Locking up 2 for 2 when trying to check sliders/rosters in the main menu navigation area. Wow, what crap this is.

Thanks. Those stats are awful hard to find on the internet since its not an official statistic.

Have the same problem with my roster file except for patch 1 has caused it to freeze everytime I try to open it. I just had Adam tell me that roster files that were ok before the first patch would work fine after it, what a load of BS.

The kickoff coverage and punt coverage is improved still not great but improved. As far anything else like the pass rush it is exactly the same and people thinking it is better must be suffering from the placebo effect. All-American creates a slight pass rush just like before but still nowhere where it needs to be. I should be able to constant pressure rushing only 4 or 5 against bad teams.

I think the reason EA did this was to help tone down the cpu INTs. Whenever they get pressured, they tend to make bad decisions and throw too many picks. To help fix the QB AI, they just boosted the pass blocking so they wouldn't make as many dumb decisions.

In the game I played, no kickoff return got past the 30 yd line.

Sure they didn't tone down the pass rush to create wide open gameplay. Also if that was the case maybe they should have thought of actually improving the QB AI instead of ruining the pass rush which for the record has never been this bad in any NCAA game before.


^^^Did I not say improved, but improved and great are two different things. The gunners are better but the pursuit angles are still terrible. Calling it great would definatly be an exageration. There were two returns for td's in the first half of the very first game I played mainly because the pursuit angles are still bad.

the one thing i really really really hate is when the computer runs the ball late in the game then as soon as you use your final time out....instead of running out the clock they decide to throw and most of the time its a horible throw..ive intercpted 2 or 3 late in the game this way and it drives me nuts...i hope this is fixed
