Well it's great news that the second patch seems to be completed and off for certification. Maybe that process won't take as long as it did for the first patch.

Hopefully...HOPEFULLY, with the CPU sliders working it will help a bit with the pass rush because I saw nothing in the list of fixes about that.

Wanted to port my questions over here in case Adam checks this first.

Couple questions.
1) On Stadium Sounds, to reiterate what AA asked, if i play as FSU, obviously i can hear my sounds at Doak, but if i set up sounds for UF, will i be able to hear them when i play at the Swamp?

2) How were hook zones tweaked? Players just dotn drop as deep?

3) How were WR screens fixed?

4) So no more ghost juking? (players running out of bounds for no reason)

5) Do kickoffs include punts (punt coverage fixed?)

6) The slider issue....so it is fixed so that HUm sliders control HUM and CPU controls CPU, right? Also, what about the effectiveness, can you have someone try what fistofrage suggested. Turn Pass Block to 0 and see how it works vs being at 100? Id like to see the degree of difference.

If that (sliders) are fixed and work right, that will fix the only thing not addressed here, the pass rush.....

Thanks again Adam

That just made my work days a lot more unproductive.

We'll have to see about rest of the tweaks to gameplay.

That is a good look, to bad no mention of the stat glitch of if you score after lets say 5 plays you went 30 yard drive, it will say 5 plays 69 yard drive

Thank you for sharing this information. Good news. Hopefully both patches will be out by the start of the college football season.

Don't forget, there were some other nuggets about the first patch released earlier. It wasn't just for the rosters but they said the first patch was supposed to add halftime highlights as well a few other small things.

Yes. Agreed.

This is very good news. I also believe that fixing the coverage will help pass rush out. I think that they will be very careful on tweaking the pass rush, due to the risk of nanos coming back. But this is a start.
