NCAA Football 11 Patch #3 and Live Tuning Pack 3 Arrives September 7th

05:52 PM - September 3, 2010 by Steve_OS

Title Update 3 (TU3)

The pump fake exploit was resolved. The entire defense will no longer rush the QB after a pump fake.
Resolved an issue with setting SS/ FS to QB Spy and then blitzing, virtually unblocked.
Increased the Overall rating for incoming freshman. This resulted in one and two star freshman coming in at a higher overall rating.
In Season Progression is back! Players once again have the ability to get a slight boost to their ratings during the season.
There was an issue with Hawaii's home schedule causing conflicts with particular teams. This has been resolved. In particular, teams in the Pac 10 and the WAC will now have the correct number of conference games.
Resolved an issue with the Rush Defense slider where they were only impacting defensive line special moves. They have been adjusted to also impact win/loss chances for blocking.

Live Tuning Pack 3 (LTP3)

Kick Power/Kick Accuracy progression for Kickers and Punters was adjusted to be in line with the new incoming freshmen. Kickers and punters will now progress in line with other players, but will start with a higher average overall due to the improved recruit ratings in the patch.
Increased Awareness progression for all positions.
Increased progression slightly for Elusiveness, Spin Move, and Juke Move for Wide Receivers.
Increased progression of the Tackle rating for Corner Backs to be in line with WR skill ratings (Juke, Spin, and Elusiveness).
Reduced the frequency of defenders successfully jumping the snap. Also adjusted how frequently they would jump early when the offense performed a fake snap.
Tuned Man Coverage so defenders will not jump in front of routes so early. They will still jump the route, but not as early, or frequently, as before.
Adjusted in season progression to be in line with higher rated incoming freshmen.
Tuned Incoming freshman to better match the spread on the default rosters.
Tuned team prestige progression to be in line with the changes to incoming freshmen.

When I say they got it right I meant it from the standpoint that guys come in as a running back and switch to cb wr lb s or even as a de.

Case in point, tenarius wright and tremaine thomas were both viewed as linebackers coming in but one is a safety and the other a de. I like that part of recruiting this year.

do you guys think i should restart my texas dynasty if im in week 10 of my second year??? or should i just keep dynasty going?? (the tuning pack will still work if i dont restart right?)

the thing im most worried about is that it will have been 2 recruting classes already and idk how bad the kickers will be in my next season

what do you guys think?? are you restarting?

No chance of re-starting. I have put too much time and effort into my current dynasty to start over. I will just deal with it.

Quite honestly, I don't see how guys can wait months before starting their dynasties with this great game.

Thank you EA! Keep up the awesome customer support. Wow, I can't believe I just said that. Perhaps they're starting to turn the corner over there.

They said they are going to tone down man to man coverage so I'm hoping that means zone defense will be better even if they do nothing to this area. At least I'm hoping.

Patches can only be downloaded directly through your console via the game disc. There is no way to get a file to copy on to your system. You will have to connect your PS3 to the internet somewhere.

After reading through this entire thread, it seems a lot of people feel that the changes they have made might correct the depth chart issues. I hope you guys are right. That's my biggest issue as of now.

One other thing I hoped they would have fixed was the sim stats. I mainly just do completely sim dynasties, so I hate to see my stud running back end the season with 3.7 ypc or whatever. Not a game breaker by any means, but still, some of the stats are pretty screwy.

As Pitt I do a lot of sweeps and outside runs with Lewis, due to his speed. Don't to much play action, strangely the normal slants work pretty well against most coverages I see.

I don't necessarily mind playing the game again, I just hate recruiting over and over. Got kind of attached to my QB I picked up this time, but eh, too many fixes not to start over. Last time I'll probably care enough though

It'd be sick if this patch secretly contained all the pro combat uniforms and the regular unis they left out the first time around.

# 170 Azamien @ 09/06/10 05:57 PM

Is the PA problem something that occurs at higher difficulty levels? I play on AA and my play action doesn't get blown up at a higher rate than any other play. I also can use runs out of the shotgun fairly effectively. The only plays that seem completely useless are the read options because of how slowly they develop.

# 171 crzytimes @ 09/06/10 06:29 PM

I wish we could get a conference patch for the 2011 season in our dynasty! i don't want to have to schedule in Nebraska as an ooc game!

haha

# 172 str8ty @ 09/06/10 06:58 PM

anybody now what time this patch will drop

# 173 Rebel10 @ 09/06/10 07:08 PM

I;m not going to restart my dynasty... Going to keep going. Dynasty plays pretty well right now, minus the depth charts and I don't mind the lack of in-season progression. I'll be glad when it's back but I've done too much work in my dynasty to reset it.

Yeah, I'm a little worried that by cutting down on man-to-man, they're hoping to "solve" the zone problem by making man to man just as bad as zone.

We'll find out tomorrow I guess..

# 175 Clinton56 @ 09/06/10 07:22 PM

can they fix the truck stick?i have yet to see anyone get run over and im in season 11 of my dynasty.its like the computer has the brk tackle and truck stat as the same thing.

At least that would mean that you could crank the pass coverage above 50 without it killing the game. Things might actually be better, theoretically - wouldn't know for sure though because I've never played this year's game with it higher than 50, and most of the time it's been in the 35-45 range.

Sorry, I'm late to the party - has it been confirmed whether in-season progression requires a dynasty restart (offline or online)?

# 178 RoyalBoyle78 @ 09/06/10 09:37 PM

can't wait until tomorrow, so I can work on a new slider set and finally start my dynasty.

it'll work going forward after the patch installs... so no you don't need to restart, but it won't go back and correct the lack of progression prior to the patch.

what time do they drop
