Uh, hello. Anybody home? The messed up sliders was the main problem with the game. A working set won't address everything, but it should solve most of the issues. You expect the game to magically adjust to how you want it to play? You're supposed to tweak the sliders to get the style of play you desire.

That is the thing at least for me, the thing that drives me insane more than the pass rush or anything else is the dumb CPU playcalling. Please EA do something with this for next year, it needs to be a priority.

^^Also before you tell him to adjust sliders you might want to realize there are no sliders to improve kick or punt coverage. Not that they are as needed as before.

The gunners are better but the pursuit angles are still terrible. Calling it great would definatly be an exageration. There were two returns for td's in the first half of the very first game I played mainly because the pursuit angles are still bad.

you're right, but who is calling it great??? but MY impression, on MY xbox360, on MY disc, and in MY game I played........I thought it was "greatly improved" with realistic starting field position

I don't think there is any way to know for sure whether or not your roster was corrupted before patch 1. They said, 'do not edit rosters until after patch 1, they are likely to be corrupted.'

Those of you having freezing issues, all I know to do is clear the cache and try re-downloading things. Also, if you have any files that could potentially be corrupted I would delete them, for instance, the sliders have been patched but the game undoubtedly loads your settings everytime you get on. Maybe it freezes because of something associated with that.

I logged in, changed my sliders, and played, and had no issues whatsoever.

^^^I can assure you my roster was not and still is not corrupted. To test this I copied it to a memory card and then tried to load it that way. It worked fine so it obviously is not corrupted. Something on the hard drive is causing it to freeze and the only thing that is on my hardrive that wasn't there before is the first patch.

First, most of what I posted wasn't directed towards you, it was towards the people who are having problems with patch 2, which is what this thread is about.

The only thing that was directed towards you is the statement that you really don't know if it was corrupted before. You could have used it fine, edited it, and as long as you didn't go into dynasty and dynasty crashed you wouldn't have even known it was corrupted. Your 'loading from a memory card' test is not convincing of anything.

Like I said, the only thing I know is that you should clear the cache on your hard drive. If you are having problems after patch 1 and not patch 2, then I am pretty sure you are one of very very few because patch 1 came out a few weeks ago and I haven't seen very many complaints about rosters since then.

I think the freezing issue has to do with patch 2, and I have no idea what is causing it. Hopefully it isn't a big deal, but maybe it is...

patch 3 anyone?

# 387 justblaze09 @ 08/21/08 08:50 PM

Dammit I just scanned through 43 pages just to find out the PS3 patch isnt out yet. I wish Sony would send the email to let CDowns know he can put it up for dl

# 388 elroyb @ 08/21/08 08:56 PM

I can't wait to get home and pop this game back in. Thanks Adam

# 389 mkjackson7 @ 08/21/08 09:01 PM

How do you get the patch? Is it the automatic update that pops on your screen when you first turn the game on?

No more house rules! 2. The Sliders working helps so much. Now the CPU is much more challenging on All American. 3. THERE IS A PASS RUSH!!! PRAISE THE LORD! THERE IS A PASS RUSH!!! I'm playing Alabama on the road in Tuscaloosa. My highly rated D line is actually getting in the backfield, not getting pancaked every play, and on a play just 5 minutes ago, both of my Defensive Ends blew by the Bama tackles and got to the QB. There are still pancakes, but not NEAR the insane amount as before. I almost wept with joy. I'll post a vid in a bit showing the improved pass rush. It's absolutely exhilirating. note I have Break block at 100 and CPU pass block at 0. I'm on All American. 4. You can hear opposing stadium sounds and it is SWEET. I'm listening to the Million Dollar Band in Tuscaloosa with Auburn on the road. I'm such a geek, I'll be setting each playlist before I play because it adds SO much to the game. Good job EA. This is a DEFINITE improvement, especially on defense. Hopefully these carry over in Human vs Human games as well.

This is the man who's opinion I was waiting on. If he's happy, I know I will be.

# 391 nxt @ 08/21/08 09:08 PM

Still no word on the PS3 patch? Man, I'm getting off work soon and was hoping it would be available by the time I get home.

I use the DL exclusively when I play the CPU, because if I use a DB, I will have a Thorpe Award finalist every dang season, regardless of whether the dude truly sucks or not.

Where's the video?

What does Odogg think?

You're looking for help on how to post EA Sports World videos....in a thread about a patch?

I play exclusively DL, and I still have that problem. Some years are better than others, but at one point, the top FOUR guys for the award were on my team, and I even want to say there was a FIFTH guy further down the list, iirc.

# 397 AuburnAlumni @ 08/21/08 10:05 PM

I will say the thing I am most happy about is that...even though they said they didn't change the OL/DL interaction...it's blatantly obvious that the amount of chopblocks and pancakes..at least on All American with slider tweaks...is greatly diminished.

This is so huge because it allows you a much better opportunity of getting a DL free to rush the QB instead of getting knocked to the ground.

I have played about 6 games post patch and it's light years difference playing DL IMO. I'm really overjoyed because that was just about a gamekiller for me...having D linemen get flattened every play.

When I see Antonio Coleman speed rush past a tackle and get in the QB's face....tears of joy stream down my face.

NCAA 09 version 2.0 is a much more enjoyable experience for me.

I was trying to make a post showing some game clips of some post patch gameplay that I liked after making some slider tweaks..but just butchered it...sorry about the confusion.

Could someone help me out? someone could PM if they would like, rather then clutter the thread.

# 399 LHaze30 @ 08/21/08 10:17 PM

Are the recruiting glitches gone post-patch? Hopefully so. It was brutal playing an online dynasty with users glitching the recruiting engine. Please tell me it is fixed!!!

# 400 Mikey16 @ 08/21/08 10:24 PM

Can all you 360 owners stop saying how much better the game is...i'm starting to get a migraine
