True, I want the kick coverages and DEFINITELY the sliders to work, to tune the game as much as possible. I wish the CPU play calling would be better, but I doubt that will change with the patch or sliders. It seems every year that is consistent in my opinion. The CPU not passing deep or any real depth in the play calling..ie...screen pass on 4th and 25, or a basic run play up the middle on 3rd and 15...stuff like that.

BUT, if you go into your display options on your PS3, uncheck the 720p option and teh 1080i option, the then games upconvert to 1080p, and look much better. Tried that and it didn't work....it actually converted it to 480i, from my standard 1080p..For some reason you can't uncheck the NTSC standard box....

Does your TV support 720p? If not, if you uncheck 1080, it'll drop down to 480i b/c there is no 720 to go to.

But if you uncheck 720, 1080i in your PS3 display options, GTA(for example) will come in at 1080p...as will College Hoops.

A 1080i signal contains less information than a 720p signal because only half the lines are carried for each frame, making it's information load equal to 540p. Edit: As a side note, how is CH2K8 running for you when you force 1080p? I have a new 1080p set and no longer have the game. I remember the game suffered from slowdown at times even at 720p. I can't imagine the game is smoother at 1080p but I'd still like to hear from someone who tried it.

Somebody on here stated to turn off the auto-connect to the 2K servers when you turn on the game and that would help the slowdown. I think that did help a bit, b/c now I only see slowdown when playing at Duke, but for some reason it always exists there. I don't know if me converting up to 1080p helped or not.

How about "accomplishing" an apology to the thousands of customers who still don't have a game that works properly more than a month after release?

You EA people post in very matter-of-fact tones, and personally, I find that offensive.

I don't expect you to be drinking cyanide or falling on your swords, but a "so sorry for the continued delay, we really do appreciate your loyalty" might go a long way.

But I guess you can't do that; it would be admitting culpability, and then you wouldn't be a good EA soldier, would you?

Whoever said that this is great customer service needs a reality check. The entire comedy of errors that has been NCAA next gen is simply pathetic.

I would like to thank the team for posting here and for supporting the game. At the same time it is unfortunate this game required such extensive patching.

However, this is the inevitable culmination of taking gaming systems on line. This has pretty much been par for the course for PC based games for as long as I can remember there being an internet (which I predate). Now that consoles have moved into the realm of internet access it has allowed patching and hence a fix later mentality. At the same time I prefer this over the original console system of unfixable game play problems. Just try to keep perspective and remain calm. It is a game that is not ideal but still playable in its current form and once it is patched it will be improved.

what does that have to do with PS3 patch status?

I was answering a question NOT directed at you. If you can't read through the first 5 posts in this thread and get an idea of what's going on, then you need more help than just a patch.

That's not really necessary.
