| NCAA 11 patch details |
Posted by AndyP on 07/13 at 18:22 in Football |
|
A patch for NCAA 11 is scheduled to be available today, according to EA. The following is a list of what has been fixed or changed :
* Fixed an exploit where the QB could walk through the defense when the ball is snapped, with a guaranteed a gain of over 50 yards.
* Tuned QB fumbling on scrambles, resolving an issue where the QB would fumble every time if hit past the line of scrimmage.
* Improved deep zone coverage assignments, making it significantly more difficult to be beaten by the deep ball. In particular, deep zones have been improved against Streak routes.
* Tuned QB throwing out of a sack. Previously, it was too easy for a QB to throw the ball while being tackled; this has been toned down to be more accurate.
* Resolved an error with pursuit angles, which resulted in defenders over pursuing the ball carrier every play. The angle was fixed to be slightly more aggressive, creating a more accurate pursuit.
* Tuned the read and react assignment for linebackers, especially outside linebackers, before the handoff. This will make it more difficult to run the ball outside the Tackles.
* Fixed an issue with the CPU ball carrier being stuck in a forward lean animation. Also lowered the frequency of CPU ball carriers leaning.
* Resolved an issue where AI players in man coverage assignment would swerve when covering particular vertical routes, causing them to be beat repeatedly.
* Ball carriers will no longer go into a tightrope assignment when running along the sideline. This was causing the player's speed to decrease to 70%.
* Resolved an issue that was causing tackles to not matchup in online games, potentially causing a crash in online games.
* Footsliding will no longer occur when the ball carrier has the ball in their left hand.
* Tuned CPU screen passes so they will get rid of the ball faster, resulting in less sacks.
* Resolved a crash that occurred if connection is lost before entering a game mode.

| Game Informer rate NCAA 11 |
Posted by AndyP on 07/07 at 15:36 in Football |

In their NCAA Football 11 review, Game Informer have given NCAA Football 11 a credible 9/10.
NCAA has its flaws, but with improved on-the-field action, recruiting, and presentation (including the option to generate custom stories on your Dynasty), for the first time in years I feel like I’m getting the college experience. I know what it feels like to be a man among boys when dodging tackles, shrugging off players, and breaking for the end zone. Saturday is no longer just a diversion before the pros take the field on Sunday. It’s a time to build dynasties, crush the competition, and bask in the glow of millions. |

| Lighting improvements for Madden 11 |
Posted by AndyP on 06/30 at 18:34 in Football |

In this blog update, the EA Sports development team have posted details of the lighting improvements coming for Madden NFL 11.
One of the ways we pushed for increased broadcast integrity was in the lighting of our stadiums. Previously our night and dome stadiums were lit for maximum visibility of the crowd and thus were not consistent with typical broadcast camera exposures. In Madden 11 we attempted to better emulate how stadiums appear when the exposure is set for the action on the field. Using a variety of reference material, we attempted to closely approximate the patterns of light and shadow unique to the individual stadiums. |

| Madden 11 shows its "swagger" |

Never one to miss a marketing opportunity, EA recently revealed that a brand new rating has been added for each player in Madden NFL 11 - the "Old Spice Swagger" rating. As described by GameInformer and revealed in this video..
In a marketing/advertising partnership with men's deodorant Old Spice, Madden NFL 11 features a new Old Spice Swagger rating. While not as meaningful as the clutch of other attributes that define your player, it's no less realistic of a quality. The swagger rating determines who is more likely to break out into celebration after a big play. This prevents normally stoic offensive linemen, for example, from jumping around after a TD like they were Martin Gramatica. On the other hand, it also makes sure guys like Chad Ochocinco have an opportunity to show their latest moves. |
 It's all about "Swagger" |
