NCAA 09 Patch #2 Available --- Impressions Here

[Furious Jig]

Are the "visit" glitch and the "i'm staying but the game wont let me" glitch fixed, this is what I want to know

[Keyser Soze]

can anyone verify whether or not ONLINE DYNASTY talking guys from XFERING or going pro early glitch has been fixed?

pre-patch only the dynasty creator could talk guys out of going pro. I hoping they fixed this but I am not optimistic since it wasn't listed.

This is from my impression post above.........

"The longest punt return that I saw was a 35 yarder by Devine, of course it is Devine so that's acceptable. For the most part kick and punt returns were held in check. I think I had 1 return to the 40 and the rest were anywhere from the 25 to 30 yard line. The cpu had 1 return to the 35 and the rest were 30 yard line or less."

I haven't even felt my annual urge to go out and buy madden this year. I am having the most fun I ever had with an NCAA game in my Over 30 Club Online Dynasty....and that is before patch #2. Now that the patch is out, it will get even better!

Go ahead and get Madden bro you wont be dissapointed.I have them both and I'm not dissapointed even though the PS3 patch hasn't released

[EAreaper26]

how many people will ask this question? No, there is no way in Heylll you can get the patch without your PS3 being connecting to the net.

I recommend it. And I'm one of EA's biggest critics. It was fun and immersive before the patch, despite its many serious flaws, and the patch appears to have remedied most of them. If you're a college football fan, you should get it, and not just because it's your only college FB gaming option. I can't yet speak for dynasty mode, and I don't play on-line, but otherwise it's a very fun experience.

I know I will end up getting it eventually (I always do)...I am a MUCH BIGGER NFL fan than I am a college football fan...but I am having so much fun with NCAA 09 this year (in my online dynasty)....if I am not playing my dynasty games, I am busy working on our league website.

If madden's online leagues were an actual online Franchise Mode (like ncaa) however....i would probably have it by now... ....but yeah, I will probably get madden 09 eventually.

During a drive in the 3rd Qtr, they actually ran 3 straight times for about 25 yards total but then went back to the passing game. I do think that I would have given up at least 100 yards rushing if they had ran maybe 10 more times, which was encouraging to see. For me Devine had 24 carries for 210 yards (including a 90 yarder) and White had 12 carries for 84 yards. I completed 18 of 25 passes for 270 yards with 1 Int. The cpu completed 27 of 38 passes for 390 yards and 1 Int. Overall I was pleased with the changes I saw in gameplay. The score and yardage were still pretty high but WVU does put points on the board and Nebraska's defense wasn't that good last season. I'm anxious to try more games over the weekend to get a better feel for the patch. I did walk away from my game last night with a much better feeling about the game than I had a few days ago and think that with some minor slider adjustments, this game might actually keep me away from the PS2 version more than I thought it would.

With the improvements, this is still my greatest frustration. I'm trying to get teams who actually should be running the spread option to run it properly. It's a major major wart for me.

My last game out, Matt Grothe of USF had 20 yds on 20 carries.
I'm not sure if it is just the programming logice that is making those difficult, but I'm still trying.

The game is playing better, and I really hope that with the sliders working I can put in some time over the weekend, and actually have to worry about Tim Tebow and Pat White, running the offense well.

If I cant, this is going to be strictly a online dynasty game for me.
