NCAA Football 09 Patch Announcement

[Strummer101er]

OMT,

The AI sliders are clearly broken. Adjusting human AI sliders (such as QB Accuracy) indisputably affects the CPU. I've tested this out extensively in practice and it's a freakishly weird and game-killing bug.

Will the sliders be patched?

The sad part is, the human sliders are really responsive this year. It's just a shame that they affect the CPU's AI, too.

Some of you that complain about the Wide-Open Gameplay and Defensive AI, just don't know how to play the game.

I have a dynasty with two teams, Western Kentucky, and Oklahoma. The worst team on the game and the #2 team on the game.

Both teams play completely differently. A lot of people complained about the teams playing very similar because of the Wide-Open Gameplay, which is totally false. My Hilltoppers are 2-3 as for OU they are 4-0.

I can hardly throw the ball with my Hilltoppers because of how bad they are, I think I have around 5TDS and 11INTS with them, and with OU I have 20TDS and 1INT.

Now, I haven't really been challenged playing as OU yet, I believe my first challenge is in two more weeks.

Also, I've played plenty of other teams, and I've never had CPU QB's that just dominated me through the air. I've had some games where I had a bunch of INTS and Deflections, and I've had some where they missed just because of bad passes.

But I've never had a QB only have incompletions due to INTs, nor even come close to it.

Perhaps you just need to pick a better defense, or learn some control ;]

you can tell the difference when playing against better teams, i used pitt against USC and there is a huge speed diff on D and O

Yeah good point. I just wish the higher-ups at EA shared Adam's enthusiasm.

Don't worry Im a "troll" too for saying "EA should pay us to buy this game"...At least give us a discount for madden or something to make up for all these bugs and glitches that make the game an unfinished product. We are getting charged more for these next gen games and other than graphics,they are far worse than the last gen ones.

The issue (as I recall) was with FA's disappearing, so if you had already lost your FA's then the patch was useless to your franchise, I'd imagine, as it fixed the issue causing them to disappear (and did not, obviously, bring back the ones that did). I never had the problem at all, as the patch came out before I got far enough for it to be an issue, but it sucks that roster/franchise issues are so prevalent in next gen sports games.

Not to mention the fact that every draft year the best 15 players were DE... but that's Madden not NCAA. However the flaws in AI are eerily similar.
