Play Action and Special Teams Still Suck

This game is getting very close to being crazy good. But honestly, the play action pass and special teams are still really flawed. Patch 4 maybe???????

Play action works about 60% of the time for me, which seems about right i think.

What is wrong wtih special teams?

Also, no patch 4, please no patch 4.

Wrong, wrong, wrong!!

Play action works sooo much better!! Do not believe the negativity, the games plays better post-patch.

As for special teams, kick off returns are near perfect, punt returns not so much. If you choose punt return middle and bring a linebacker or db back to pick up one extra blocker you can spring some nice returns, negating the need for any other tuning adjustments.

NCAA plays one great football game.

Thank you Ea, the best $60 I have spent in years.

I also found the PA works better now. THe OT's definitely hold their blocks better now and even the HB is helping after the fake much better now.

Re: Play Action and Special Teams Still Suck

Play Action works. It's not 100% of the time, but that is just fine.

Special Teams need reworked all the way, in every way, for NCAA 12. Punts, snaps, kickoff coverage, kickoff blocking, fake reverses, rugby punts, punt blocks, kick blocks....you get the point.

Disclaimer: I love this damn game! This is just an area that needs quite a bit of attention.
