NCAA Football 09 Patch Announcement

[Herky]

Exclusive deals mean you don't have to try to outdo anyone. They suck 110% and it shows.

Thats the first patch (roster patch), we are discussing the 2nd patch.

I get that its a business decision, but id at least like to hear straight from EA, "we arent fixing issue X,Y,Z because we dont want to, this is how we want the game." That would be enough to trade the game in and not buy 2010, seriously. Ive never missed an NCAA or Madden since i can remember (at least 02, but thats bc i have that game box right here), but if they come out to say that, ill be long gone. I dont boycott things, or encourage others to, but that would speak volumes to me.

I understand they have to test the issues and see whats going on, and they dont want to tell us something and not be able to deliver, but we've heard on the roster patch, weve heard about the online dynasty, weve heard about sliders and kick returns, but not a PEEP about the defensive issues (speed, DL, blitzes, angles, yellow zones). I would just like something to say "We estimate it to be out on this day, and that could change, and it will address these issues currently, and we are looking at throwing these in there too". Is that possible? Probably not bc it does expose them to some risk (im being serious). But still, the lack of acknowledgement on the 10-12 posts i made today (long ones too) and AA made on defensive issues has me a little peeved.

Again, not an EA *****, i think my posts show that, just a consumer trying to get some answers.

I play online, so fixing the sliders alone doesn't really help me, since you can't make slider adjustments for online games.

Anyone else curious as to why it's Adam answering most of the questions? As he says, he's a "features" guy. He's not with the gameplay dept. 98% of complaints are coming strictly from gameplay. ?????? Guys, we have beaten this to death. They simply don't get it. They are wasting our time and theirs. Think about it. If they come here to try to "listen" to us and help make the game better...by either patch, next year, etc...etc.. then they are failing miserably. How many times do we have to say, as a community, LEAVE OUT EVERY SINGE GOSH DARN "FEATURE" known to man, and the get the gameplay right!!!!!!!!!!!! How many years have we been saying that?????? Adam himself has done a great job here. But he works for EA. He is EA's answer to complaints. A features guy. We have a broken driveway, and EA sent us an electrician. Does that not make perfect sense? Same gameplay issues year after year. Rocket catch, Poor AI, Robo QB, etc.. the list is long. And they send us someone who isn't even the gameplay dept to address our "issues". Guys, I'm sorry. Add all this up, and EA just doesn't get it. They just don't. There will be at least 2 patches. I take Adam for his word on this. When doesn't really matter to me. This is corporate EA we're dealing with, not Adam. I have no doubts what so ever that even after the 2nd patch we will be left as frustrated as we are now. Anyone who hopes for better is foolish given the track record, and writting on the wall.

lol...exactly my thoughts.

I agree completely.

This whole thing with NCAA 09 has left me speechless, honestly, speechless, just shaking my head.

I use to buy NCAA and Madden every year for a long time. I went to Gamestop on Monday (July 14, the night before release) and canceled my pre-order because of all the bad things I was reading on OS. I decided to rent it first instead, and my God I'm glad I did.

This was finally the year I realized before I buy anything EA, I must rent it first.

You know that's a good point made by concretefire..If most of the problems are gameplay related issues why isn't EA sending a gameplay rep on these boards as opposed to OMT who basically states he is a feature guy..I mean Ea is all about the the community scene and interaction now right (lol)..so lets hear from a "gameplay guy"....

just send the game to EA and get a brand new game back and then take back to get your money back or get ps2 version
