LOL yeah I know...it seems almost like the type of thing where you'll have to just have to jump out there on your own and do it through trial and error....no manual no nothing lol. Maybe someone who has messed around with it with the NCAA roster can chime in at some point.

Just to be clear, EA didn't "give up the license." All they did was agree that they would no longer own an exclusive license for NCAA--meaning that EA can still be licensed to make NCAA games, they just have to allow NCAA to also be allowed to negotiate and sell licenses to other developers who might be interested in making an NCAA game.

The practical effect here might just be that EA pays less for the license (since it's no longer exclusive), but no other developers are interested in making a game so EA remains our only college football option.

It would be nice if Sony and the makers of the Show made a college game. 2k tried before and it was rock bottom.

Just did a system update on the PS3.

"Message of the Day"

"The Nike Pro Combat demo/pre-order uniforms have been unlocked for everyone Army, Boise State, Georgia, LSU, Michigan State, Navy, Ohio State, Oklahoma State, Oregon, Stanford are now selectable at Team Select under Uniform Options for these schools."

Hopefully this is good info for the people complaining about the uniform store.

So what's the comprehensive list of what the patch really did.

I'm not complaining, but i started my Husker dynasty over and got housed last night. 31-14 to southern miss.

tighter coverage
stiffer run defense
more aggressive play by cpu

i threw like 7 picks.

this feels a lot more like the game i was expecting in july.

Everything you listed I agree 100% with. More picks are being thrown on both sides. I had to lower the INT slider. Run Def is stiffer because that slider is actually working again (last patch broke it). I was very happy when I discovered that because I can play around with the Run Block slider and get a decent pancake balance for both teams. Finally it is true the CPU is more aggressive. The CPU QB is a bit smarter now and I notice they are more accurate and are using touch passes in certain situations. Looks really pretty. I see all of this on AA with my personal slider set.

I'm hoping that the CPU offensive aggressiveness translated over to varsity level because if so I can use FistofRage's slider set which minimizes the DB glitch. I'll be a really happy camper then.

So basically yeah everything you said and to add the CPU QBs are playing lights out.

Strange. I have my sliders set up very difficult on Heisman and I thought that passing on O was easier, running the ball is easier, and my defense has been playing better. I have only thrown one INT post patch and my comp pct has gone up also.

It has played well, though post patch other than a couple of freezes.

I'll say it one last time, this game is playing golden right now IMO. My last four scores in my Gator dynasty (year two):

UGA: 27-14 W
USC: 21-31 L
TAMU: 38-21 W
Vandy: 37-31 OT W
