When was the last time Microsoft put out a piece of software without a bug in it? That said, '09 seems to have some issues that should have been caught in testing. The roster and slider issues are just a couple. For those that are blasting Sony, I don't understand why. EA made the game that has the bugs. EA made the patch that has the issue. How is that Sony's fault? Sure, I would like to see Sony make it more of a priority, but this isn't their only game and EA isn't their only game producer. Now my questions (assuming I did not offend you to the point where you won't answer!). 1) Will either patch fix the delay of game issue in the PS3 & xBox 360 versions? 2) As I said, I still enjoy the old versions. NCAA 2000 had unlock codes for historic teams, all of which I have, except for the 1989 Miami Hurricanes. Any chance anyone there can tell me what that unlock code is? Thanks. Flo

What exactly is the delay of game issue? As far as the 2000 version of NCAA... wow, no clue who to even ask!

Adam, any news or update on patch 2?

When a team gets a delay of game penalty, the game clock continues to run. Therefore, if you get the ball and the lead, run a play to start the clock. then take a delay of game penalty over and over until the clock runs out. Of course, if you are in the 1st or 3rd quarter, you will have to run a second play to start the clock running in the 2nd or 4th quarter, but you then just keep taking penalties until the half or game ends. The PSP version seems to work correctly, stopping the game clock, but the PS3 keeps the game clock running. The reports are that the xBox 360 version has the same issue as the PS3.

Nobody left from the 2000 version, eh?

That's interesting. Gonna have to check that out monday. As far as NCAA 2000... I don't think that game was made at Tiburon. Not really sure.

I think it was submitted Tuesday to central quality control. It is on track for the last week of August.

I will take that as a "no" to my question regarding either patch fixing the issue. :-)

Any chance on a patch #3? :-0

While you may be right about Tiburon and the 2000 game, wikipedia shows Tiburon as having developed NCAA Football since NCAA Football '98. Of course, wiki could be wrong.

Thanks for the update, im crossing my fingers that it stays on schedule and that the patch can re-energize the game

As long as you guys are answering questions, which I appreciate, why did you drop "create a team", "create a playbook", "create a sign" and FCS teams? Will any of those things ever return?
