Tuner Sets : In or Out ?

[Whoman]

Read some about the game supposedly using tuner sets (mini-patches) similar to how it was done in NHL last year, yet there hasn´t been anything official (to my knowledge) and also there seems to be no option in any of the menus coresponding with it.

Now, is it In or Out ? Yay or Nay ?

Yes, they are in. If you go to the file management screen one of the file types is "tuners." I'm not sure when EA will release them but they are definitely in NCAA 11.

thanks for your quick reply Very strange that they didn´t advertise them more, did good work for NHL last year.

what are they?

[Whoman]

more or less "mini-patches" that don´t need aproval by MS and Sony (as far as i am aware) and can also be undone as you can choose freely which tuner-set to apply (say they tone down fumbles but you like how fumbles are in a previous set you can go back to that) and switch between versions freely.

example from NHL :

Here's an example of what one of the NHL tuner sets did, so you can judge for yourself how it may be applicable to NCAA:

Quote:

### All modes -Poke check effectiveness increased -Ease of tripping a player when poke check lowered -Goalie tuning to prevent some exploit shots -Shot accuracy increased EASHL/OTP -Puck control down decreased (still higher than pre-V1.03) -Acceleration decreased -Top skating speed increased -Pass error decreased -Pass speed increased Versus -Acceleration decreased slightly -Puck control decreased (still higher than pre-V1.03) -Deflections increased (same as EASHL/OTP now) Offline (V1.03 only) -Screen effect increased -Range of acceleration slider increased. The lowest value is 25% lower than before the highest is the same. -Deflections increased (same as EASHL/OTP now) Highlights of the update include: -Increased variation in goalie positioning -Rebounds directed further to the side of the net -Small reduction in goalie reaction times, top speed and acceleration -Increase in screen effect on goalies (online only) -Reduced post-whistle time (online only) -Decreased effectiveness of the pass block (LB/L1) at taking the puck away -Increased frequency of deflections (EASHL/OTP only) -Prevent CPU defenders from being easily lured into hooking penalties in EASHL/OTP games -Improved ability to intercept weak passes -For EASHL/OTP, the range of the some of the attribute effects has been increased ###

What?
This sounds awesome. I read about NHL having them, but I thought it was a rumor about NCAA having them. I am going to have to check this out tonight. This could pull a Ron Burgundy and be a pretty big deal.
