NCAA Football 11 Patch #2 Available? (Update: 360 Progression Issue Fixed)

05:57 AM - August 11, 2010 by killa2222

Just received a patch for NCAA Football 11.

Will update this post when an official fix list has been revealed, but until then, here are a few things that were possibly fixed, based on the NCAA Football 11 blog, a while back.

What are you seeing?

UPDATE: Based off feedback. Patch for NCAA Football 11, seems to have an issue with player attributes not updating, after training. (This could be a 360 only issue, still testing)

UPDATE #2: New tuner update fixes the progression issue on 360.

UPDATE #3: Post your impressions here.

	"-- 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."

CPU controlled. Any user controlled play can be money, even the triple option has a ton of great plays for users. My comments will always be related to CPU AI, sorry I should have mentioned that.

I saved the video. It was exactly the same as the pre-patch issue. If it is limited to defenders then that's still better than before the patch.

Really? I've seen the opposite. That's odd.

Human or CPU controlled?

I'm assuming this was done to lower the effectiveness of the user outside running, but the CPU is going to be hopeless outside of the hash marks without slider adjustments. Just an FYI for those using custom sliders for the CPU.

I like the sound of that before the turners I thought outside running was to easy

All CPU controlled. Other users should post User impressions.

CPU HB's still use Protect Ball WAY too often. No defender within 2 yards on either side and they lose out on breakaway runs because they are protecting the ball instead of hitting holes down the field.

The thing that makes guys like Adrian Peterson, Chris Johnson, or Noel Devine explosive is that they explode through the 2nd line within the blink of an eye. HB's on this game take 5-6 seconds just to get through the 2nd line of defense because they are scared to move at full speed.

It's an improvement, but hopefully this isn't what EA considers a final product. CPU rushing still feels neutered.

So, will this functionally kill the game for anybody who buys the game w/o buying EA online pass? Now, I bought retail so I have it... but still.. worth asking.

Every retail copy comes with an online pass.

If you buy the game from a 3rd party then EA wants to make sure you pay for the online pass. Go EA, good business model.

The more sales EA makes = the better football game we get.

It is funny you mention Adrian Peterson hitting holes full speed because he had a big time fumble problem last year. Seems to me he could have used more protect ball animations.

No kidding!

8 play drives should take longer than :20.

LOL, how many times did he fumble 10-20 yards down the field? If AP gets 20 yards downfield then you can pretty much put 6 on the board.

Most of his fumbles were around the LOS. That's true for most HB's.

It is funny though in hindsight.

Overall this is a better game of football after the patch. The game still needs a lot of polish but you can tell that effort was put into certain areas where obvious weaknesses were.

Closing this thread to avoid confusion. Please use the new stickied patch impressions thread. It has a list of the patch/tuner fixes in the first post.
