yea, the quick subs were in '08, by hitting "X"(360) it would cycle through them. but this year by having it on the right thumbstick makes it a lot easier to use. you don't have to cycle all the way through them if you passed what you wanted.

Unless I missed a rule change, the play clock in NCAA is 25 seconds. Must be an error in programming to have it show up as 40 after the play is over, but since you said the actual game time isn't affected when it goes back to 25 sec., then it's not a big deal.

Thanks for all the info. I didn't buy last year's NCAA, but am getting excited about this version.

they are using a 40/25 second play clock this year. similar to the NFL.

Seconded!

And even if they can't...I'd imagine this would be a very simple fix in a patch. Either way, we need to keep this problem front and center and hope that the developers take care of it.

Steve, can you pass the word along to the developer that this could be a major "annoyance"?

Read what i wrote genius, i said if they fix the turnovers and WR's being passive that would be enough to make it good........ thats what i want to see fixed
