Re: NCAA Football 09 Patch #2 Arrives Tonight

Their d-line by no means sucks in the game or in real life this year. They have one of the best d-lines in the country. Taylor, Jamison and Graham are all very good players and all big ten kind of players. The d-line and secondary are both very good this year.

LOL at you thinking Arkansas State should dominate Michigan's d-linemen. You obviously aren't a Michigan fan if you thought that. Seriously man what are you smoking?

If I see another 90 rated d-linemen get pancaked by a 70 rated o-linemen I may go crazy. That simply should not happen. The pass rush is broke this year no slider will change that.

My only impression.. Where's the online dynasty's from EASportsWorld? Still can't view them there. Any ideas?

Re: ***Official NCAA '09 Post Patch Impressions thread***

Kick coverage is better- The gunners start firing in before reaching the same yard line as the Returner. (Around the 35 yard line)

Robo QB still seems to be there (FCS SE completed around 75% of their passes against me)

Strafe Catch has been fixed (but it doesn't seem like you can strafe at all now)

Still can't see my league on EASW.com

Haven't had a chance to see about Fumbles while diving (anyone else?)

I got the patch at 5:05 ET. I'm surprised that it has not released for you guys. The kick returning IMO has improved very little. Kick returners still get out to the 35-40 yard line but I have stopped them between the 25-30 yard line about 3 times. The screens for the HB are still the same but they have improved for the WR. The HB's stop and wait for a second then run out. I'm doing this in practice mode by the way. That's all I've noticed so far.

You do realize that the average starting point after kickoff returns in college is around the 32 yard line right? Those numbers aren't out of line and working sliders should help if they are a little off.

I don't even have an issue with the kickoff returns now for the most part. Its the punt returns that were horrible. It was way too easy to return punts at over 20 yards a pop. How is the coverage on those?

Only played a qtr and really didnt mess too much with sliders but the kickoff coverage was much better. Saw 3 of 'em not reach past 30yd line.

Re: ***Official NCAA '09 Post Patch Impressions thread***

The KR/PR seems to be better, especially punt returns.

Just to see if the pass rush was helped at all due to the other fixes, I put my settings on All-American, with the human and CPU pass block sliders set at 0 and both break block sliders set at 100. Everything else was at 50.

I played Temple vs Georgia (me). Temple sacked Stafford 3 times. I only sacked Temple 1 time on a busted HB screen. I blitzed about 50% of the downs. The problem was Temple's QB would pass to a slot receiver or TE .25 seconds after the snap every time, especially on a blitz. It didn't matter how covered the receiver was, the QB would still throw the ball. It's impossible for a defender to reach the quarterback that fast.

Re: ***Official NCAA '09 Post Patch Impressions thread***

Kickoff coverage has been drastically improved.

I was playing with CPU RB Ability up at 80 and they were pretty good on Heisman but a lot of it felt like the old Heisman level where your players get to the ball but their RB breaks a crazy amount of tackles.

Sliders? Are they working for both now? Good news on the special teams, that was my major issue along with sliders.

yea because last year our 90 rated linemen busted through every play against app st right? Wake up dude. Look at our d-line vs say USC then tell me they dont suck in the game this year. I will say this tho i jumped the gun on calling it fixed. It is not fixed after 4 games now. Same old crap. Robo QB is still in as you predicted and the dline struggles to get pressure no matter what you do. Maybe the penalty adjustments will save us who knows.

OHHH!. I like the CPU throwing deep on me. Caught me off guard. It woke me up.

That's part of the patch?

Re: NCAA Football 09 Patch #2 Arrives Tonight

^^^That was one game, you don't judge teams based on one game. After those first couple of games the d-line played very well. That same d-line was all over Tim Tebo for most of the game in the bowl game. They pressured him all game. Michigan d-line should dominate a team like Arkansas State easily. And for the record App State is a hell of alot better than Arkansas State.

Re: ***Official NCAA '09 Post Patch Impressions thread***

^^^No but keep in mind he also said the pass rush was improved when it is clearly not.
