A Patch is out for NCAA Football 08 PS3 No Joke!!!!

[therizing02]

I'm still disgusted that this game made it past the original testing phase. EA released this piece of s*it with all of these issues. It would only take maybe an hour of testing to know about the fumbles, interceptions and human passing game problems. I mean they released a demo and within 30 minutes people were posting about the fumble issue. The bottom line is they flat out don't give a f***. Forget the ridiculous producer blogs next year too, because no one is going to believe anything they say anyway after this years debacle.

Sometimes I think companies leave obvious bugs and glitches in games so they have something to fix next year. Add that to some BS new overdone gimmick and you have NCAA/MADDEN 09.

Come next year, we'll do it all again.It's the vicious EA cycle of life.

I think some of us are going to break away.. if they don't release a patch, I'm going to be strong and not hunt. I'm going to wait for a week or two post release on here to see how bad the complaints are. If the complaints are stuff that I would find significant, I won't buy it next year. I refuse to keep indulging this cycle when EA fails to provide customer service.

While the precision passing is still not as accurate as it was on last gen (it's still next-to-impossible to choose to throw over a particular shoulder, for example), it is much better than it was. Specifically, throwing touch passes is much better, leading is much better, pressure sensitivity is much better, etc. Overall, the game plays better, but I won't say this is some groundbreaking "OMG, GAMESAVER!" situation. The human passing game is much improved - that seems to have been the focus. The CPU's passing game, however, doesn't seem to have been effected all that much. I did only have one INT in the game I played, so I guess I'll cross my fingers on that one.

Good news! I was starting to get fairly ticked at the game for some of the passing issues. And if it just helps the cpu passing game a little I'll be happier. I didn't get any games in last night but will definately test this out during my SEC Championship game. It may require a few more slider tweaks.


P.S. I don't understand how the same game can't be patched on the 360 when about 3 times as many people own that version.

Thats bs, not fixing the 360 also. Well, time to trade this in...lame.

Same here. My days of buying EA football games without waiting to read the post-release reviews are over.

Well it seems clear who EA wants to win the Console war.

Thats a tad harsh, i would bet 80% of the buyers of the games are not playing it anymore. Putting out a patch 5 months later won't change much in sales.

What i do not understand is 360 was the lead console and supposedly is so easy to program for (at least compared to the Ps3) and there is technical issues?
