Actually, I just noticed another annoying thing with this game. I hit a shot to put me up by 1 point with 4 seconds left, and the CPU inbounded the ball and walked it up the court and took about a 35 foot 3 pointer and missed it, of course. This has happened twice now. I don't think the A.I. is programmed properly to understand that they need to hurry down the court in the final seconds and get a decent shot. Anyone else seen this?

After putting it down for a week, I have started playing NCAA again.

The CPU not passing out of the post is still an issue for me (tried 2 games wht blue's varsity sliders, and 2 games with authentic's sliders) but I'm learning to look past it. I just like college basketball too much not to be able to play a game during the season.

I may start a dynasty soon. Either Maryland, Towson University, or Loyola (MD).

I think that helps Chris. I know this game has issues, but it is a lot of fun, and it's atmosphere does suck you in.

Another thing I've noticed is playing zone defense and really focusing on denying the CPU from feeding it down low pays off so you might try a 2-3 or 1-3-1 zone and switch it up several times during the game between man and zone. I've had great results doing this.

Finally someone else besides myself has figured this out. Deny the low post and keep switching up the D and it helps tremendously with this post issue.

Just wasted another 30 minutes of my life. Game froze on me with a minute left in the game. I'm at the end of the road here. I've emailed EA and told them I want a patch or my money back, and they gave me a line of b.s. saying it was probably my console. I just honestly feel ripped off. I didn't pay money for a game that freezes up. If I can't play a dynasty, then I wouldn't have bought this damn game. What do we have to do to get EA to fix this?

As much as I am enjoying this game, I'm going to part with it tonight and pick up something else. I just can't tolerate or get into a game that freezes. Instead of enjoying the game, I find myself hurrying through, in an effort to beat the freeze.
Man I'm sorry to hear this. I know how much you love your College B-ball games. I have not had not 1 freeze with this game. This is just nuts what is happening to gamers and this game. EA has to step up and fix this issue or issue REFUNDS to those affected as that would be the right thing to do.

Yeah, it's a freakin' defective product. I understand if EA doesn't want to devote a bunch of time to nitpicking and fine-tuning this game, but we all deserve a playable game. No one would ever buy a game that freezes up almost every game you try to play. I just can't keep trying to play my dynasty when every other game freezes up on me. And it's always in the second half after I've wasted a lot of time.

I actually went through and upped the top 30 3 point shooters from each conference to around 90ish.... and the teams i am playing are shooting a decent amount of 3s...around 10-15 per game on 7 min halfs...and ive seen their % from 60-70 % to 25-30 %....this really helps the game play a ton...

Yup, that's a problem I've seen plenty of. Luckily it's never been at the end of the game for me, only at the end of the first half.

The EA guys not patching the freezes is almost unbelievable.
If EA is planning on releasing this game next year, I'm not sure how many people they think plan on buying this. It's been an issue since 09, and it's much worse and prevelant this year, do they think a lot of people will buy it?

Really makes me think this will be the last year, because it would be a pretty easy business decision to patch it if they planned on continuing the series. Unless they like a significant drop in sales, because I don't see how you could buy this game next year if you have experienced the freezing.

I have been a huge supporter of this game on here but I think I am about done with it.
My main issues are:
1. The lack of cpu 3 pt shots.
2. The constent turn around jumpers by the cpu on the block.
3. The lack of any AI at the end of games by the cpu.
4. Every game is the same for me in my dynasty. I always fall behind early and have to make a run in the 2nd half. This happens every game! EVERY game the cpu comes out on fire.
 
# 1172 Behindshadows @ 12/06/09 05:46 AM
Why is everyone having problems with cpu 3 point shots, I played against Ohio state the other day and their first 3 shots were all open 3's. And they hit every last one in the first minute of the half.

I'm not having issues with the computer taking 3's. They are definitely taking them. If you want the CPU to pass out of the post, then run play sets that cloud the post and they will pass out for jumpers.

Stop running and gunning and run real playsets and in return the CPU will play as such.
 
# 1173 Omega Kid @ 12/06/09 07:30 AM
Saw cpu make 3pts specially on down at the end of 2nd half.
They play ball out of the post aswell, maybe often, but they do.
Never get a freeze for now, but i dnt play dynasty.

I'm not playing now due to the freezing issue. I was thoroughly enjoying the game up until that point. But once a game freezes a couple of times on me, I'm done with it.

that sucks, but Im convinced it is tied to what files or settings people are using. I have played 22 dynasty games and had that one freezing issue, but it was transferring to campus menu.

my roster file is from the operationsports project, but deleted rosters needed to play online. I also have espn ticker and espn update turned off

Not a surprise to me it's been that way for years with all EA games.

The only way to fix some game play issues or get a better game is to roll up your sleeves and edit the ratings in all of EA games not just this one.

It's pretty sad that we have to do it every year......

Unfortunately most people don't have the patient for this stuff and EA should hire a group of guys for all their sports games who enjoy and understand ratings.

You must have a different game from me.
Like I have stated before if you play a big time team they will shoot 3's but the lesser programs never shoot 3's which is just unrealistic. I played Praire View in my UC dynasty and they shot 3 total 3's the whole game.

This is the first time I have every quoted myself on this board (lol) but I just had too respond myself.
So I decided to switch back to 2k8 I was done with this game for good.
Well after downloading the newest rosters for 2k8 (no one still has a complete set) and deciding to be Purdue in a new dynasty. I put in Purdue's real schedule as close as it would let me and I was off to play.
I played two games and I am done! I dont know what it is but I just cant play 2k8 anymore.
It is like I am playing an old playstation 2 game. I cant really put my finger on it but NCAA 10 is just far better to me. The presentation, the correct schedules, the full rosters done, even the new updates shoes reel me back to this game. The gameplay even tho it bugs me at times (late game AI) is just so much more fun 99% of the time. Like I said I really wanted to ditch this game and go back to 2k8 because of the lack of 3 point shooting in some games. But at the end of the day this game is just so much more fun to play. It feels like I am playing and watching a college bball game plain and simple.

I had to laugh at this. Good stuff. Maybe editing ratings can at least the fix 3 point attempts issue for you. I know the frustration of having a great game and just a few things annoying you.

I don't have this game but I like reading the impressions. I might pick it up cheap for tourney time. I just don't play many basketball games anymore.
