I agree. Not to mention, zone defense needs some work.

Outside of that, best football game in years....

Why do they want in season to only go up +1 for a whole season?

I find it very realistic for possibly a couple young guys on your team to get a lot of playing time, have a good (unexpected) year, and possibly go up +5 over the course of a season.. This is not unrealistic at all, and i would imagine every single team in real life sees guys go up dramatically over the course of a season.

+5? No thanks. I think the current implementation is a bit weak, but they don't need to go overboard either. Hopefully there is a good balance found sometime before NCAA 12 is released.

I also believe that AWR and skill ratings should be the only things progressing during a season.

so you dont think that irl certain players will progress greatly over the course of a season? i'm not saying the whole team, but surely there are surprise players on each team every year.

A surprise player in my opinion means someone who has performed better than their "rating". They should reward great season performance with higher offseason training progression.

You could raise a player's AWR by 6-7 points and still only increase OVR by 2. The athletic ratings play a large role in the OVR rating and those should never change during a season IMO. You don't see anyone getting faster, quicker, or stronger during a football season.

This is weird. I thought the tuning sets were primarily to handle gameplay issues, but so far they've been dynasty-related. Not what I was expecting at all.

Please just give the CPU the ability to run out of the shotgun. I'm holding spread running teams like Oregon to 20-50 rushing yards. Pro style teams run just fine, though. That's the only thing on my wishlist.

The psychic CPU defense on option plays is lazy and terrible. What's the point of a zone read play if every CPU defender knows where the ball is. Might as well just call designed run plays to a particular guy. Kills the fun factor of the game by a lot when silly little things get ignored. I personally don't care if my guys get smarter as the season goes on. I'd much rather have actual gameplay improvement.

LOL. Name me a player in NCAA history who has gotten 10% faster during a season. Players train in the offseason and that's where the athleticism progression belongs. They play and get banged up during a season.

This is ridiculous. The comment that dynasty is unplayable because of WR ratings is also ridiculous.

I hate the problems in this game just as much as the next man, but you're off the deep end with your comments.
