they have improved but are not at all realistic. People get tackled all the time behind the 20 and I would dare to see the avg on a return is the 20 yard line in a REAL game. I think the ball travels to fast on the kickoffs and the defenders can't catch up.

You are simply wrong. The average starting point after a kickoff last year was the 28.6 yard line. People do not get tackled all the time behind the 20. Watch some games this weekend and see how deep each kick is and where the return ends up.

I'm not sure why people think the average drive starts at the 20. Is that because of where you have to start after a touchback? Most guys will still return a kick a few yards deep in the end zone since they think they can get past the 20.

I watch games all the time and people get tackled behind the 20. It happens. Take up for EA all you want.

Am I the only one who's WRs no longer catch passes on their own? Please keep in mind that I'm playing on a PS3 and not online so perhaps the improovments are on 360 only OR there's something a muck and it's not my comments as I'm reporting MY findings...

I play on PS3 and have not seen any of the things you mention here after the patch. I don't see an abundance of fumbles, the player animations are the same as before, I have experienced no freezes, and receivers catch the ball the same way they did before the patch.

and I've tackled people inside the 20 on kickoffs in the game. Yes, its rare that it happens but it does, just like the games I watch.

What sliders are you using?

Hmm... Ironic that the guy that posted right after me reported the animation glitch... It wasn't there before the update... I'm sure that the others are out there as well that are noticing things as well... I'm not lying as that doesn't help things at all... PM me on how to transfer video and I'll post em if you'd like... Hell go on youtube and see what you find under NCAA '09 glitch, there are tons!

As for fumbles, I'm using a decent back with a carry of about 80 +/- I don't know if this was just a bad game or what. As for the catching, mark my words on several occasions the ball has struck a wide open receiver in the head, and I can remember on two of these occasions it was on third down. One was an impact TE and the other was an impact WR...
Further more, the thread that's on this very forum mentions freezing.

Are you fumbling when you dive? Cause the new patch added that.
