NCAA 11 Dynasty (Season 2, Week 4) - PS3

Patch #3 and Live Tuning #3 comes out September 7th (Tuesday)!

The changes... Bolded the key ones in my eyes.

Title Update 3 (TU3)

The pump fake exploit was resolved. The entire defense will no longer rush the QB after a pump fake.
Resolved an issue with setting SS/ FS to QB Spy and then blitzing, virtually unblocked.
Increased the Overall rating for incoming freshman. This resulted in one and two star freshman coming in at a higher overall rating.
In Season Progression is back! Players once again have the ability to get a slight boost to their ratings during the season.
There was an issue with Hawaii's home schedule causing conflicts with particular teams. This has been resolved. In particular, teams in the Pac 10 and the WAC will now have the correct number of conference games.
Resolved an issue with the Rush Defense slider where they were only impacting defensive line special moves. They have been adjusted to also impact win/loss chances for blocking.

Live Tuning Pack 3 (LTP3)

Kick Power/Kick Accuracy progression for Kickers and Punters was adjusted to be in line with the new incoming freshmen. Kickers and punters will now progress in line with other players, but will start with a higher average overall due to the improved recruit ratings in the patch.
Increased Awareness progression for all positions.
Increased progression slightly for Elusiveness, Spin Move, and Juke Move for Wide Receivers.
Increased progression of the Tackle rating for Corner Backs to be in line with WR skill ratings (Juke, Spin, and Elusiveness).
Reduced the frequency of defenders successfully jumping the snap. Also adjusted how frequently they would jump early when the offense performed a fake snap.
Tuned Man Coverage so defenders will not jump in front of routes so early. They will still jump the route, but not as early, or frequently, as before.
Adjusted in season progression to be in line with higher rated incoming freshmen.
Tuned Incoming freshman to better match the spread on the default rosters.
Tuned team prestige progression to be in line with the changes to incoming freshmen.

In season progression? FUCK YES! The slider releated things could wreck havoc on our current dynasty season. And I knew that the guy's jumping my curl routes were doing so too much.

NCAA 11 Dynasty (Season 2, Week 4) - PS3

Wow, great patch! They may have finally made the game almost perfect.

Sorry guys, but we're on Week 6 now. Go hard!

Starting QB Nassib pulled a groin muscle, so the backup that found his way into so much garbage time the last two years has to come in to save the day.

Somehow, SU escapes with an upset of #25 WVU. Offensive line took their turn at "god we are really bad" and was constantly holding, missing/blowing blocks and false starting when I tried to steal an offsides on their jump snap attempts. Somehow I managed to hold late, got the ball back, and when trying to run the clock out to get the FG lined up I saw an opening outside, instinctively went to it and went the remaining distance for a TD with 3 seconds left.

Finally perfected my squib kick technique too, I bounced two of them off a mid-range offensive lineman's shin and watched them waste precious seconds lumbering after it & getting next to nothing on the return.

Notre Dame Cruises Past Boston College 24-13

Was testing out using an Option offense this game and did fairly well in the rain. Notre Dame thrashed me much like Miami did, to not much surprise on my part.

QB Dave Shinskie was 7/16 for 78 yards and 1 TD. He also had 5 yards rushing on 7 carries.
RB Rolandan Finch had 8 carries for 32 yards and FB Sterlin Phifer had 8 carries for 31 yards.

Defense had 3 sacks and DT Bryan Murray continues to beast with 2 TFL and 1 Sack. Freshmen CBs Gerald Fulton and Donald Morris both had picks.

On the Notre Dame side, QB Dayne Crist was 11/19 for 217 yards and 1 TD. RB Cierre Wood had 11 carries for 174 yards and 1 TD. DE Emeka Nwanko had 1 Sack.

Boston College Loses 27-24 To Wake Forest on Chip Shot Field Goal

Screw this defense, ugh. I allow them to get down to my 6 despite having just 41 seconds left and about 60 yards to go. On the flip side, the Triple Option was a bit more effective this go around.

QB Dave Shinskie was 6/14 for 179 yards and 1 TD. QB Ted Stachitas was 11/18 for 206 yards for Wake Forest.

