Tuning files are limited and were only designed by EA to get around having to release and pay for patches through MS and Sony. EA started the tuning packs with their NHL series and that's where they are used best. From what I've read they release multiple tuning packs which are independent from each other and users can decide which pack to use based on their gameplay desires. The NCAA team hasn't gotten that sophisticated yet. Last year they seemed to use the tuning patch to address progression issues more than anything.

Here's the difference:

Patches: Need approval from MS and Sony which can hold up the process for weeks. Because of this devs try to put as many BIG fixes into these as possible as quickly as possible. These issues are also more complicated than those dealing with core gameplay fixes (like the tendency and freezing issues).

Tuner Sets: Need NO approval from MS and Sony. Because of this devs can take their time on these, get the gameplay right without having to worry about their hard work getting delayed weeks by an approval process. This is why you will see the majority of gameplay fixes in tuner patches.

Trust me, EA is aware of the deep route issues, and other odd gameplay quirks. As I said, I am sure they will announce information on what the tuner fixes at a later date.

Ya I already made a thread on that. I didn't know it was actually a rule either and I currently play high school football

Learn how to mix your coverages up using a combination of man and zone, and maybe you will have a lower chance of getting taken up top.

While I hate to wreck your use of hyperbole or your crusade to criticize all things EA football, last year progression was adjusted by tuners not patches.

The CPU tends to do that when they are being gashed by the run, safeties tend to creep up to help defending the run. Maybe they should just change the way the defense reacts to what the opponent has been doing so that it does not overreact.

I dont see that as being a "deep ball issue" though.
