A QB with 40 awareness gains 1 point overall right away as you increase him to 41 awareness But the point is awareness doesn't impact every position the same way....some players can go up 6 awareness points before you see the overall increase. You may not have even noticed them boosting up awareness because depending on positions a guy can get a increase up and have it not even effect his overall rating.

Yeah i know that. The other guy who did the simming said his team LA Monroe had 4 players with 90+ awareness. I saw nothing like that. Alabama had that many players with that high of awareness. But not team like UL Monroe had anything like that.

Wheres the in-season progression they were talking about. Thats MIA still.

Ok seriously, I am having defenders dive through players trying to tackle them and I don't mean that figuratively, literally, THROUGH their bodies.

The default pursuit got downright brutal. I can't get pressure bringing 6 vs. a 5 man front, but I see a ton of sacks on 3 man rushes.

Superman LB's are still there.

DE's with hour long hang time are still there.

Psychic DB's are still there except now they don't play the ball, they just run the route, get out of position and then watch as a the WR runs away with the ball.

Again, this is online lobby play, so theoretically sliders might be able to fix this, but that doesn't really help those of us that don't play offline.

And forget about running man to man on a running back, no matter where your man lines up, the back will beat him to the edge.

Ive been playing a lot of zone D from the beginning..I havent had much of an issue with it.

Ok concentrate:

Buy game, love game at first, talk about everything that is broken which makes in unplayable. Complain till get patch, try patch, like patch till further testing.

Complain enough and get another patch, broken patch equals a close meltdown. 3rd patch promised so people dont freak out.

3RD patch released, meltdown commences. There is no stopping the meltdown. Servers crash, controllers are destroyed. Ea laughs all the way to the bank (even though they paid for this patch). Wash hands of ncaa, rinse and repeat next year.

Moral of story: I just want a good game of football when I get home from being at work or school all day(apexbronx thought) and not have to worry about how having to stand on one leg and bark like a chicken so that the ratings, progression and physics line up to get the football experience I am looking for which according to EA is in the game.

I'm not seeing any of this online. Actually i love the game play, players actually flow to the ball you can still run man and zone now works for me. and i'm playing against top 20 guys so i'm not sure about what you are talking about here.

When I upload these videos in a few minutes, I want you to tell me zone works. Don't get me wrong, it hasn't gotten worse than it was before, but don't tell me it has improved.

It might be your play calling bro, because zones have been good for me. i must admit that hook zones drop back a liitle too far but they come up and make the tackle. But i am actually liking the pass and run defense. Along with everything else.
