NCAA Football 11 Patch #2 Update (EA Sports Blog)

05:01 PM - July 29, 2010 by dalecooper

EA Sports has just posted another NCAA Football 11 blog, thanking everyone, as well as giving us a few patch #2 updates.

Quote:


	"More details on the client update to come, but here are three of the big ones we've solved: -- RANDOM PLAY ACTION CRAZINESS - Sure it looks funny, but annoying as heck when it costs you a drive or a game. We're sorry we missed this one as well and apologize for the issue. -- SEASON SHOWDOWN STATS REPORTING - The season showdown warning is harmless right now and this issue and related lobby problems ultimately get fixed with the update. -- UNIFORMS THAT NEVER NEED WASHING - This is one of the more painful ones for us given all the work on visuals this year. The game actually does degrade uniforms; unfortunately we broke something in a final build that made the impact way too subtle. Consider this one solved with the update. And we want you to know that we've really been enjoying the great "Art of NCAA Football" threads. It's clear we have some incredible photographic talent in our community! So I expect things will go next-level when the update rolls out."

Just stop people. Stop. The problem was figured out quite a while ago, well before this patch update came out. None of you are going to suddenly become enlightened or have some brainy idea that hasn't been discussed since release.

There is more than one problem with recruiting and ratings and progression is among the least of those concerns. You don't have some magic pill to make it all better because there are multiple fixes that need to be applied to different areas of the game.

Let's just sit and wait and see how EA decides to handle this as I'm sure some of these areas will still be broken or flawed after the patch depending on how they choose to solve the issues.

Allow me to repeat one last time... PROGRESSION IS NOT THE CORE OF THIS PROBLEM. Let's stop using that buzzword to describe the many flaws in dynasty mode.

They took it out, and will add it in next year as a "new feature".

Sorry, but the problem is all three of those things. The ratings for WR/K/P's especially are wonked. All players have horrible AWR. You can't find a HB that can catch the ball. One QB in a class has an "A" level arm...maybe.

In addition, they don't progress.

Im dying here waiting for this tuner set (hoping it fixes dynasty recruits).

# 225 Leon Sandcastle @ 08/03/10 12:00 AM

Hope they come out soon... I am dying to see what they did for last year the patch was awesome!

# 226 Midwest_Hitman @ 08/03/10 12:25 AM

I just got an update for this game, did anyone else get a message? I'd be really pumped if it was the tuner set!

# 227 canes21 @ 08/03/10 12:27 AM

I don't think Tuner sets work like that and I didn't get the message when I just swtched over to NCAA 11.

# 228 Stack @ 08/03/10 12:31 AM

I cant even connect to the EA servers now

It used to say checking for Tuner updates right after connecting,

The best overall QB in the class in my dynasty has A+ arm strength so I don't know about that. But all the WR's have no juke/spin/elusiveness and all the kickers and punters suck.

Just booted up the game when I saw Midwest_Hitman's last post.

1. Was able to hook up with the EA servers
2. Got the "Checking Online Gameplay Tuning" message.
3. Booted up a new dynasty just to generate new recruits. Bad news. Still only one QB with A+ arm strength, no improved juke/elusiveness ratings for receivers, and everyone is still dumb.

Sorry if this "updated" info was common knowledge to some. It looked like there was some confusion with some people so I was trying to clarify.

:crossing fingers for dynasty-love tuners this week:

# 231 penji24 @ 08/03/10 06:09 AM

here is to hoping they patch the cpu only playing their base d all game.

Did you actually download a new tuning set?

Only thing to keep in mind is that EA has complete control over the Tuning sets. My guess is that they're going to be provided thru the EA site like rosters. There will be no Sony/MS approval process. They could very well pop up at anytime during the day any day this week.

# 234 Kase @ 08/03/10 09:40 AM

Haha I feel like this is a never-ending cycle. Someone posts a rumor on a tuner update, then someone posts a denial of the update. Ugh I just want to start my online dynasty with this tuner update!

# 235 ATLDirty @ 08/03/10 09:52 AM

I'm sure this has asked, but I don't want to go searching. If I import a teambuilder team and just mess with the equipment and stuff, will the tuning still work for my year 1 recruiting? Thanks.

I don't see why not. Sounds like this tuner is set to fix recruiting logic and progression... So your Teambuilder team should be ready to go with it as well.

But, who knows, we basically know nothing about what this is actually going to do.

Pretty much. Hopefully EA understands that this isn't just a quick fix and takes a look at what results from changing one of the issues.

# 238 Balrog @ 08/03/10 02:03 PM

I dont see a point into playing my dynasty until these tuners come out

# 239 FLEX6276 @ 08/03/10 04:17 PM

Yo I need everybody to check in your dynasty and see if the cpu is recording pancake stats. My dynasty is not recording my stats. I hope EA fixes this issue. It seems the issue happens every year

# 240 BaylorBearBryant @ 08/03/10 04:41 PM

I have a feeling this tuner update comes out Saturday 11:59 PST.
