v2.2.90 First Impressions

Post by BigSmooth »

I love the new nighttime stadium lighting. I've only managed to get one game in, but I like what I see so far.

You might see a LOT of night games during league play. Dont think it's a bug. I noticed during the first couple weeks of my WWFL that it seemed every game was at night. But that evens out as the season goes on. At first I thought bug, but it isnt. You will start seeing more and more day games. Not sure how the game actually handles this, but it does a good job I think. And my league was only 6 teams. Maybe its dispersed better with more teams.

Think that the game is way better. The running is very smooth and the defense reacts to the ball in a timely manner. I don't get the 500 yd plus passing game now. The defense now calls timeouts. Sack are lower now.

I now have more QBs that can't hit the turf they're standing on, at least at the high school and below levels [;)]. But prior to that, all levels were notorious for having a checkdown 5 yard out turn into a 67 yd TD scamper, something I'm seeing less of now.

I think this is the first time I've noticed volumetric shadows, if this wasn't in there previoiusly, it was now the default option for me after installing this patch.

I don't think I've noticed this before, but now during the intro, when the players leave the inflatable helmet, there's one player who stands and slides, and all the players seem to originate from him. Looks like this is a bug we're stuck with now...

I havent seen that sliding player thingy at the helmet. It has been noted that occasionally, the game will go wonky and players will start sliding around, no actual animation, just players sliding instead of running. I have noticed this when I have been doing a lot of stadium work, using Gamespace and PaintShopPro. It is likely just a memory thing. I think MaxFB like a lot of memory.

I get this too. But only one player. He slides out then stops and then runs onto the field. No players are originating from him though.

This was a know issue.
 
It was a follow on bug.  Obviously, it was not addressed in the latest patch.

I see this too, every game but players are not originating from him
infact some seem to run around or push him forward

but no complaints, this is such a minor thing, we can live with it
the problems sorted more than outway that little glitch........and then some

In mine a player moves out a little ways from the helmet and then other players shoot out of him.  Kinda funny and not THAT big of a deal.  I have other issues with the new release though.  Game play was less stable and my frame rates went way down making the animations look choppy.  I'll have to play more to see if it was just a one time thing, but at first glance, this patch seems to be a bit of a miss for my particular system.

I updated and then tried to reset my NFL league and left the box unchecked and all my rosters were reduced to twenty guys each. I thought that wasn't suppossed to happen according to the PDF latest read me.
Really sucks.
