If the sliders, pass accuracy/defense and other issues are actually fixed I think this will be the first real Next-Gen experience.

I continue to re-read that comment and it just baffles me.

We're hoping sliders are fixed and issues we didn't have in a 4 year old game are eliminated once again for a "real Next-Gen experience."

That's almost laughable.

Maybe it is just your outlook on Next Gen gaming. You sig says enough about how you feel for the consoles (the XBox number).

The true hilarity comes when certain people are put in charge of policing forums and they use their new found internet power to post messages that would be considered Trolling by any other member. THAT is almost laughable.

To stay on Topic... I think the slider fix will add a lot of the AI we expect. I am very happy with this installment even with the glaring issues.

What part of the game engine is four years old and still broken did you not get?You yourself even stated the game has glaring issues.

I have no idea what he is going on about.

I guess he took my comments personally when it was obvious it was more about the status of what our gaming has become: Any positive outlook is welcome, no matter if it is a regression from what we had a few years back.

I agree with you on the slider fix. I really hope that this is one of the areas that they focus on for the patch. Tuning the game to our own preference(s) makes the game 1000x better. Sliders that actually work should allow for better pass rush, better CPU running game, etc. The other things I'd really like to see is the CPU playcalling tweaked, so the CPU throws the ball down field more... and of course the Kick/Punt return game being fixed.

I agree. Working sliders and a fixed return game will make this game truly great for me. For those that think this game is too broken to enjoy right now, it doubtful the patch will do enough to make them happy.

I'm not betting the farm on this one.

If you alter the Human sliders right now, they have an equal effect on the CPU and Human's play-style. So a slider with 0 pass blocking and 100 defensive awareness would lead one to believe that the issue should be addressable NOW, even with the sliders broken... and it is not.

Although I do agree that those looking for this patch to alleviate many of the core gameplay issues are possibly setting themselves up for another disappointment.

Re: NCAA Football 09 Patch 2 Info (Pasta Padre)

I agree. I can't wait for the patch to come out so this game is a bit more playable. However, until EA rethinks the way they do sliders, especially for this installment, I don't think its going to have that big of an effect on the game. Like you guys have said, the sliders work but they affect CPU and Human. But still Break Block at 100 still has zero effect on the pass rush. Until something like 0 Break Block means NO pressure, and 100 Break Block means DLs cutting through the OL like a hot knife through butter, it won't matter. The magnitude of the sliders has to change IMO. Not the slight, incremental differences you can barely notice like they are now.

I think sliders will help, but not completely fix the issues, but then again, we dont know what is being patched (hint hint Adam)

Re: NCAA Football 09 Patch 2 Info (Pasta Padre)

Just a nice little "bump" so Adam can find this and tell us what will be in patch since it was ESTIMATED to be finalized on the 1st (Friday). We're ready to be impressed Adam!!

And if you think its rough for you (this is to Adam) take a gander at the Madden forums.....all hell broke loose over there last night
