Yeah, that atmosphere is great IMO. The presentation is lacking, but that's expected with an EA NCAA game unfortunately. However, the crowd is nice and it just has a nice feel ... even without refs and chain gangs (Not a big deal, but why can't they include these?)

I've actually switched the mudtiger's Heisman sliders now. I was helpless against the pass with Stewaat's, but I'm finding more success and realism now. It seems to tone down the robo-QB a bit.

Some of the hard Heisman slider sets like Stewaat's and fistofrage's have human defensive awareness very low. I don't know how they defend the pass that way but I keep mine at 70 which they would consider insane. Boosting human defensive awareness and dropping the cpu QB accuracy to 35 or 40 really help cut down on robo QB (along with cpu WR catch at 0). I'm still having a lot of fun and since I'm not an elite gamer I have no problem being challenged.

Yeah, I basically suck on defense to the point at which sometimes I just let the computer play it. I make play calls and I usually control the defensive end, but that's about it. I'll chase a guy down after a pass to make the tackle, but I never control the defender while the ball is in the air as that usually ends up in me misplacing the defender and the receiver catching the ball, turning up field, and dashing off to a huge touchdown, something I'm not very fond of.

This may be a silly question, but I just purchased a copy of NCAA Football 09 (360):

How the do I get the most recent patch?

As long as you're hooked up to the internet, you'll be prompted to download all patches as soon as you boot the game.

You just got to practice to get good at defense and use your audibles. I use to have a lot of trouble playing but through reading posts on how to play better d and practice I have gotten way better...heck I even just got my first shutout today ever and held the computer under 200 yds total offense, this is on heisman with def awar at 0
