If your 360 is connected online,just fire the game up and you will be prompted to update.If your 360 isn't connected,you are SOL;there is no other way to apply the patch.

That's strange. I'm getting a ton of pressure now every game that I play. I actually had 6 sacks in my game last night. I was WVU playing against Louisville. I think that's the most I've gotten in a game this season. What level are you playing on and what sliders are you using? I'm playing on AA, with minimal slider adjustments.

Are you saying you are seeing more pressure than before without having to make slider adjustments? After Adam said they never addressed the pass rush issue, I was assuming any improvement was due solely to working sliders. I'm sure I will get to see for myself before Christmas and the second NCAA patch.

Yes. Once I got the 2nd patch, I put all sliders back at default and was going to adjust from there. I can't remember what I have them at now, but I'm almost positive that the only thing I've done is increase Run Blocking Ability for the cpu, decrease Interceptions & WR Catch for both.

I only played one game with pass block at 0 for both, and I feel ya.

It was the only game I've ever played where neither I or the CPU had a sack. We both had all day to throw.

I have to play more games to have an opinion, but I saw the exact same things as pre patch.

I do not have my 360 conected to the net.
If I take my game to someone who does can I get the patch to my game using their 360.
Does the patch download to your game disk or your 360?

Re: NCAA 09 Patch #2 Available for 360 Only, Impressions Here

Can't save to you disk.

Bring your entire system and run the game while connected at their house. Download the patch and you will be set.

Try it at default. I know you think that sounds crazy but the game plays much better, after the patch, with the sliders close to default. Drastically altering the sliders results in worse gameplay for me and even more unrealistic stats.

Yeah, I should have mentioned that my pass block sliders are set to 0 as well. Pass rush still looks very broken, IMO. Others may disagree.

NCAA 09 for 360 is one solid game of football now that patch2 is out .. very very nice feel to the game now and those nasty running out of bounce while plenty of upfield room to run are a thing of the past now for all of us..both human and cpu players..yeeeeees!! Now if madden09 gets that fixed and a few other glarring issues..you cant lose with NCAA09 or Madden09 honestly.. sure i expect alot more presentation and atmosphere but these patches really seem to be the answer, instead of having to wait another year for hopes of a solid playing game..we can now have that after a game releases thanks to the patching abiiity with current gen consoles.

NCAA post patch2 is remarkable ..it really is. I just played a game.. and my D line had 3 sacks, unlike before i can get some pass rush going on now with minimal tweaking. Sliders seem to have a more pronounce effect too.

I might just run with NCAA09 until patch 2 and DLC for Madden09 comes out..this is a very well polished game after patch2..wow

I don't think its a mistake with the patch. It seems like EA has created the game for 360 and made adjustments to allow it to be played on PS3. That would explain why the patch is announced and only comes out for 360 and we have to wait for PS3 due to complications. They didn't say a 360 patch and a PS3 patch, they said patch 1 and 2 because they assumes it would work for both. It seems like they didn't look into the systems indivually. It is bad enough these patches were needed. They released an incomplete product or the testers did not do their job.
The release should have been postponed a month instead of sending out patches that don't work on all systems. Do you think NFL has a clause in the contract allowing them to release the rights to other companies in this instance? I'll bet they do. Finally, EA should be making amends with PS3 players. EA dropped the ball and did not address the system. A voucher of some kind should be sent to PS3 users of this game for a reasonable percentage off of Madden.

My goodness,

While this would never happen, I dont see what is so funny to you. PS3 has gotten the shaft on graphics(when its capable of 1080p like the 360), the shaft on this patch business, the shaft on other little things in general when dealing with EA. It's easy to not care when you have a 360....I had one for 2 years and could've given two cents of concern for the PS3.
