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.

Wow, I have no idea what to say.

People, don't do what the guy above says.

Ok man Im going to be straight with you it's only out for the PS3 it hasn't gone live yet for the 360

quote from Russ

Skipping the technically details... but, be assured we are doing everything we can to work with Microsoft to get the Title Update up as soon as possible.

I cannot give a guess at when the update will be live, but the hope is sooner rather than later.

Sorry for the delay guys, we are trying to get this thing live.

My thoughts: Teams have gotten gradually worse, but it isn't quite as bad as I thought. My team (ULM) has 4 players with 90+ awareness, and 10 of the top 11 quarterbacks in the NCAA have over 80 awareness (I forget how many QBs were in the default game with over 80 awareness, I think it was 11 though, so that is a great sign.)

I'm also seeing a redshirt rate of way under 90%, 75-80 seems more reasonable, at least for the top tier players. Dunno about the bad/average ones.

WRs have a variety of elusiveness ratings, from 90's to 40's. So they don't all suck, but some do.

Likewise, not all RBs have bad acceleration. I had to dig into the will-never-start type of guys (Upperclassmen and 75 or less overall) before I started finding guys with less than 80 accel. I also found an 84 speed/99 accel guy, which I thought was pretty cool.

That's about it for now, I'll answer any other questions in the next 10 minutes, then I'm going to bed and will answer any others tomorrow.

Wheres the in-season progression they were talking about. Thats MIA still.
Yep. 4.

94 awr RS SR Fullback
93 awr RS SR Fullback
92 awr RS SR Strong Safety
90 awr RS SR Free Safety.

I feel as if that was a fluke though, especially with the fullbacks.

And for those who say it isn't broken, may I add, I have exactly ZERO players rated above 68 ovr. ZERO. That's INSANE and if you don't think it's a problem, I have no comment for you.

Some analysis on other teams:

NO other team has three players with 90 awareness (from a quick 120-team long glance)

Most teams straddle the low eighties for their best 3-4 awareness guys, some have nineties, and a few have teams full of eighties. Texas has 0 players with awareness 80 or higher.

Many lower teams have some of the worst overall teams, but most aware teams. (Me, Bowling Green, FAU, Fresno, Idaho, Kent, Mid Tenn, North Texas, Northern Illinois, New Mexico, San Diego State, Troy, UAB, Utah State, West Kentucky, and West Michigan) but only a few higher teams also have high team awareness (Florida State, Georgia, Michigan, Nebraska, Penn State)

So it seems lower overall players are, in general, FAR more aware than their higher rated counterparts.

54 quarterbacks have 80+ awareness. Only 32 quarterbacks on the default roster have 80+ awareness, so passing stats around the league SHOULD be higher than they are in season 1.

And one last note, the league landscape should not be the same every year. The top 30 teams shouldn't be the same, and the sucky teams shouldn't be the same. The only teams I saw make a small gain were Michigan and Notre Dame, who are now usually preseason ranked. Likewise, only Georgia Tech fell from the elite tier to the good tier. Every other team is EXACTLY the same. No way this should happen. Boise State, TCU, and to a lesser extent Utah should not be dominant forever. The teams on a small downturn, like Tennessee should not suck forever. The teams who have a one or two hit wonder this year but are normally not high in the rankings (Oregon anyone? TCU?) whould NOT stay high forever. And the sucky teams shouldn't be condemned to suck forever.

Once again, anything else anyone wants to know, ask.

Even though I had a nice EA rep help me get my EA account to another email, these guys have the most basic troubleshooting/support plan setup ever. They're not equipped to make changes on the fly, they're kind of like low level ISP tech support.

The whole "turn your modem off", "clear your cache", "do the hokey pokey five times while watching Sanford and Son".

I didn't see a report from ya , bud....someone else reported it, though so I caught it. I'm usually on from work, so I'm not always fast...REPORT things, guys, this thread is pretty ridiculous. The patch for 360 IS NOT out yet.

Next thing I see that's close to trolling/insulting other posters/or attacking devs, you'll be BANNED, NO MORE WARNINGS. Clear?

This right here is the biggest issue to me. I don't know about anybody else, but this takes alot of excitement out of dynasty mode to me.
