NCAA 09 Patch #2 Available --- Impressions Here

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

Not so fast sweetheart. In your effort to get a good pass rush you have succeeded but our now killing the cpu running game. The cpu running game needs a boost. I suggest putting cpu pass block at 0 and run block at 100 and put your break block closer to the middle to help them out. You may find you need to go lower yet in addition to really boosting the cpu RBA.

Is that the coach lee corso in the hizzouse?

Very glad to read the remarks about the game post patch #2. Been following what all have been saying, but even before the patch, though NCAA played leeps and bounds better then Madden and provided better atmosphere. Can't wait to start these up.

Been playing on AA since I got the game, anyone want to post, post patch #2 sliders that they are seeing great gameplay on? Much appreciated.

How do you know?

You don't know what I have the CPU run game set at.

FYI...My CPU Run block is at 100 and CPU RBA is at 60. So it evens out.

Anyone noticed any differences in the way the defenders cover the middle?

Yes. Yes they can cover the middle now.

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

Can the CPU run a screen pass without getting sacked everytime now?

Maybe its a coincidence but I saw the CPU throw the ball away on a screen that was covered instead of taking a sack.

No way. I need video evidence. LOL.

C'mon Sony! The PS3 patch better be out by tonight so I can play...or else (I won't be able to play it with patch #2).


Oh, and I'm happy to see that AuburnAlumni is much more pleasant to be around on the boards now that the patch is out. LOL

This is on All American.

This is what a dominant front four should do. Bring pressure and force the QB to make a mistake.

Check out both of my Defensive Ends not get in that "suction" mode and instead, run full steam for the QB. I wept when I saw this.

The pancakes aren't gone completely, but as you can see...it's much improved.

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

ALRIGHT!!!! I had my first game with 2 sacks by my DE!!!!! I also had 3 picks (a little high) but it was pressure sacks, and one off of a deflection. The dline GETTING PRESSURE causing the QB to hurry his throw and they were lame duck passes!!! Great stuff. Now all i need is sliders b/c it is still too easy to score. AuburnAlumni, can you post your sliders that you are playing with. Thanks.

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

Thank god AA is happy. OS is now a better place.

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

AA, how do you deal with the CPU horrible play calling on offense and defense. I realize there is nothing at all that we can do about the CPU constantly running QB option with a super slow guy but how do you handle all the CPU DB blitzing that leaves WRs all alone for TDs or massive gains? The CPU runs these constantly and virtually any pass (other then PA) works for huge gains?

This is my #1 issue with this game right now as I don't know how to not score against all these blitzes without limiting my offensive player to B+ (that way close to LB) speeds.

Ummmmmmmm, I don't think so. Hopefully you get a used one.

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

AA, keep the impressions coming. If you have positive things to say about pass rush, then something must be different. I just want the game to play more like football and less like a bunch of friends in the backyard.

ANy comment on punt returns?
