This is all I've tested so far, and I haven't tested much, but so far my biggest complaint appears to have been addressed. CPU is much smarter on D now.

This sounds great. Keep us updated - particularly on the 3rd down blitzes since I know that annoyed you.

what you mean by "trouble".also, do u have patch 1 or 2 for the ps3?

Has anyone who had a dynasty file in process with the old recruits, and then sim into a new season with the new updated freshman recruits see any major difference?

Where 3 stars who were usually 64-69, are now 69-76, 4 stars now 72-80?

I also think I noticed defenders in zone doing a better job of shadowing receivers coming into their zone. I watched one dimeback do it against me and it took me a while to realize the CPU wasn't actually playing man.

That's really good to hear about zone coverage. I was hoping that was improved with the patch because after Patch #2, it was almost pointless to call zone.

Default All American Run D slider dropped to 20.

Jaquizz's final stats for the CPU:
18 Att. 111 Yds 1 TD long of 33.

Of note the final was 24 - 23 me in OT. Both teams had LB's lead in tackles with 11 and 9 respectively.

I've only played enough for one full game, and it could be the placebo effect, but it's seemed much improved so far. 3 of the INTs I threw were on 3rd down and on plays that I would typically run on 3rd since they would beat the CPU's blitz. The CPU will still send defenders on the blitz and I was able to complete a huge 50 yard pass against a zone blitz out of nickel, it was far less infrequent and felt more like I was just beating the rush by getting blocking and making a good playcall rather than simply exploiting the huge gaps caused by the CPUs predictable playcalling.

Obviously I'll need to play more to be sure it's legit, but so far so good.

Great now we are going to see NCAA 2010 from July to October of last year where every team was an A+

To anyone who has the updates:

How's the play action pass? Will the DEs still easily beat the tackles too often?
