NCAA Football 11 News Post


The NCAA Football 11 patch #3 is available now for the PS3. Will update this post when it is available for the 360.

*UPDATE: The Live Tuning Pack 3 has released for PS3, will update when it is available for the 360.

Here are the details, for those of you that don't know what is included.

Quote:
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.

On average somewhere between 2-4 players per team are gaining +1 in overall (OVR) over a season. But you should see small gains in other attributes.

If you're not seeing that then there may be an issue, if that isn't enough well then we can have another "discussion" about it .

Good lord. That was all of my problems solved.

Cant wait for the 360 version. That pumfake glitch has cost me 50 of my 61 losses. No joke.

Yeah i've done that in my previous dynasty. I'm just playing play now games so it can't be tuned at the moment.

So I think that we should wait it out before jumping to what works and what doesn't.
OMG!!!!!! That is why I am not getting tuner updates!!! I bought my game used. This is crazy. I was wondering why I wasn't getting a prompt to update my tuners. How do I fix this?

Is it like past years and you see a (+1) next to the attribute?

Alright, thanks. I see now that when you meant "minor improvements" in the patch notes you really meant minor. I think the people who were saying it's not working were just simming a few games in and not noticing anything drastic. You're saying 1OVR point or so in an entire season, gotcha. Thanks again.

its because its not field turf......for some reason EA screwed up and gave Cowboys stadium grass...I bet the dev/artist who did that as thinnking of Reliant Stadium when he did that

Guys? do you know if I really need to download the tuner pack if I download the update to have a fully functioning offline game? Shouldn't the update include everything the tuner pack has? I only ask this because when I first went online with the game I did it on my kid's xbox. Now I can't get access to the tuner set on my xbox. I can get the updates when I go online because that's automatic but u need the EA account to access tuner pack(I think). If the tuner set fixes elements from an under the hood standpoint, shouldn't that be accessed similar to the update-free because it fixes the game offline as it was intended to be?

This is pretty ridiculous that it's not out for the 360 yet considering it's almost midday on the west coast.

Is this after every 4 games (periodically) or every game?

Separate things. Patch is a patch, tuner allows them to release it whenever they want.

Dang I thought when I woke up this afternoon (work 3rd shift) 360 patch and tuner would be out. Off to soccer practice, hope they are out when I get back!

Ok seriously I need a serious answer. I downloaded the patch and I someone said that there are prompts for the patch and the tuner set, but I only remember seeing the patch. If it's true that ppl who bought the game used will have this problem then how do we fix this? Now I'm almost certain that I don't have any tuners at all.

Yeah, I'm a patient dude, but WTH? It should be out already. Something tells me Microsoft rejects it and we wait another week.

Unfortunately you will need to purchase the game new
Or, I think you can just purchase the EA Pass for 10 bucks or so.
