I watched them. It looked better, but again...I was noticing that in those 3 consecutive plays, you had 4 Sooner linemen get knocked off their feet, at least one every play.

That's just bad programming or cheating programming to manufacture more offense IMO by EA's guys. No major college football team gets guys falling like the old lady on the Life Alert commercial every. single. play.

True, but at least the pressure this seems to generate causes the QB to go out of robo QB mode back to idiot QB mode. Maybe there is a happy medium to be found through sliders, but I still say this needs to be patched. This doesn't rectify the inherent problems with the pass rush game and has zero effect on idiot players in the secondary.

Bad phil, I'm sorry but I'm gonna have to call BS on this. On the second video two lineman were pancaked/cut and there was no real pressure on qb save maybe one lineman. that video seems to me to be bad cpu qb ai programming. the first video was an almost all out blitz which in my games have been successful on occasion. the third video really is very typical of a common passing play by cpu, not really any evidence of anything. sorry bout these impressions but i'm just not feeling ya on those. anyone else.

This is interesting. I've been testing the sliders myself for the last couple hours. I too am playing on Heisman and I too am not getting any results from dropping the CPU RB Ability down to 0.

The only things that I'm absolutely certain of at the moment are:

User RB Ability and User QB Accuracy definitely affect both the User and CPU. And, the only time I've had any wide open dropped passes was when I had WR Catching down to 0 and everything else at 100. I didn't see any CPU drops though.

Fair enough but it was the opposite of the kinds of things I was experiencing prior to making the changes. I would get completely stonewalled and have no forward progress whatsoever from the front four. The QB would literally just be able to stand there like a statue and unload. Now I seem to be able to flush him out of that far more often. Not to mention in this game right now I have sacked him five times and I'm not even through the second quarter.

I'm definitely not saying it's fixed, guys are still falling around out there like it's a soccer game, but the cpu QB is not just standing there for five seconds anymore.

I'm on All American, and there were a couple of cases where I was playing the DT and within a second I was blowing pass the OL after the QB. Only problem was the QB was able to elude the sack by running from me, but it did cause a bad throw.

just out of curiosity, bad, what settings are you using. i am using aa sliders on all american with 8 min quarters. i'm am generally very conservative on defense but lately i have been blitzing a lot more. do you use preplay stuff like show blitz cheat safeties, bump and run, etc. . stuff like that all the time?


also what teams have you been using for test purposes? have you used a horrible team vs. a powerhouse getting the same results. ou's d line has made the tx backfield their stomping ground as of late. what i'm saying is that I just feel that while it is not accurate all the time, more often it works decent. our differences could be that your sense of what "should" happen and mine are different, dont know.

This was mainly a test game on AA 7 minute quarters. Had CPU RBA at 0 (assuming it is actually CPU Pass Block) and my break block at 100. Usually I mix things up, but even with an eight man blitz it would all just get stopped at the line of scrimmage and go nowhere. No preplay adjustments on the plays I posted, but I have been trying all sorts of them prior to this. I've set some pretty exotic blitzes up over the past few days trying to get pressure. So far nothing really compared to what I'm seeing now.

I'm about to try out LSU vs a cupcake and see what happens. But basically I understand what you're saying about the differing senses of what should but my main thing right now is that this feels drastically different to me than it did before these changes.

Guys, try it on varsity and tell me what u think.

[Solidice]

on AA, i put Human and CPU WR catch at 0. the CPU dropped alot of balls(QB threw 50%). when i played as Texas Tech, my WRs didn't drop many if any(i was throwing around 85%). but when i played a game as Arkansas State, my WRs could hardly catch anything(60% QB acc). so i don't know.