On the ground for Wake Forest, Brandon Pendergrass had 10 carries for 120 yards and 1 TD. Boston College answered with Montel Harris who had 110 yards and 1 TD on 12 carries. QB Dave Shinskie added 35 yards on 8, FB Lars Anderson added 21 on 7 carries, and RB Rolandan Finch added 14 on 4 carries.

Got drubbed 55-24, and it wasn't even that close (52-10 before I finally started scoring again, it was 17-10 Pitt at one point). They converted 7 of 9 third downs, whereas I didn't get conversion #1 until early in the 4th quarter.

Week 8 is on now folks!

Georgia Finally Recruits Players
Its been a long time since I've been able to do this, but I'd like to welcome some new 4* players to my team: Drew Taylor (Tackle), Spencer White (Tackle), and Scott Taylor (Half Back)!

Tough week for two teams, as Georgia must take on Florida and Stanford's got #15 Oregon State. We might have everyone lose a game this week!

Duke Gets First Win 23-10 Over Boston College

This whole season can be summed up in three words: Fucking Pass Rush. The offensive line could generate zero push, didn't engage the DTs at all in blocks, and generally sucked.

QB Dave Shinskie was 15/27 for 189 yards and 2 INT. He was also sacked 2 times. RB Montel Harris had 11 carries for 5 yards and RB Pat Cummings had 2 carries for 11 yards.

LBs Nick Clancy and Alexander Disanzo both had 1 Sack for BC. CB Isaac Johnson had 1 INT and SS Dominick LeGrande had 1 INT returned for a 46 yard TD.

Georgia Wins, But Pays Heavy Price
Georgia wins 31-21

I definitely did my job this week. Playing very well, until two very bad things happen. My main HB Ealey had a fumbled and was knocked out on the play. The very next play, I got an INT with my ROLB Dowtin and he goes down on the play.

I get the update on Dowtin first on the very first play, 9 Weeks. Not looking good. But I hear Erin Andrews saying the player has a broken collarbone and he's done for the season. But wait, Dowtin's injury was his... Yup, very next play it confirms my worst fears in that Ealey is also done for the season and I'm now without my starting HB and starting ROLB.

I can at least get away with halfback as Caleb King still was producing, but on the defensive side, by moving my former starting ROLB, Longo (playing MLB), back to ROLB, my defense got fucking gashed, due to the fact that my best MLB at the moment has only a 46 awareness and I'm already borrowing Samuel from LOLB to play that position too. My defense was already a patchwork because I had real depth after the starters, but this clearly hits it home that I'm going to be in a lot more close games now thanks to this.

Guess everyone's going to be happy about me having hard times now.

 

[Cartman]

NCAA 11 Dynasty (Season 2, Week 8) - PS3

Why would anyone be happy about you having a tough time? I root for everyone to do well in this, unless they play against me directly.

 

[Kageho]

NCAA 11 Dynasty (Season 2, Week 8) - PS3

Why would they root for me having a bad time?

Because the only challenge I've had so far is losing to a user. My team's have pretty much smoked the CPU.

NCAA 11 Dynasty (Season 2, Week 8) - PS3

29-28, SU upsets Rutgers. Trailed 25-8 late in the third & stormed back.

Oh, and I finally got to use that "pull back on the right stick to high step so they can't dive tackle you from behind" locomotion tactic; there's a screenshot of my totally upright WR high-stepping away from the diving tackler behind on the way to the game-winning TD.

 

[Bored]

NCAA 11 Dynasty (Season 2, Week 8) - PS3

I almost handed my game to Oregon State as I threw three picks, one returned for a touchdown and also surrendered a fumble return for a touchdown. But I dominated the 4th quarter and won a closer than indicated 38-23 game.

I am wondering though if the tuner update did effect the number of interceptions as I threw just one in the first six games (remember I do have Andrew Luck at quarterback). Have to wait and see if that was a fluke or not. Also had a lot more penalties than usual.

 

[Kageho]

NCAA 11 Dynasty (Season 2, Week 8) - PS3

No. There is nothing in the patch or the tuner that changes interceptions, you just threw a bad one. There was a tweak to the defense, but it was in concerns to the CBs jumping the WRs and smacking the ball.

