NCAA Football 11 Patch #2 Available with Details, Post Your Impressions Here

[rudyjuly2]

The cpu run block and human rush defense slider are broken now. You really can't adjust the cpu running game other than RBA and human tackle. So you either like the way the game plays or you don't and have to live with it.

I used to like this patch and now I just want to delete it. All American is unplayable now for me since the cpu run blocking is so bad. My NT has 21 tackles for loss in 7 games. I'm going to try Heisman for awhile and if that fails I will be deleting this patch. They fixed a few nice things but broke a crucial area for me.

I came to the same conclusion today as well. I was playing on AA as well and adjusted the CPU tackle to compensate as the other sliders did nothing to help, but the D still plays too inconsistent for me now unlike before. I may try Heisman now myself and see if anything improves.

Ok...Played a offline dynasty game at maryland in the rain... 5 min quarters...PS3 and finally had some dirty unis.... I guess it's just very picky...

Is there someone who can post the patch and new tuner online for download? I'm not able to connect my ps3 to the internet at this time, and I would like to see what all the fuss is about in regard to how the game is different or isn't different.

I have searched and read some 15-20 pages here but could not find my answers. I would like to know how progression looks after the 1st tuner set? I saw where after the second set and patch there was zero progression. I also would like to know if the recruits look any different? I would run test myself but I don't have any time. I have not played a game in a few weeks. I don't want to invest time in a game that is a waste. I only play offline dynasty mode so progression is very important to me. If anyone has done any test or have advanced past year 1. Any info would be great. It's hard to get gaming in when you have a wife, kid, and a demanding job. Thanks for any help.

This is not possible. The ONLY way to get patches and tuning sets is to connect to the EA servers through the online game option.

I don't have first hand info other than one recruiting class. The ratings for the recruits coming in seem higher and better. Many people are either happy with it or are still a bit upset that they are too low. The default rosters still remain higher than what you see 5-6 years down the road but I don't think it's a game killer. They did increase the number of better kickers although many still feel it could have gone farther. I think it's safe to say there are still issues but I think most people think the new progression system is acceptable and not a game killer. Some do but most don't. The zero progression bug was only a 2 hour thing. The second patch with the tuning set fixed that.

From one class my 4* kids are normally around 75-77 with one that was an 81. 5* kids are better. 3* kids are between 64 and close to 70 depending on the quality from what I've seen. Many people look into this stuff far more than I so you will have to search.

I will say that I think Heisman is very playable this year. Yes it's hard at default but not as hard as year's past imo. Plus I don't see any cheating or crap with adjusted sliders. I've played a bunch of games recently and I'm very happy with it. The big difference seems to be the overly agressive cpu defense. They do press and blitz more than on AA.

Rudyjuly2: Thanks for the response. I don't mind the lower overalls but I can't deal with the poor kickers/punters and other positions with low ratings in key areas (ie 5* WR's with a D catch or 3* QB's with 60's THP & THA). I think most 5*'s should be rated 77-81 but in doing so they should not have low ratings in areas that effect how they play. I know EA said the the AWR rating only applied to QB's how come you can lower any players AWR and the overall will drop? I think I may download the 2nd patch & tuner set and see what happens. I have some time to play the game but I'm not due to the progression issue so I guess we will see how it goes.
