OMT will be getting a ''Thank you'' via PM.

Glad to hear that you are finding enjoyment with the game Anti Honor.

I understand OMT is on vacation, and here's to him enjoying his time off, but from what I gathered, Ian (I believe that's the other guy's name), and a few others were posting on different boards also. Would it kill one of them to pop in and give a timetable for the PS3 release of the patch, or share any news on that that they know?


I mean, I'm not terribly upset, I'm still working on my game as far as relearning controls and getting better myself (first NCAA since 07, and only second NCAA ever), but it seems to me they're turning off some PS3 users...even though I realize it's more of a Sony thing than an EA thing.



Regardless, no way I'm starting my dynasty until patch #2.

You're right. I don't mind so much the patch being delayed on the PS3 but let us know what is going on.

The pancakes are definitely decreased (pass rush is still not GREAT..but its "ok" now) and defensive pass coverage is much tighter. Kick and Punt Return coverage is light years better. CPU AI and Playcalling leaves much to be desired, but I'm having a blast now.

Thats good to know. I'll just be glad when I can download it on my PS3!

I second that. Hopefully tomorrow.

Anyone else that hasn't bought this yet having trouble finding the game? I went to 2 Gamestop stores today looking for a 360 version (doing the 2 trade-in and get a new game for $19.99 deal) and neither had a single copy; and apparently no other stores locally have it in stock.

Where'd you hear about that? It's not on their site.

WOW!!!! I just played a game last night (Post Patch 360) and saw something I've never seen before. I was using South Carolina playing USF and Grothe's first 5 passes were incomplete. I have never seen the cpu throw 5 incompletions in a row. His first attempt was a 45 yarder and the next 4 were somewhere in the 10-25 yard range. Of course he did complete his next 3 or 4 but it was still nice to see the incompletions to start the game. The game played pretty good. I won 27-24.

My only real complaint was that the cpu rushing game was horrible again. Grothe tried running the zone read play about 10 times and failed miserably each time. USF rushed for 60 yards total on 27 carries. Grothe had 11 carries for 20 yards. If I could find a way for the cpu to have some rushing success against me to balance things out, I would be pretty satisfied with the game, all things considered. Grothe finished 22 of 35 passing for 280 yards.
