NCAA 09 Patch #2 Available --- Impressions Here

[DJ]

Is this game worthy of a purchase? I'm tempted to pick this up after cashing on the Gamestop trade-in deal, but am a bit hesitant after reading all the problems/issues guys have been having with the game.

I have done a lot of complaining the last few weeks so it only fair that I comment on this new patch. It has made a HUGE improvement I think. The game still has some problems which can hopefully be worked out for next year but most of the issues that existed were either fixed or improved a little. The game is playable by my standards so I thank you for giving us a pretty good patch in a timely fashion.

What was once a wild shootout kind of game before the patch has turned into a defensive struggle in the two games I played tonight and I got some fairly realistic results with minor tweaking of the sliders.

After the second patch released today I would say yes, it is worth a purchase.

My mother passed away this year and she was a memeber of Delta Sigma Theta and her initials are also D.S.T. so I did it as a tribute to her.

Uh, not really. Seems to me all they had to do was make the INT slider more responsive. They could have certainly done that with patch #2.

As far as I'm concerned, if the INT slider is at 0, defenders should be incapable of catching the ball. Stone hands. They really have to make the INT slider work like magic for 2010, because excessive INTs have nearly killed this game for two years running.
