yeah man...I read the first 2 lines (First thing the NCAA team at Tiburon wants to let gamers know: The interception bug is gone. That's right--no more 9 interception games with 7 of those returned for touchdowns. Says producer Ben Haumiller)

and smiled until I realized what Pasta has posted on it

the fix may not have been in the build that they played in NYC. if i remember correctly, they where playing a build of the game from early April. or maybe they mean the CPU QB INTs are fixed.

The fix may be for the human player that they are referring to, while the cpu AI remains similar. Last year I didn't have so much of a problem compared to the CPU, there was zero chance of any team other than me to lead the nation in scoring defense in dynasty.

I think the producer was talking about cpu INTs as well.

Pastapadre and CDJ of NCAA Strategies are going to report their initial impressions and more tonight at midnight (the embargo ends then). I'm sure they will be answering questions tomorrow on their sites as well as other places. It will be nice to end the speculation and get some first hand info.

I'm feeling doubtful about that because he didn't even mention the CPU throwing INTs... and the whole quiz mini-game that they're promoting is for the USER's benefit. I think there is still a big misconception that when people complained about too many INTs, that they are talking about USER INTs, when in fact the bigger problem was the CPU throwing too many INTs and never throwing down field.

We'll see. I hope it is fixed. I thought the guys got to play the game with a producer near by? They said there were 1-2 pick six's a game. If they were indeed playing an older build and the newer build had remedied the issue, I would assume they would have been told that by this producer right? I guess I will wait for the write up to resurface tomorrow.
