Re: NFL Head Coach 09 Patch Details

Just added another fix.

You can now negotiate new contracts with your players and it counts their old salary as available cap room.

This is very nice. I've had a few players that I've had to Franchise, or let go to Free Agency and then sign back again, instead of just being able to re-up them during the regular season.

For the love of Pete please tell me this thing is close to being sent off for verification...I can't stand not starting my Franchise...I've spent the last few days trying to plan my draft, and I just want to do it for real already!

Great game!

Has their been any progress made on the PS3 Patch? My new 80GB unit just locked up for the third time and I am done ... Latest was entering 2:00 minute warning in game 1 of the season -- I think I have blown about 40 hours with all these lockups.. Please tell me the calvary is coming?

Re: NFL Head Coach 09 Patch Details

yeah, I was afraid I'd have to start again. Can't wait 'till the patch.

Re: NFL Head Coach 09 Patch Details

I can't change anything in the offseason rosters or for upcoming rookies in the roster update.

I can change potential for any player that is in the preseason rosters.

I've even dropped a couple who have been more disappointing than expected so far.

bummer about the first part but thanks for the info!

Re: NFL Head Coach 09 Patch Details

I have never seen an answer to the question of whether these fixes will work on existing franchises, or if we will need to start over.

I am afraid the answer is not the one we are looking for.

Yes. All of the things we are fixing should take effect in your saved careers. You should be able to enter Play Creator, save on a Tuesday, run the no-huddle offense, etc., with no ill effects.

Josh

Have you adjusted the special teams so the QB's are not out on the coverage units?

Thanks

Re: NFL Head Coach 09 Patch Details

Please make sliders more effective if at all possible. I believe this game screams for more user tuning. It would take tons of pressure off of of you guys (devs) if we were able to better craft what realism means to each of us. Thanks for all the other fixes too btw.

Re: NFL Head Coach 09 Patch Details

Just out of curiosity when you say you are fixing the trading would you be also be giving more time to negotiate a trade? I think you should be able to trade for the whole time you have left in that selection to make your pick. 1:30 seconds or whatever it is not nearly enough time to negotiate especially if you have a bunch of teams interested.

Re: NFL Head Coach 09 Patch Details

You guys rule!

Is there anyway you could PLEASE fix the fat players, get rid of the dark visors on QB's and rid the game of the hideous 20 inch revolution face masks that look like little league baseball facemasks, the ones that most of the great rookies in the game wear like Morrow and English.

I know these are not as important as the game crashes but to me these details are a big deal and take away from the realism of this amazing game.

Thanks!

Re: NFL Head Coach 09 Patch Details

We've been able to reproduce this thanks to some help from the OS community.

The good news is that we can definitely fix the problem. You should be able to resume your save file once you download the patch.

The bad news is that there's no real workaround at this point, so you'll have to play another career until then.

I apologize for this issue. It sucks.

Thats fine, as long as the problem is fixed and I can continue my career eventually I'm ok with it.

Re: NFL Head Coach 09 Patch Details

I am curious on if there is any plans to patch the gameday sounds? For the most part, the game is very good, but the actual games leave a lot to be desired.

I think making players sounds more audible (both the sound of player audibles -- which is often too low to hear -- and the sound of the actual play -- big hits and stuff) and increasing the sound of the PA so that the game sounds like a real game. This would also allow us to know what the heck just happened without having to wait for the ticker to tell us (especially when in a more distant camera mode).

Being able to hear the sound of a real game would be awesome and I think it would enhance the coach chatter -- right now, the coach chatter is just annoying mainly because I know that it is the main reason why the other sounds are turned down or off. If I could hear the game, and the PA, and the coach chatter -- well, then I'd feel like a real head coach.

Re: NFL Head Coach 09 Patch Details

100% on the "in game experience" - Sounds would certainly help. As is you just seem somewhat abstracted from the game experience - sounds, announcers (at least PA), and other elements would make much more immersive..!
