Man D since updates.

[bhs_tigers_00]

My cpu controlled DB's and players are playing god awful man D since some of these updates have came out in my recent games. In two of my OD's CB's are just totally getting lost. I know there should be some separation on outs crosses and routes etc, but not like what I am seeing. My defenders are breaking way late behind receivers, usually as late as 2-3 seconds and sometimes no less than 10 ft behind the receiver on some patterns. If they receiver runs an out, my guy covering him continues towards the endzone for 10 steps sometimes before breaking off and heading back towards the player hes covering leaving huge throwing holes against the cpu.

While I know they have toned back man coverage in some of the newest updates is anyone seeing the drastic change I have mentioned in some of their games since the updates (against cpu most notably). I can't do anything on D against the pass anymore it seems and while one of my school being a 1* might have something to do with it I've seen this happen in my dynasty with a better team and my best corner too to beat everything.

Anyone else experiencing some of this?

Yes, they ruined man defense with the last patch. It got so bad for me, I have put ncaa 11 away and have only been playing madden 11 until they come out with another patch. The game is borderline unplayable if you play strictly man defense like I do.

I feel your pain. It's been so discouraging because you can only control one guy and if you take away one part of the field absurd DB play somewhere will leave a guy open for the cpu to find. If anyone has found some strategies to counter this please share...

This actually cost me a trip to the Nation Title in our online dynasty.

The patch came out right before the Big 12 Title game, and Nebraska came in and torched me. Their cpu receiver somehow beat my All-American corner on nearly every play despite only having an 84 in speed. smh I was highly pissed because I've never been beat that bad before. I lost by 3 TD's.

They never punted once during the game until late in the 4th quarter and it was over by then. They scored every time they had the football.

I've since tweaked my sliders again to make up for this, and I had an 81 FG kicker last night who easily hit two 55 yd + FG's against me in a game I lost.

I'm 0-5 this year in my 1* UL-Lafayette Dynasty in which I had moderate success last year. Granted they're not great but even in conference games against similar opponents I'm seeing this crap. The defense is horrendous after these teaks from EA.

I strickly play man and I am doing alright. Just work on your sliders and the game plays fine.

I play in Online dynastys where all slider tweaks are a community based thing is the only problem.

Oh ok, that makes sense then. In our OD, I am in the Commish, and I tell everyone to give me their input on what works and what doesn't, and we have come up with a good slider set for everyone to use. It is a little easy for me, but challenging for my room mate. Ask your Commish if he he/she is open to tweaking the sliders a bit to fix the problem.
