This helps in defending against outside runs and quarterback scrambles as mentioned before * Pass defense has been greatly improved, both in man and zone coverage assignments * Tuned some out-routes out of the backfield that were too effective against man coverage. * Fixed some issues that caused receivers to drop catches they should have made. Again, this is also something that can be tuned further using AI Sliders. * Quarterbacks will no longer stutter when scrambling and crossing the line of scrimmage * Fixed an exploit that allowed you to consistently recover onside kicks.

I agree with these. I can't think of anything else I'd like added except maybe a couple more camera angles, but if that's the only problem I have this year then I'm a happy man.

it was just a glitch in the demo, I'm SURE they fixed it for final version...guess they just wanted to keep this under wraps? Oh That and the lack of FCS-D3 schools lol :P jk but I appreciate your sarcasm.

Also, if they DO put long hair/dreds back in, make it like it WAS, not like Madden IS...... hate having all those players just with long hair in a pony tail lol oh and hate how only black people can have it!

For glitches, I didn't see the referree camera angle glitch where it goes under the ground. Happens almost anytime the Ref has the camera... the camera swings sub-level so all you see are green textures. Might be on the list but I didn't see it.

For gameplay things, I really want a more effective pass rush. I feels like... for 10 years, there has been no d-line pass rush in any EA football videogames, that every sack has to come from a LB or CB, or randomly, from a d-lineman. I dunno, maybe it's just me.

Nice to see the NCAA Dev team making these changes to the retail version. I'm really looking forward to getting this game!

WOW! I love seeing a "patch" before the game even comes out. That's an impressive list and shows that ea is finally making the initiative this year to get things right before release day. I'm sure there will be many more things noticed once the game comes out("booth review" staying on the scorebar till the end of the game and texas pc helmets not having the single digit numbers centered) but this list shows me that maybe there won't be a huge patch or two this year!

i would like the last bits of info counting down to the nitty gritty now. i think they've done a good job with the info flow. other than the Teambuilder issue.

A solid list of fixes that appears to touch on just about all of the issues with the demo.

I'm even more geeked for the retail version than I was before.
