Uh, hello. Anybody home? The messed up sliders was the main problem with the game. A working set won't address everything, but it should solve most of the issues. You expect the game to magically adjust to how you want it to play? You're supposed to tweak the sliders to get the style of play you desire.

That is the thing at least for me, the thing that drives me insane more than the pass rush or anything else is the dumb CPU playcalling. Please EA do something with this for next year, it needs to be a priority.


^^Also before you tell him to adjust sliders you might want to realize there are no sliders to improve kick or punt coverage. Not that they are as needed as before.

Also if that was the case maybe they should have thought of actually improving the QB AI instead of ruining the pass rush which for the record has never been this bad in any NCAA game before. ^^^Did I not say improved, but improved and great are two different things. The gunners are better but the pursuit angles are still terrible. Calling it great would definatly be an exageration. There were two returns for td's in the first half of the very first game I played mainly because the pursuit angles are still bad.

you're right, but who is calling it great??? but MY impression, on MY xbox360, on MY disc, and in MY game I played........I thought it was "greatly improved" with realistic starting field position

I don't think there is any way to know for sure whether or not your roster was corrupted before patch 1. They said, 'do not edit rosters until after patch 1, they are likely to be corrupted.'

Those of you having freezing issues, all I know to do is clear the cache and try re-downloading things. Also, if you have any files that could potentially be corrupted I would delete them, for instance, the sliders have been patched but the game undoubtedly loads your settings everytime you get on. Maybe it freezes because of something associated with that.

I logged in, changed my sliders, and played, and had no issues whatsoever.

^^^I can assure you my roster was not and still is not corrupted. To test this I copied it to a memory card and then tried to load it that way. It worked fine so it obviously is not corrupted. Something on the hard drive is causing it to freeze and the only thing that is on my hardrive that wasn't there before is the first patch.

First, most of what I posted wasn't directed towards you, it was towards the people who are having problems with patch 2, which is what this thread is about.

The only thing that was directed towards you is the statement that you really don't know if it was corrupted before. You could have used it fine, edited it, and as long as you didn't go into dynasty and dynasty crashed you wouldn't have even known it was corrupted. Your 'loading from a memory card' test is not convincing of anything.

Like I said, the only thing I know is that you should clear the cache on your hard drive. If you are having problems after patch 1 and not patch 2, then I am pretty sure you are one of very very few because patch 1 came out a few weeks ago and I haven't seen very many complaints about rosters since then.

I think the freezing issue has to do with patch 2, and I have no idea what is causing it. Hopefully it isn't a big deal, but maybe it is...

patch 3 anyone?

Dammit I just scanned through 43 pages just to find out the PS3 patch isnt out yet. I wish Sony would send the email to let CDowns know he can put it up for dl

I can't wait to get home and pop this game back in. Thanks Adam
