I have two questions:

1) Any idea as to what the recruiting exploits were that have been fixed?

2) Will the gameplay change within the current dynasty? Or...do I need to start a new one?

Patch#2 also addressed the ROBO Qb and horrible defense AI in this game and IMO, the gameplay is near perfect now. I think imma fire up a game right now! Peace

I don't wanna turn this into a Madden vs NCAA debate, so I'll stop after this, but NCAA is 10 times better in the presentation dept vs Madden. But it should be honestly. They have had this presentation for 3 years now on NCAA and Madden is a late bloomer in that dept.

And I'll agree, this is the solid foundation for gameplay that the series has needed. I feel as though they have a good thing to build upon.

1) I have no idea what recruiting exploit was fixed.

2) you do not have to start a new dynasty for the patch to take effect.

Thanks man! Appreciate it! Also, do you know if these will all now work with my current dynasty or do I have to start a whole new one? I would imagine it would work with my current one because it affects the system of the game and not like rosters or something. Am I right?

1. one was an exploit you could do where you could spend all day with 1 recruit by hard selling pitches over and over again. now they will hang up more often if you keep trying to hard sell the same thing.

the other one was something with quick call where you could end up with 2 pitches at "most". that according to Adam if i remember correctly.

2. no, you don't have to start over. you'll probably have to adjust sliders more though. (even the updated recruiting that the patch did will work)

Solidice, thanks for posting the patch notes.

# 688 CNLJ1981 @ 08/29/08 09:10 PM

This is excellent news guys! I appreciate your responses. I was a HUGE fan of the game pre-patch and can only imagine that I'll be even more pleased afterward!

Can't use your flashdrive. Only way is online. If you have it plugged up all you have to do is start NCAA and it does the rest.

They aren't any.

This is great! Downloaded patch #2 and now this game is playing much like the past generation of the game, just with better graphics! Kickoff coverage is noticeable right away. The CPU is still capable of busting a return out to the 40 yard line, but the HUM gunners actually angle towards the ball carrier and its quite possible to tackle the CPU around the 25 yard line.

the ones i post were the PS3 patch notes. i think the only difference between the 360 and PS3 patch was the Stadium Sounds.

360 got it patched so if the user is the away team, and you have sounds specifically for the home team your facing, the sounds will play. this already worked that way for the PS3 version.

the PS3 fixes the "all" option so it doesn't overwrite the team specific ones. the 360 didn't have this problem.

Wow, groovy. That wait wasn't so bad. Cool beans.

# 700 nxt @ 08/29/08 10:11 PM

Great news... and just in time for the 3-day weekend.

Unless Madden gets the CPU running game fixed... via Patch#2 or DLC, I will be rolling with NCAA.
