Re: NCAA Football 09 Patch #2 Available, Impressions Here

are pancakes LESS on AA? that is the ONLY reason I can possibly think of looking at AA since heisman is so easy this year. If my DLine falls down LESS then great, if not then why?

Why are you at work? You're supposed to be home testing this game, finding answers not asking questions.

So is there definite confirmation that cpu sliders work now?

Re: NCAA Football 09 Patch #2 Available, Impressions Here

I thought i would post my first game post patch for those at work.

S Cal 61 (me), Mich St 29- AA level- adjusted sliders- CPU QB at 40- 8 minutes

Sanchez 17-27-163-1-0
Hoyer 13-29-165-2-5 44%

Johnson 41-200-2- long 13
McKnight 5-70-1 Long 38
Cable had like 5 carries

Ringer 10-116-1 Long 80
Jimmerson 6-75- 1 long 67

Drops
MSU 4
USC 1

Sacks
USC 3
MSU 1

Penalties- using mood sliders
USC 3
MSU 4

Some thoughts- obviously was nice to see Hoyer under 50% at home when he is a pretty good QB. The MSU points were all on big plays. The two runs you see there. Hoyer hit Ringer on a blitz for a long TD and McKnight fumbled a punt return.

The five picks were more than i would have hoped and two i returned for TDs. This is with int at 0 and i think awr was 30. I probably dropped a good 3-4 more.

I am raising the QB Acc to 45 and dropped awr for me now. I really had hoped for more sacks and thought i did have one or two more than the CPU listed but overall the pressure wasn't that good.

Only 5 drops in the game total with catching at zero for both surprised me a tad. As did 7 total penalties using the Mood sliders which are turned down. Most were holding however.

Overall, USC should beat MSU and did. MSU has some big play guys and did that. Would have liked to see more D Line pressure as two of those three sacks where by a safety and LB. One was a stupid QB running out play.

Yes the sliders definitely work and it doesn't take large adjustments to make a huge difference. The only slider that I think does not work is the WR Catch slider I set it to 0 and still dont see many dropped passes...

But I think with this patch we could be close to having a solid game

I hope I'm not getting too excited for this. I want to be able to play this game and have fun... alas we wait for the PS3 patch....

The only slider that I think does not work is the WR Catch slider I set it to 0 and still dont see many dropped passes...

If the WR Catching slider works like it did in NCAA 08, it doesn't affect catching so much as it affects how well receivers react and adapt to the ball when it's in the air.

Think of it more as WR Awareness.

To players still run out of bounds when they have a crap load of green in front of them?

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

I know you are a pretty good player but I would suggest starting on AA and really boosting things for the cpu to try to find a challenge for yourself.

ie. drop human def. awareness to 0 but boost cpu awareness to 100
boost cpu run block and RBA to 100 (stuff like that)

I think AA plays a more balanced game without some of the bad things Heisman offers. If you still can't find a challenge then jump to Heisman but I do think people should try to make AA work for them before making that leap.

Pre-patch AA & Heisman were too easy for me.

I'm trying to make Varsity difficult because I can get some type of pass rush on that level.

I'm gonna make a slider log right now...

yeah, at work. make sure you post your sliders that you are starting with in your slider thread. i have presentations to give today so i will be unable to play until after work sometime.

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

Well I had dummy sliders with wr catching on 0 and it worked alot.

Is the game any different after the patch bad or good?

[RoyalBoyle78]

Re: NCAA Football 09 Patch #2 Available, Impressions Here

any word on the PS3 patch.

Re: NCAA Football 09 Patch #2 Available, Impressions Here

Is the cpu throwing the ball deeper?

Re: NCAA Football 09 Patch #2 Available, Impressions Here

I'm eager to try it out. Sitting here at work sucks while half of you guys are playing NCAA.

Are zones really improved? I've only seen one comment on it. I don't want my guys hanging out on one side of the field when there's no one over there.

Some of the numbers I'm seeing still look like there are too many INTs but I don't know how you guys have adjusted the INT sliders.

Re: NCAA Football 09 Patch #2 Available, Impressions Here

Do players still run out of bounds when they have a crap load of green in front of them?

I have not seen that once, I only played 1.5 games so far, others may have. It just seems like it happened 3-4 times a game before the patch, and to not see it once, in 1.5 games is at least a good sign.