 

[Kageho]

NCAA 11 Dynasty (Season 2, Week 9) - PS3

Week 9 is now good to go. I'd like to point out how its bullshit that I've got 4 teams with 1 or two losses ranked ahead of me in the BCS Rankings. That would be Penn State (5-2), Oklahoma (5-2), TCU (6-1), and Miami (6-1).

Georgia Signs More Recruits
G - J. Williams 5*
HB - L. Quinn 4*

14 Virginia Tech Shuts Out Boston College 35-0

Yet another sound ass kicking in a stretch of them. I did not expect losses to Wake Forest or Duke so... this season has gone to hell very, very quickly.

Dave Shinskie was 7/15 for 118 yards and 2 INT. RB Montel Harris had 13 carries for 28 yards. FB Lars Anderson had 4 carries for 10 yards. DE Max Holloway had 2 Sacks, DT Connor O'Neal had 1 Sack.

Virginia Tech's QB Ju-Ju Clayton was 13/16 for 165 yards and 2 TD. RB Ryan Williams had 19 carries for 127 yards. RB Darren Evans had 4 carries for 43 yards and 2 TD.

 

[Kageho]

NCAA 11 Dynasty (Season 2, Week 9) - PS3

Georgia goes from a 24-21 lead at half time to a huge ass 50-24 win.

Auburn had 6 TOs in the first half. Wanna know how many points I got from that? 3.

I'm just glad my second half adjustments worked like a charm to lead me to yet another huge win.

TCU shits all over another conference opponent, sky is blue, water is wet.

Syracuse has way more fun than lame old TCU and somehow upsets Cincinnati in overtime, 36-33.

Week 10 folks is on! Also, I managed to sign some new players. 4* DE Daniel Downing, 4* DE Hunter Williams, and 3* TE Deon Ward all join the Georgia family.

Sadly, I'm on a bye week, but since I'm now #5 in the country.

BC Rolls Over UCF 47-30

Finally a much needed victory although defensive issues continued to rear their head in the forms of a 73 yard TD run allowed (where said WR! broke at least 4 tackles) and long passes left and right. Also returned to the more familiar Run & Shoot.

QB Dave Shinskie continues his uncharacteristic up and down season. He was 29/43 for 403 yards with 3 TD but also threw 3 INT. RB Montel Harris had 14 carries for 66 yards, largely unimpressive despite the totals.

WR Donte Elliott led everybody with 12 catches for 203 yards and had all 3 TD catches. WRs Colin Larmond, Skakim Phillips, and Clyde Lee chipped in with 52, 73, and 50 yards respectively.

Defensively the pass rush was on this game. Bryan Murray had 3 Sacks. Joining him with 1 Sack each were LB Alex DiSanzo, CB Gerald Fulton, LB Nick Clancy, and CB A.J. Currelley.

UCF's QBs combined to go 11 of 21 for 279 yards and 2 TD.

NCAA 11 Dynasty (Season 2, Week 10) - PS3

I came this close to losing to Arizona. I jumped out 14-0 and I was frankly getting Bored really quick thinking I was going to tattoo them like I did UCLA my previous game but then the roof caved in. I surrendered 28 points in the 2nd quarter. It was brutal. Everything went wrong. This was a bad match up as Arizona has a ton of 80+ wideouts and a great quarterback while cornerback is by far my weakest position and they torched me for 389 yards passing.

I thought for sure I'd lost early in the 4th quarter down 35-24 when I threw a fluky interception (or BULLSHIT as I felt when it happened) but I kept U of A from putting it away with a rare defensive stop. I scored quickly and then got a huge pick on their next possession at midfield and then proceeded to run the ball down their throats as I didn't want to leave them time to win it. I scored with just 29 seconds left to take the lead but even then they got the ball inside my 40 with two seconds left and I just about shit my pants when Nick Foles slipped from me for a game ending sack to get off a last desperation pass but it fell harmlessly incomplete.

NCAA 11 Dynasty (Season 2, Week 11) - PS3

Week 11 on now! And huge match ups this week. #3 Stanford is playing @ #16 Oregon and #4 Georgia is playing @ #13 Ole Miss, which means we might have a user bust into the NC game. Good luck to both teams, and to everyone else this week!
