Holy ****ing wow.

Garbled first time again. Second time it was so glitchy, i could hear it, but it was just unplayable it was so annoying.

Way to drop the ball ea.

I'll definitely be trading this game in soon if another patch isn't released.

Update: removed all game data and disabled connection so i could play straight out of the box settings, no sound.

All menus have sound. Just not in-game.

**** ea.

This sounds like a you problem. If you deleted all game data and still have no sound, that has nothing to do with the patch.

Damn so the tackle assist issue and incomplete passes being counted as tackles wasn't important enough this time around?

Incomplete passes or deflections are not being counted as tackles, at least on 360. The choice of stay overlays and what it displays could be better, but it's not being counted as a tackle. It's showing how many tackles he has to that point.

It was late last night, but I noticed differences right away...and it's been near two weeks since I last played the game.

First, the patch was 496MB (PS3), and it took about 8 minutes overall to DL/install. I was hoping it was as big a deal as it seemed to be. For me, I was right.

The game loads every screen a ton faster.
Every touchdown now, finally triggers cut scene animations, and I saw ten different ones in my back/forth game against FSU.
Pass rush (edge rushers, especially) finally bring it, so I feel like the slider set I have means more.
WR's make their cuts a lot more effectively, and again, the slider set means more finally...I'm not just seeing separation with the better WR's...I'm seeing the standout CB's finally "standing out."
The running physics seem a little tighter to where every person that even touches me causes a reaction, as opposed to some warp/sliding off a lot before. Some might get annoyed by this, but I like every little thing to matter.
The passing game feels better, too. When FSU changed their defensive coverage, it mattered. I had to adapt a lot more.
Best of all, every screen is fast to load...no lagging...no glitches.
Stats, though, I didn't take the time to see if they were doing correctly. I just really needed to play a game of football on the field more than anything, and I'm happy to have that well enough.

I'm basically waiting for the world to end, now because this is obviously too nice.

Just started 3 games with my rtg post patch. 1st time sound was so garbled i couldn't even hear the crowd. Restarted the game, no sound at all. Restarted again, same thing. I'm reinstalling the patch now to see if that fixes anything.

I'm on ps3.

Will post again if issue continues.

If it does... Wow.

Holy ****ing wow.

with all the ps3's in town, and only your copy doing this, i'd likely put the blame on my console first.

There is a definitive difference in gameplay especially on the pass from this patch. DBs actually are paying better attention (or maybe the WRs aren't just running right past them). I threw a TON more interceptions last night trying to make passes that would have been completed before the patch. This is a GOOD thing as most of them were passes where the DBs *should* be breaking up the pass.

The block shedding is definitely improved as you can now run stop / block shed considerably better.

I don't know yet about cheese plays, but the CPU is no longer calling 1000 read options a game. It appears though that the read option still has the invulnerable QB during the handoff.

I USE DEFAULT SLIDERS though so maybe the reason some of you aren't noticing a difference is because you are using custom sliders that make the changes less obvious.

Now that we "know" what was in the patch and that gameplay wasn't touched are these "improvements" people are talking about just the placebo affect?

Yes. This always happens right after release or right after an update. People see one thing they may not see very often (like a pass interference), then come here to report it must be fixed now, even though there was no mention of it in the notes. It isn't until they play ten more games or so that they realize it was just a coincidence that they were more sensitive to than usual because they are looking for fixes that they hope are there. Give it a few days and the consensus will be that the gameplay is more or less the same.

First, we don't "know" gameplay wasn't touched. EA is notorious for not saying everything they fixed, especially regarding crippling gameplay bugs. They did say "other fixes".

Secondly, while I see your point regarding a placebo effect, I threw six damned picks to effing TROY after the patch. Six. I played about three or four games last night and in total was throwing and getting more picks, seeing a lot more broken up passes, and actually getting coverage sacks.

So I'd argue that while one night is not a huge amount of data compared to the amount of games I've played thus far, I have hard evidence the game is actually better as far as DB play goes.

^^^If I remember correctly from reading the patch notes, it seemed they did make gameplay adjustments but did not care to elaborate on the changes they did make.

[nortobc]

nobody else having this problem ?

We had this issue. I think it has to do with one person having the uniform store thing and the other user not.

You must have not read the part where they said

The title update includes multiple fixes to streamline presentation and performance, as well as the following gameplay improvements and enhancements (among others):

http://www.easports.com/ncaa-football/news-updates-gameplay/article/ncaa-14-patch-2

so i think we "know" that both gameplay improvements and enhancements were included, we just don't know exactly what.

Played one game last night after downloading the patch. Halfway through the game, the framerate started chugging, just like it did before. Very unfortunate.
