I was wondering the same thing. Any of them end up to be "gems" down the road? Was also wondering about the 4 and 5 star recruits. Any busts?

Too bad there is no pocket scout program that works with the PS3 or we could figure this out in a matter of minutes by just downloading a save file and running it through the program. Oh well, guess we'll have to wait for the 360 patch to see the true results of this.

I played an online game just after the patch released early this morning, it was before the tuner set was released, so it was probably a mistake for me to play, but I was bored.

I was Michigan running Air Force's option playbook with Robinson. He was Auburn running the Auburn spread. I absolutely dominated this guy running the ball.

The odd part about the game was my defense vs. him. He tried running four verticals all game and was not successful at all. I ran a combination of straight man and Cover 2 Buc in Nickel 335 and he ended up throwing 4 INT's. Now this guy was terrible, so this probably wasn't a good judge, but I did find that zone coverage was much better than pre-patch. Man coverage was very loose, but I found success in dropping my DB's way off the line of scrimmage. They reacted a lot better to deep routes. Whenever I pressed, my guys got burned pretty bad. I'm not sure how much of a role the press rating has in that, but I thought it was interesting.

Pass protection wise, I didn't see any improvement. He sacked me a few times with 4 man rushes when my OL didn't even bother touching a guy. I sacked him a few times on huge blitzes, but most of my sacks came when he tried scrambling and I was in DE Contain.

I don't know, it was just one game vs a terrible opponent and it was before the tuner set, but I don't see any overwhelming changes. I'll hop on in a bit and see what else I notice.

Any PS3 offline dynasty players noticing depth chart issues?

I just read through 38 pages and have not seen a single person comment that they have seen in-season progression working.

What's the deal PS3 gamers?

Pass defense is atrocious. Zero pressure unless you blitz. Zones are broken to the point of almost being worthless, and now man can get gashed for huge gains with relative consistency.

Really, the only people that you aren't going to be able to complete 80% of their passes, or at least pass with tremendous effectiveness, are those that aren't very good.

I just played Va Tech with Pittsburgh, who has 2 impact DEs. You'd think that I could be able to generate a decent pass rush and slow them down by sitting in zone and waiting for Taylor to make a mistake. But they got absolutely no rush at all. He'd drop back and wait 5+ seconds and then simply scramble around and either throw it away or take off for positive yards. So then I started bringing blitzes, but of course that opened up holes in coverage. I ended up winning on the back of a few interceptions, but it was clear that there's no way to consistently play good defense. It's more or less NCAA '09 with slightly better man to man defense (aka Madden).

You might want to read through them again since I remember seeing at least 4 posts claiming they saw small +1/2 changes on their players throughout the year. It's nothing major but it's there.
