NCaa update

[xLiQx]

There was an update today, 31mb for ncaa. just thought I would give you a heads up!

We will be addressing the following issues that we have seen from our telemetry and heard about from our community:

Gameplay
Zone Defense has been updated.
We improved receive leverage logic as well as predicting when a receiver will be in or out of their zone.
Improved Deep Half Zone decision making about when to split between uncovered receivers. Also, allow more zone overlapping in deep half to cover more area.
Deep half defenders were dropping too close to the sideline or dropping outside when no receiver was outside of their position.
No-Huddle QB Spy bug fixed. Defenders will no longer go into spy assignments while in man coverage.
Receivers weren’t looking for hot-read passes.
CPU QBs passing during the drop would get set passes instead of on-the-run inaccurate passes.
Change the logic of man defenders so they don't run into the backfield and past the receiver they are covering.
Route running near sideline was causing issues especially on comeback routes.
Fixed players not respecting global show blitz/press/back off coverage after handing off a receiver.
Fixed sideline streak routes so they don't get clamped in a way that the route would end after 10 or 15 yards.
Drive summaries should now reset after each scoring drive.
Dynasty
Once a promise becomes active, it was duplicating after each week advance.
Recruit Reports & Advisory options remained even after the "Allow Time Savers" setting was turned off.
Schools with a D+ Program Tradition could not get their grade increased through wins and championships.
In the off-season, post season games were not shown to have been played.
Custom Playbooks
Fixed an issue where if CPU coaches were given a custom playbook, the players were occasionally lining up close to the ball.
Fixed an issue where the user was unable to create an offensive playbook that consisted of 1 of every formation.
Fixed an issue where the user was sometimes losing functionality after the UI disappears in Custom Playbooks.
Increased the stability of the product by fixing various crashes.

Glad to hear the gameplay is tuned.
Wonder why they didn't fix the R3 issue with the blocks showing even after the ball is snapped?

Glad they are making updates and pretty timely though.


Thanks for the update so I know to update my game when I get home tonight.

its insane how they go out parading a game, that has this much fuck ups. do they not have beta testers? pretty sure the first game of beta testing they'd notice 70% of these issues no?

I said it before nick, most of the lobby guys that are at the top of the list every year are cheesers.
If I were EA Sports, I would reach out to a handful of those guys and ask them if they would like to play the game early.
Give them a beta copy that they can download or something and let them beat on it and report their findings.

Then make the necessary changes to fix the issues before releasing the game.

Then give them like $10 off or something for their time/effort.

I am sure tehy found 70% of the stuff when the team first "tested" the game, these were probably the ones they didn't fix, or didn't have time to fix. I am sure ther eis more that goes into making the game then I ever realize, in my perfect world, the game would come out ready to play EXACTLY like I wanted to..kind of like socom 2.

I understand that it is very hard to put out games that are defect free, but the way these games come out, you would think this is the first year they ever put out this game.
I do software testing for Progressive Insurance so I understand that entire world.

If they are re-coding a game from scratch, a complete overhaul, then I understand that it is basically starting over.
But I cannot imagine that the code base changes every single year.

Take something like the R3 issue, that was not an issue last year, where the hell did it come from?

we are the beta testers.

So, have you guys noticed the zone change? I only play zone when I'm up 35 and wanna be allowed to score again.

Thank god for all of these... now lets see how they are in practice
CPU QBs passing during the drop would get set passes instead of on-the-run inaccurate passes.
Change the logic of man defenders so they don't run into the backfield and past the receiver they are covering..
Wonder if this helps option any... (doubtful)

I believe 6ft is correct, played a couple games and I have not witnessed any of the supposed changes.

Figures. Only EA would take a month and a half to fix their game

The only change I witnessed was the update fucking up my PS3's ability to connect with the EA servers. I had to reboot like 3 times after it to connect.

FIFY. EA Sports has updates for FIFA and NHL the moment the game drops. Care to take a guess which EA Sports titles are not touched by Tiburon in Orlando?

NDL:F should stage a protest at their Orlando HQ.

I believe 100% of the blame for any flaws in this game lies solely with one Ben Haumiller.
