yeah not hearing anything could be good or bad, no news is good news. Gotta think if there was a problem or anything, we would have been informed. Sony must be taking their sweet time...

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

The main thing I'm looking to get is the game to give me a challenge when it should. If I'm going against a great run team I should have to focus on that to succeed. I love going into a game that I know will be a struggle and it turns out that way. If you consistantly win even vs top teams it takes a LOT away from the "upset" games and the general fun of the game. At least for me it does.

I want to take a mediocre team and go 7-6 or take FSU and go 9-3 first year. I dont want to walk all over everyone, thats not fun. I dont enjoy winning 3 straight national titles. I want a challenge, especially year one.

Downloaded patch 2 and my game keeps freezing

I just download patch 2. I have tried to change the sliders 3 times in a row and each time the game freezes after I change them. Is there a way to re-download the patch?

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

ive been keeping up with this thread as well as i can, but still seems to me that the ultimate question is yet to be answered.

"Must the Dynasty already in progress be restarted?" I know there has been a "you shouldn't have to."

Can we confirm this at this time?

Re: Downloaded patch 2 and my game keeps freezing

It just froze again. That's four in a row. If I touch the sliders the game freezes. This sucks.

With a lower ranked team, a few slider changes here and there to boost the cpu depending on skill level, and some simple don't cheese the cpu with you favorite money plays over and over, you may get that now.

Playing against TCU right now (a game I shouldn't win 8 or 9 times out of 10) and they actually just threw a 40 yard (in the air) td strike. I was in cover 2 and had the underneath stuff covered and the cpu therw it to the corner where he had one one coverage with my SS. CPU TD.

Clear your hard drive's cache and download again.

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

I gotta believe they juiced up the int slider finally. 0 int finally feels something closer to 0 int.

I don't think it gets any better than that stat wise. The cpu's one pick was late in the game when they were airing it out to make a come back. There were at least 3 or 4 other cpu throws that I thought for sure were going to be picked but were dropped or batted down.

Excellent news. Maybe the INT slider effect was amplified like it was in the Madden patch. Great news either way! Thanks mudtiger.

Hey guys, I don't mean to rain on your parade but I'm not 100% sure that all of the sliders are as effective as they should be. I played three games last night after the patch and I SET HUMAN AT 100 FOR EVERYTHING AND COMPUTER AT ZERO FOR EVERYTHING.

Observations: the good
1. Cpu QB throws were weak and often short
2. Cpu did drop SOME passes
3. My DB's were absollute ball hawks
4. RB's didn't run out of bounds on slant plays
5. Chop blocks don't seem to be as frequent

Observations: the bad
1. I had ONE sack in three games (AA mode)
2. My offensive line gave up eight sacks (4 in one game)
3. The long ball was pretty much a non factor
4. CPU DB's still have eyes in back of their heads
5. I threw 5 picks in three games (every play was a pass though)
6. STILL WAY TOO MANY DB KNOCKDOWNS!!!

Observations: areas to continue to work on for 2010
1. No major difference in special teams.... maybe 2-3 yards less
2. Int frequency/quick six still a little to frequent
3. Lack of CPU running game... if they struggle they stop running
4. Field degredation still not there

I appluad EA for getting these patches out quickly and efficiently. There is some more work to do but these sliders do make the game more enjoyable for the most part. Here is my question though... does the knockdown slider only refer to the defnesive line because the CPU DL has had no knockdowns in 3 games but the CPU DB's still hit away everything, especially long balls?

Where exactly on EA Sports World do you find your online dynasty?

I can't find it anywhere.
