So does the zone plays work now and the your defensive players cover the middle of the field?

Re: NCAA Football 09 Patch #2 Available, Impressions Here
Good question. There are some cool zone blitzes but I can't use them because man is the only real effective defense.They call me "The Manual"Comment

Re: NCAA Football 09 Patch #2 Available, Impressions Here
OMTWe actually removed this from the patch notes (though nobody told me!) because it is kind of misleading. However, the previous patch notes had already been made public to the community.
What the patch did was to prepare the game client side (the retail game on your console) for the feature to work. The EA Sports World side of this feature is still under development.
It will be a few weeks before it is available on EA Sports World.
Sorry about the confusion.

Re: NCAA Football 09 Patch #2 Available, Impressions Here
On the issue of pass rush, I have actually found a way to get a an effective pass rush on the cpu.
Calling blitz plays and then defense adjustment to 'show blitz' y-left will somehow get my dline in on the qb much faster. I am vanderbilty in a dynasty with 70ish rated dline and have been averaging 6-9 sacks the past few games with this method. My first few seasons I may have gotten 18-20 sacks all season. that coupled with jump snaps will get you in there.
I think EA didnt mess with the pass rush as couple with this, the jump snap, and sliders, pass rush couldve been too strong.Comment

Re: NCAA Football 09 Patch #2 Available, Impressions Here
The kicking game seems different too. It seems like every time I kickoff, I kick it past the goal posts giving a touchback. But when I kick field goals, the accuracy and distance is not as accurate. I've been using the same kickers since patch 1 and it has become harder to kick field goals all of a sudden.Comment

Re: Downloaded patch 2 and my game keeps freezing
This happened to me too at first, dunno what it was, but I froze 3 or 4 times in the menus and twice trying to load a dynasty game. I ended up playing for a few hours afterwards without any freezes, so I'm not sure what the problem was (it happened to me in various menus ... sliders, rosters, file management)Comment

Re: NCAA Football 09 Patch #2 Available, Impressions Here
Game plays very well now, even though I'm still working on sliders. While the patch didn't fix every problem, it at least made the gameplay fun and workable. To me, NCAA basically leap frogged Madden - even if Madden's gameplay is still slightly better, the entire package of NCAA is great now. Returning Madden tonight, sticking with NCAA this year.
Thanks for actually patching, many games live eternally with terrible release bugs/issues.Comment

Re: NCAA Football 09 Patch #2 Available, Impressions Here
I was playing on default AA sliders and I also use the "show blitz" and I had 4 sacks in one half on 5 min qtrs! I turned it off after that cuz I was just testing out the new patch, but I am lookin forward to starting my dynasty finally. And to think I was about to get rid of this gameOn the issue of pass rush, I have actually found a way to get a an effective pass rush on the cpu.
