It could be that it hasn't passed certification yet.

I just don't see EA releasing patches at different times.

# 565 footballfanatic1 @ 08/24/08 12:56 AM

Question...

Is there a plan for a 3rd patch, or is this it?

I am 99.9% sure that this is it.

I'd just like to reiterate once again.

This game is MUCH MUCH improved post patch.

The pancakes are definitely decreased (pass rush is still not GREAT..but its "ok" now) and defensive pass coverage is much tighter.

Kick and Punt Return coverage is light years better.

CPU AI and Playcalling leaves much to be desired, but I'm having a blast now.

My games online have been lower scoring which is a good thing imo. I actually got sacked by Alabama's defensive end 3 times last game.

I hate that you fumble now almost everytime you dive. I don't really understand the reasoning behind that. I lost a game because of it. I was in the red zone, I dove for extra yardage, I barely got touched and fumbled. It was returned for a TD!!!!

Turnovers result in more touchdowns then they should. I guess that's just the poor pursuit angles.

I agree with AA and his two friends.

Just played my first dynasty game, Cal (me) over Michigan State 27-17. I continue to adjust sliders as I go, but I've played enough to conclude that the major issues are corrected with sliders, as I've eliminated robo QB and improved the CPU run game by leaps and bounds.

Also, this was the second game where I tested the HUM pass rush by lowering the roughing the passer slider to 5, and it enabled me to get three sacks (I had five the last game). I really think this adjustment, along with limiting the blitzes and playing mostly zone D, corrects any pass rush concerns.

Pre-patch #2, the human sliders affected both the human and cpu. The cpu sliders did not work. The patch fixed this which now allows you to better fine-tune the game.

My original score for the game - 6.5. But after the two patches, I'm giving it an 8.0. The CPU play calling is dreadful, and I'm still scratching my head over the lack of throw power for CPU quarterbacks on any pass that's not over the middle, which still leads to too many interceptions - but the game is a hell of a lot better, and worth the purchase, which I regretted at first.

OMT will be getting a ''Thank you'' via PM.

Glad to hear that you are finding enjoyment with the game Anti Honor.

Would it kill one of them to pop in and give a timetable for the PS3 release of the patch, or share any news on that that they know? I mean, I'm not terribly upset, I'm still working on my game as far as relearning controls and getting better myself (first NCAA since 07, and only second NCAA ever), but it seems to me they're turning off some PS3 users...even though I realize it's more of a Sony thing than an EA thing. Regardless, no way I'm starting my dynasty until patch #2.

You're right. I don't mind so much the patch being delayed on the PS3 but let us know what is going on.

Thats good to know. I'll just be glad when I can download it on my PS3!

I second that. Hopefully tomorrow.

Anyone else that hasn't bought this yet having trouble finding the game? I went to 2 Gamestop stores today looking for a 360 version (doing the 2 trade-in and get a new game for $19.99 deal) and neither had a single copy; and apparently no other stores locally have it in stock.

# 577 Pared @ 08/25/08 10:17 AM

Where'd you hear about that? It's not on their site.

# 578 crques @ 08/25/08 10:24 AM

WOW!!!! I just played a game last night (Post Patch 360) and saw something I've never seen before. I was using South Carolina playing USF and Grothe's first 5 passes were incomplete. I have never seen the cpu throw 5 incompletions in a row. His first attempt was a 45 yarder and the next 4 were somewhere in the 10-25 yard range. Of course he did complete his next 3 or 4 but it was still nice to see the incompletions to start the game. The game played pretty good. I won 27-24.

My only real complaint was that the cpu rushing game was horrible again. Grothe tried running the zone read play about 10 times and failed miserably each time. USF rushed for 60 yards total on 27 carries. Grothe had 11 carries for 20 yards. If I could find a way for the cpu to have some rushing success against me to balance things out, I would be pretty satisfied with the game, all things considered. Grothe finished 22 of 35 passing for 280 yards.

# 579 joerob @ 08/25/08 11:13 AM

where the f.... is the ps3 patch. this is getting to be bull****!!!!!

# 580 packmanuk @ 08/25/08 11:16 AM

It would be nice if someone just said when we can expect the ps3 patch. Today, tomorrow, next month ?

Otherwise people will be asking and checking all the time.
