The HB's stop and wait for a second then run out. I'm doing this in practice mode by the way. That's all I've noticed so far.

You do realize that the average starting point after kickoff returns in college is around the 32 yard line right? Those numbers aren't out of line and working sliders should help if they are a little off.

I don't even have an issue with the kickoff returns now for the most part. Its the punt returns that were horrible. It was way too easy to return punts at over 20 yards a pop. How is the coverage on those?

Only played a qtr and really didnt mess too much with sliders but the kickoff coverage was much better. Saw 3 of 'em not reach past 30yd line.

The KR/PR seems to be better, especially punt returns.

Just to see if the pass rush was helped at all due to the other fixes, I put my settings on All-American, with the human and CPU pass block sliders set at 0 and both break block sliders set at 100. Everything else was at 50.

I played Temple vs Georgia (me). Temple sacked Stafford 3 times. I only sacked Temple 1 time on a busted HB screen. I blitzed about 50% of the downs. The problem was Temple's QB would pass to a slot receiver or TE .25 seconds after the snap every time, especially on a blitz. It didn't matter how covered the receiver was, the QB would still throw the ball. It's impossible for a defender to reach the quarterback that fast.

Kickoff coverage has been drastically improved.

I was playing with CPU RB Ability up at 80 and they were pretty good on Heisman but a lot of it felt like the old Heisman level where your players get to the ball but their RB breaks a crazy amount of tackles.

Thank you

Sliders? Are they working for both now? Good news on the special teams, that was my major issue along with sliders.

LOL at you thinking Arkansas State should dominate Michigan's d-linemen. You obviously aren't a Michigan fan if you thought that. Seriously man what are you smoking? If I see another 90 rated d-linemen get pancaked by a 70 rated o-linemen I may go crazy. That simply should not happen. The pass rush is broke this year no slider will change that.

yea because last year our 90 rated linemen busted through every play against app st right? Wake up dude. Look at our d-line vs say USC then tell me they dont suck in the game this year. I will say this tho i jumped the gun on calling it fixed. It is not fixed after 4 games now. Same old crap. Robo QB is still in as you predicted and the dline struggles to get pressure no matter what you do. Maybe the penalty adjustments will save us who knows.

OHHH!. I like the CPU throwing deep on me. Caught me off guard. It woke me up.
