NCAA Football 11 Patch To Be Released Tomorrow (Release Day)

If the CPU QB takes a safety then when they kick it off to you i'd immediately take a safety as well, then kick the ball back to them. It'd be a workaround anyways.

I'd imagine that pretty much every single game is flawed right out of the box. NCAA wouldn't be any different.

Yeah, I thought about that and it might be the way to go until this gets patched...the only problem is that you're giving the CPU extra field position that you didn't get. (on the safety punt) Probably the only way to make it fair, though.

Hopefully we don't have to see this bug and use that workaround too many times before it gets patched.

Lol Duh!!.... Thanks BK

Ok.. and wow the QB moves pretty freaking fast it seems..

Ok what if the speed settings were on slow and the speed thresh hold was adjusted to realistically set a difference between fast and slow players? Would that make it better in terms of getting to the QB before the safety?

Probably over thinking it as I'm sure a fix will be here soon...

well as long as they get it fixed quickly then it'll be ok



Now when you have things like this linger for weeks and months.....and lets face, EA has a track record of that.....then I think its fair to get ticked off

It sucks but if you're not able to at least temporarily access online then you're going to have to expect issues to crop up in games right out of the box and, in my opinion, start figuring out how you can get your console online, at least temporarily. Bugs have been around as long as video games have been programmed.

Thankfully in this day and age we have online connectivity to be able to address bugs, unlike in the years past when one was just screwed by them. Whose fault is it if people choose to ignore, or are unable to, take advantage of that aspect of today's technology?

I don't like bugs anymore than anyone else but personally I think it's pretty silly that not only do people expect game companies to program perfect games but then they expect when they don't that somehow they should be able to figure out how to get a fix to you when you're not online like the majority of other gamers in this day and age are.

So in my opinion, bottom line, is that you should get your console/PC's online if you plan on playing games or quit complaining.

3 times in about 15 games.

The QB is fast as hell when he takes off, and all 3 times have been inside their 25 yard line, so I have come no where near catching him.

I can give you my links later if you like, or just hit EASportsWorld and search for ExtremeGamer, they are there. I've also posted them here somewhere, but it would be in my post history.

You don't have internet at home?
