NCAA 09 Patch #2 Available --- Impressions Here

[Tovarich]

In 6 quarters of playing since the patch, I've fumbled 7 times...without changing the sliders at all...I hope this is an anomoly and they didn't way overdo it. I don't think I fumbled 7 times in a season before. That's not enough, but more than once a quarter is excessive.

The CPU finally beat me. My advantage of insane punt returns and kick returns is a thing of the past. Plus, from what I've seen, I'm much more in control on defense now (but that may just be me).

Going to be a good weekend......

Thanks to all the EA staff. They've been great throughout all the ordeals for Madden, NCAA and HC.

But please, don't f-up sliders next year!!!

What the hell would that be...I havent played a lick of Madden since the 1st few days of release. Online dynasties are soo good! This patch will make them almost perfect! (still wish you could get hired and fired online)!

I’ll state again that there’s no promise that this goes through, but we have nearly every one of these features actually ‘done’ internally, so now we have to figure out how to get Microsoft and Sony to allow us to release them.

Sorry to go off topic, but to answer Ruffy's question: Patch #2 for Madden sounds good, but the DLC is what I really want. Now back to Patch #2 comments for the PS3.

Wisconsin oline was opening holes tanks could drive through. To me the pass rush from my front 4 is still none existant. I need to ajust something in game.

EDIT: I never reset the sliders before playing my first game so that would be why the computer had that kind of rushing day.

Are the pursuit angles any better? Do you still get escorted to the end zone?

The time clock is still broken... I don't notice any difference overall, at least not as markedly as I thought it was going to be, only that I've now gotten two strange things happening (PS3 version):

1. My receivers end up getting hit in the head a lot more and not making the catch where they once did.

2. The animation has gotten really REALLY choppy. It's no longer looking very smooth and you can see where the animation's link...

I like the game a lot more pre 2nd patch... I can only hope that there is a 3rd flawless patch that comes out to address these issues...

Again, the play clock is still taking an aveverage of 20 secs off after picking a play resulting in piss poor clock managment...
