Yup, I got my first true truck animation when using Army's fullback the other day. I was like whoa--that actually works for the human now?!

My sense is that power runners now are better able to trigger those kinds of animations, which is a great thing. I've noticed that little pluggers like UMD's Meggett does more plowing and dragging of defenders than before. The animations are cool.

Yeah I think they added in new animations with that tuner or patch. I know they added 100s of new ones for Madden 12 with their latest roster update.

Because now in NCAA 12 I am seeing a lot more diving swats by CBs and diving catches by the cpu. And a hell of a lot more stop and go running by the cpu RBs.

This patch did nerf the cpu ability to run the spread and option offense though. They don't hold their block long enough, so now read option, speed option, HB toss, shotgun off tackle, etc get blown up in the backfield a lot more now when the CPU tries to run it.

Blocking on punt returns and kick off returns got a lot worse for the cpu as well. Gunners get down the field way too fast regardless of their speed rating on punts and on kick offs people simply either don't block anybody or don't hold their block long enough.

Another thing I noticed is that bad throws, are REALLY BAD throws now. And when a QB gets in a funk, you can really tell now. I had a QB last night get rattled and his passes was way off.

Probably the patch working correcting the rosters.. Since before the patch, the initial load time was much quicker.

Never noticed this before the patch... Just got a holding call and there is a cut scene that shows dejected players on the sideline. These players are your offensive starters that are on the field

It happened 6 or 7 times in a row. Is there any fix for this? Anyone else having this problem?

Same with me man, i didn't have freezing problems until recently...I actually didn't have any problem with the game and didn't realize there were so many complaints.

I'd been playing OD with a custom playbook and only had a small problem with the CPB's where the plays for you to select were blank. I found that easily fixed by simply deleting and making a new playbook. Other than that i had no problem that wasn't fixable running my OD.

It was only until a couple days ago i started having problems with the game. And i come on here and find out that a patch was released, Just great, a patch that has so far ruined my experience.

1 - My long used CPB couldn't be loaded so i had to make a new one...no big deal but still kind of annoying...

2 - When i run no huddle (i use Oregon and run my offense exactly like they do, no huddle every play) ...When i run no huddle i can only use the first formation listed in each formation category. (ex, if i wana run no huddle out of a shotgun form, i can only run it out of "Shotgun Normal" even though my initial play selection was "shotgun 4WR". This was irritating, but as usual i found ways to work around it and in the end it's not a big deal because i can still play. (to work around it i would just audible to deep pass,run,PA pass,etc, and it would go back to the initial form.

3 - This is the big one, and this is not fixable. Unlike all the other problems i've had with NCAA, where i can find ways to work around them, this one completely kills my experience and i can't do a thing about it...Freezes. Never had freezing problems before, now, anytime i'm in Online dynasty it freezes eventually. If i try to practice with my team, it freezes, everytime, tried it several times...I was chilling at the dynasty menu, doing other things, next thing i know my game was frozen, i hadn't even tried to do anything, it just froze.

so...thanks to this patch i can no longer play OD because i freeze everytime, and not to mention i havent even tried playing anything else, for all i know i may not be able to play anything on NCAA without it freezing on me. I can only hope this is a widely experienced issue that way EA works to fix it and do it fast. OD is the reason i love NCAA, i could careless about anything other than OD, I'm just hoping they didn't F me over to fix some gameplay issues that i never even noticed to begin with.

Yep, that's my post patch experiecne

I have seen others mention this but wanted to put in my two cents. I am really only an offline dynasty guy with few freezes prior to patch 2. I am getting freezes now on a regular basis. No pattern...had it happen during rosters changes, during sim, during game, etc. You name it I have had it happen. Is there anybody out there know if this is going to be addressed? There is no doubt my problems came with P2. It is frustrating because I am hearing all the positives with P2 but I can't go long enough to really see the changes.

I deleted the patch for the time being until they get this stuff sorted...the freezing being made worse just tears it for me. The game was playable and enjoyable (if buggy and glitchy and fiddly) before this last patch. At least I figured out how to delete the patch so now I can enjoy my offline dynasties against the CPU (and run a real no huddle) and I can still enjoy my face to face dynasty and games with my local friends I will just have to scrap online play for the time being and I am out of luck on building and using any new teambuilder teams.
