NCAA Basketball 10 Patch, Most Likely Won't Happen (Pasta Padre)

If that's the case then they should stop making the game. I hope they don't, but if they really feel that way then it's a damn shame. But then again this is EA were talking about.

I was holding out for a patch. I'm trading it in towards something else. First EA bball game I bought in 9 yrs, and a very good one imo, but I cant keep playing it with no patch. Damn.

IMO, this is a pathetic joke on the part of EA. Since PS3 has come out the games have gotten cheaper, yet more expensive.

Remember the college baseball series? They put it out there with 10 stadiums, completely fake schedules that did not even resemble how college baseball played, and a whopping 110 or so on 300 plus division one programs. Next year they did not promote the game and did not tell of the changes and we got 120 teams and 14 stadiums. Joke.

Then NCAA football comes out for PS3, and there are no D1-AA teams. Yes most of us wont play with them, but they are an important aspect in scheduling to make the game realistic. No one wants to play the FCS West. It also effects rankings and BCS when no D1-AA teams are even in the game, much less does not allow us to us real schedules.

Then this excuse of a basketball game. Unless you perform surgery on your sliders, you will have major issues. Not passing out of the post, lack of opponent 3', lack of computer fouls, the funny looking stumble and loss of the ball when your big men try to move inside. Not to mention horribly inaccurate rosters with players listed as the wrong class and schedules that are not correct.

Really EA? How hard would it have been to create the extra 15 teams. Would it really be a daunting task to create a school like Bryant, give them one of your 5 generic gyms and make a half attempt at a roster?

The fact that people payed $60 for this game and it freezes is a joke if EA will not patch the game. You drive your prices up every year and we get less for it. I would rather pay EA $70 or $80 for a complete playable game. Atleast then I would feel ripped off but have a game I can play and enjoy.

for those who were looking for a patch to fix the post play, ianlast may have found a work around involving editing player ratings.

Not ideal, but its better than nothing.

By turning this all the way down to 10 for every player, I've noticed 3 things in particular: 1) It seems to have little to no effect on the likelihood of an inside shot going in (I'm guessing this is determined primarily by the Field Goal rating, as well as the sliders). 2) The instant turnaround jumpers in the post are gone. The CPU will now back down for 3 or 4 seconds before shooting a jump hook or some other back-to-the-basket move. 3) For the first time ever, I've actually seen the CPU (drum roll please) kick the ball back out from the post. In my test game between Illinois (me) and Iowa, I counted 5 times where the CPU opted to kick the ball back out, even once off an offensive rebound. There were also another 5 instances where the CPU player dribbled out of the post. Granted that's not alot (I play 20 min halves), but still a major improvement. I realize this would be a royal pain in the butt to do, and throws ratings completely out of whack. But it is a solution for those who get sick of the CPU constantly shooting in the post.

Good idea, but there are what, 3500 players in the game? That will take a long time.

only adjust ratings prior to playing opponent

Can you do that in dynasty mode? If so, then that's not so bad.

Rome was not built in a day so why give up on this basketball series when it finally made great strides this year. Don't give up when your so close, eventually people will come back but if you give up you might not just hurt the NCAA community but sports gamers everywhere that play your other titles. Quite frankly Madden sucks and I use to be huge on that as well as NCAA football but this will be the last EA game I ever buy if Ncaa basketball get the shaft. I know I am just 1 person so my money won't make or break you I just hope I am not the only one that feels this way. I am just a huge college basketball fan and I will be lost if I do not have a college bb series next year.

You don't stick with a product line that doesn't have a strong bottom line or strong reputation. College Hoops is a niche market, one that only die-hard fans follow. Casual fans pop up around March (office pools ftw).

Thats like if you bought a car, it ended up having a recall that needed to be fixed, then the company drops that whole line of cars? Thats crazy. I really will not be surprised if Live is next. Look at the lack of proper DNA updates. If its updated daily, why are my rosters still not accurate?! SMH!! I will not purchase another EA basketball game period! NCAA Basketball is it for me. If we had a choice in football games, i wouldnt even bother with madden. Sorry for the rant, but i am really frustrated. With a patch, the game would be awesome.

We had to live with that before there were patches. It's no different for us guys who started back on older systems.

NBA 2K10 had terrible interior D out of the box...and people were genuinely angry. A lot of other issues also. People power won out and they came back with a killer patch that even added new defensive animations and AI defenseive code and fixed most issues. Why did they do it? Because their game sells close to 500 000 copies on each major console and they needed to keep the masses pleased. The company could justify the expense. Unfortunately, NCAA hardly sells...so they are essentially saying "you 20 000 odd guys who bought it are not worth enough financially for us to spend $$$ fixing our product". That's the bottom line. It really is that simple. Companies work out whether the time and money invested will be worth the reward they get. No one really cares about "doing the right thing". They come on here now and say "hey, maybe we'll fix it in the future"........which basically means "look, if somehow this thing sells like crazy over christmas and we've got a bigger market, hell yeah we will look after them". As it stands now though, small market = no support. If FIFA had major issues....it would be fixed. Quickly. Sony did the same thing with NBA 09. They didn't even realease a single roster update if I recall correctly.

It does have major issues. Over 70 confirmed in Manager Mode with no plans to fix, not to mention custom team tactics for 75% of the clubs were generic and not true to life.
