broken could be one way to describe. I think of it as unbalanced. If EA made the threshold at 50 instead of 35 we wouldnt think of it as broke, it would just be balanced.
keep in mind that this is only a man to man issue. Using a 10 yard in pattern as an example. What happens is the WR goes 10 yards and makes his break in. The problem is that the DB will make his break before or at the same time as the WR. With higher coverage slider the DB break before (most of the time) the WR, but sometimes the play works as is should and the DB gets fooled so to speak and the WR is open.
Lower the slider down to 35 and the DB does not break on the pattern and you can clearly see the WR makes his break in with the DB being 2 or more steps behind....on hooks i have seen them 3-5 yards off leaving me plenty of time to complete the pass. Of course alot of that depends on the WR and the DB ratings, but u see what i am saying.
here is where going to 35 causes problems for people. Zone coverage gets reduced too and can cause easy completions into the coverage. U just have to lower the Accuracy to a level that is fair so that every pass isnt a gimmie.
EA needs to tune down the man 2 man coverage so that when the slider is at 50 u can get solid zone and solid man coverage without sacrificing.
and keep in mind that this same issue will be in madden. u just have to hope EA tunes it so it feels right.Comment

It's broken in that you learn comeback routes, in/out routes, and sometimes slant routes against man coverage are basically useless. Especially to outside receivers, it doesn't seem to affect the slot receiver/tight end. These routes work really well against zone.
Here's an example, it's not the best one because I never should've thrown this ball, but you can see the CB turn and jump my WR route before my WR even turns.

Well said. I've been getting pretty good results. When factoring in getign a better pass rush, more realistic coverage, and lower QB accuracy sliders for both CPU and User I've been getting really good games.
In the end while the pass coverage may be a bit of an issue while in zone the bigger issue is getting a really good/fair pass rush. If that happens QB start hurrying their throws and become more off target which balances out the somewhat softer zones.Comment

Mine hasn't been hours and horus of research but I know I tried going higher than 35 once and didn't really care for the results.35 is pretty tight coverage and you start getting up towards 40 I thought I rememebered the CPU not so much running the route before you or ahead of you but right with you.
Yeah I think KP must be in an onlien dynasty where they have the slider set higher than 35. Which sucks. Playing on your own though it can be fixed/tuned.Comment

Yeah its an online dynasty I'm running using some All American slider set I found on OS. I don't want to mess with the sliders too much because it's hard finding a set that works for 8-12 people. It's def getting lowered when I advance to the next week though.Comment

I also hate when your receiver is running a straight fly route and the defender is directly in front of him/impeding him, the receiver is slowed down,doesnt change direction and there is no pass interference haha
yet ,still, this game is fun,great on alot of levelsComment

so i started year 2 at #1. Beat #12 TCU 27-7 on the road, then beat #19 miami 35-16 on the road.
Alabama started at #2 and beat U Louisiana Monroe 33-7 at home, then beat #8 Penn St 35-10 on the road. And alabama jumps me in the polls and is now #1
What a bunch of bullshit. I beat 2 top 25 teams on the road by a convincing margin and i get jumped. Fuck you!
i wouldnt care but there is an achievement for going start to finish at #1. Not to say i wouldnt lose a game, but that is BS imoComment

I officially give up, this game sucks. I guess i'm in the minority, but I just can't get into this game. I'll finish up my onlline dynasty commitments, and it'll be back to MLB The Show for me.
-Atmosphere is awful, crowds are dead, presentation is severly lacking. All of these things were better 5 years ago on the last gen by a wide margain, how is that even possible?
-Game does not control smoothly, players feel like they are gliding on ice.
-After all these years, CPU AI is still mind reading plays. For proof, pick an option run in a completely ridiculus situation like 3rd and 30, and watch the CPU mind readers run a blitz at you from the side you are running to. Disgusting.
-I don't understand how the game controlled better and played a better brand of football a half decade ago on previous gen. I popped in NCAA '06 for shits & giggles tonight, and it's a far superior game to this years piece of shit, and '06 wasnt even the best of the PS2 era.
This once great series drifted off on the wrong path around '07 or '08, and it's never getting back to what it was. It took longer than Madden to get there, but now they both officially suck. It;s incredibly disappointing that this is what we get on next gen. It;s been several years, the football games shouldnt be this bad. Don't even get me started on the Madden Demo, this crappy NCAA blows that terd out of the water.Comment

Disagree completely. I have all my sounds sliders at default and most times I can't hear the announcers over the crowd.
Presentation is "meh". They need (much) more stat overlays and better injury notification for sure. But I don't miss showing the guys in the booth and all that shit. To each their own on some things though.
Haven't noticced that being a problem.
I've noticed that problem big time on Heisman. Not so much on other modes though. A lot of this can depend on how high you have certain sliders set like pass coverage and rush defense. If those sliders are set too high then the defense doesn't read and react to the play, they just mirror the play/know it. It sucks bu tnot sure what your sliders are set at so this could be an issue.Comment

Apparently the tuner set is out, or will be out today. I'm waiting for EA to release info on what it does so I can test it.Comment
