Wait, I thought some uniforms were going to be updated in this patch?

No still feels to easy. Unfortunately football isn't king anymore feeling a lot more excited about the hockey, basketball and soccer games coming out. Head Coach is good though.

Try dropping the tackle slider if you want to see guys break them more often. I don't think there are enough broken tackles on default AA.

I definitely think that the 2nd patch makes this game worthy of a purchase. I was pretty frustrated and disappointed with it prior to the patch but after my first post-patch game, I definitely see some potential for fun with the right slider tweaks.

Anyone else seeing flashbacks to last years NCAA problem, INT's, i put human and cpu INT sliders to 0, and still many picks a game. Any suggestions? Other than that a huge improvement!!!

I've only played 1 game since the 2nd patch was released but I only picked off 1 pass and threw 1 pick, which was caused by me hitting the wrong button on accident. I saw a lot more guys bat the ball down instead of intercepting it, which I can definitely live with.

I don't play online, so that doesn't really entice me, although it is good to hear people enjoying the online experience.

I bought NCAA '06 for 360 (it's BC) a few weeks ago but it's so hard to get into that game because of the framerate drops. Sometimes I wish my expectations weren't so high and that I could be like my buddies who don't read message boards and just go out and buy the game and have fun with it, flaws and all.

Especially when I can get the game for $20, is there really a point in debating this? If it turns out I don't like it after a couple of weeks, I should be able to get that much back in the trade-in value to where it's a wash.

How is the kicking coverage now on both sides (human and CPU) before the patch it was so darn easy to get 30-40 yards on a punt return against the CPU, how is it now?
