be completed if you call a play that has 1 WR on a streak pattern. A streak patten against the AI right before half or the end of the game is almost a guaranteed TD every time. This isn't with just a slot receiver, but with the outside receivers. The safety takes 1 or 2 steps forward at the beginnig of the pay and the WR will get behind everybody 7 out of 10 times.

In addition the AI playcalling is pretty horrendous. I can hold almost any team to 17 points or less.

This is with no gameplanning gimmicks and only controlling the DT. If you jack up the AI running sliders, they can get a run game going, but its just because they will blow your line up and break tackles. The AI has a real difficulty passing. This is with the AI passing sliders jacked way up and the human sliders dumbed down on Heisman. If the AI call an option play to the weak side, the AI RB trails behind the QB 5 to 8 yards and it leads to a loss of 5 or so yards every time.

Hopefully the can tweak the gameplay to fix it, but right now, for me, its almost unplayable. Going to continue to work on sliders over the next week, but odds are slim of developing sliders that will emulate the college game. The human QB is way too accurate even at 0. Long balls are almost always on the money and the slant patterns are almost money every time.

Honestly... Keep trying ea, bc u haven't gotten it yet.. One month wasted... 11 months to develop the same ol bs

i have had it with this game for now.....

i am not one to believe in conspiracy theories but post patch the offensive playcalling is garbage...

i have done the coach sliders( normal and reversed) nothing seems to stop the cpu from calling all go routes.....

on 3rd and 10, 90% of the time the cpu will throw a hailmary, its an easy pick...
the cpu seems to be allergic to punting....

first it was too many screens now its 4 verts on first down, and mandatory in long 3down rd passing situations...

i can defend it perfectly but seeing the cpu go 1 for 12 on 3rd downs is annoying.....

I have lurked through these forums for years, and these no huddle glitch comments have made me create an account. First and foremost, the no huddle "I can't hear you" problem is 100% without any doubt, a major glitch. This is not realistic in any way. There is no way the dev team would have put this in the game. In college, the teams that run the no huddle run the no huddle well. The purpose of the no huddle is to give the defense minimal time to react, and the offenses that run the no huddle make sure that communication is not an issue. That's why it's the receivers and backs looking to the sideline. They are getting hand signals or in some cases number's/pictures, and don't have to worry about hearing anything. The quarterback ONLY and I mean ONLY verbally relay information to the offensive line. Watch Oklahoma run their offense. Backs and receivers look at the sideline at 3 different coaches in a different color shirt making signals, sometimes only one coach is live, sometimes they are all live but signaling different groups (RB and FB, QB and receivers), but I cannot stress to you enough how in the no huddle offense, the quarterback and receivers do not interact with each other when the play is called/changed. Before the patch, EA did this pretty well. After the patch, they broke it. This was not a deliberate change, it couldn't be. These animations have been in the game for years, but only when you audibled and changed the play in a hostile stadium, in which case the quarterback is changing the play himself. There is no way to defend this as being "just an unrealistic change to the no huddle." This is not a change to it, this is a glitch.

I've got bad news for you: EA did this on purpose, and said as much on their NCAA twitter account.

Hey Fist - please post your results if you stumble upon sliders that work. Your Heisman sliders for 11 and 12 made those games challenging and playable. I haven't bought 13 yet after renting and seeing the deep ball problems most are experiencing. I hoped the patch would fix the problems, but it sounds like it's still a major gamebreaker, unless one makes up a house rule against ever throwing to a streaking receiver in this game.

I am working on something right now....think I stumbled upon a fix.......I am going to test tonight and tomorrow night and will post something here soon.

Check out my varsity sliders and post comments about the safety play.

Re: NCAA Football 13 Title Update #2 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

All of the safety problems and non existant pass rush from AI defensive ends is coming from the AI using the gameplanning gimmicks on higher levels.

Pretty much all of the AI defensive shortcomings can be fixed by playing on Varsity.

Now I just have to find the right slider set to make the game play well, I am getting close, but have to do more tonight.

The gameplanning gimmick is ruining the game, EA needs to remove those completely from the game and make the players perform on their abilities.

It's ironic because I feel the things the CPU does on AA and Hesiman that it doesn't do or doesnt do as often on Varsity (game planning, all-out blitzes and predictive play calling) actually make the game easier in a lot of ways, unless you restrain yourself with a lot of House Rules.

Re: NCAA Football 13 Title Update #2 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

On AA default sliders...

CPU pass D is ******** now.

All I need is a Trips formation, HB motion to the weakside and least 3 routes are open (short/mid/bomb) every play. And yeah, I've seen LB's follow the HB out and then BLITZ IN! Safety play doesn't even matter if that BS is happening.

Human Pass D is SUPERHUMAN.

I've been picking off QB's 5, 6, 11 times a game just playing Man Cover 2 with an aggressive DL rush. This is ridiculous.


...

So, who can point me to some sliders 'cause this patch has me winning 70-10 now?

The human QB is way too accurate even at 0. Long balls are almost always on the money and the slant patterns are almost money every time.

Finally someone that knows the game. This with the Saftey play are my biggest issues. QB at 0 should be almost every pass overthrown. Why having a 0-100 range then?

my experience has been completely opposite of what you've stated.

On both? Really? Wow.

Sending the Hb on a fly is either a touchdown or massive clear out every time.

Man to man with two deep safeties with aggressive dl, conservative strip/hard hits turns them into 2000 ravens.

Second year of my dynasty with Ole Miss.

Re: NCAA Football 13 Title Update #2 Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

I thought the latest patch really improved the gameplay especially the CPU safeties. However the offline dynasty freeze glitch has rose its ugly head again. Anyone else having this issue post patch #2? I mean I really enjoy this game always have but in all my years of playing video games I have never encountered a game that has had so many problems, its crazy.

Why can't this game just work.. Is it really that hard to make a video game, it's 2012. Whens patch number 3?

Nothing came up on search, but has anyone else been unable to hand off on PA Read plays since the update? I keep holding down the X button (PS3) as the back/flanker crosses but haven't been able to hand it off a single time.

I have (I'm on 360).
