Re: Patch (PS3) already available 5:10AM EST

GREAT NEWS!

It's still a mess, I started a dynasty and the Top 141 recruits in the country were 5-stars. IRL there are 25-35.

The authentic schedule is nice, if your team plays in a preseason tournament that isn't in NCAA09 then you simply aren't given any games to represent that. The UConn dynasty I just started does not have the Paradise Jam or any other tournament. Other than that UConn's schedule is spot on.

Classic team editing is nice, only gripe is that you cannot have an undershirt of any kind, that option is grayed out and I have no idea why.

I played 10 minutes of a game and the post play seemed a little better, the CPU was sharper but nothing too noticeable after only 10 minutes. My full court press didn't trap quite as often but I didn't see a huge difference there either.

How many of those 5-star recruits sign with smaller programs though?

Oh well....

Do you mind checking JU's schedule? I am curious as to how they handled Atlantic Sun teams since half the conference wasn't included in the game....are there just some random schools thrown in there in the middle of conference play? Here is there real schedule:

Re: Patch (PS3) already available 5:10AM EST

Can someone check UF and KU's schedule and see who they replaced FGCU with?

Re: Patch (PS3) already available 5:10AM EST

I downloaded early this morning and the polls seemed to be a little more realstic. However, the statistical sim engine is still fairly off. Again, the problem is too many scrubs on the bench getting playing time. There wasn't a single player in the nation that averaged more than 30 minutes a game. Very unrealistic. This is pretty much my only major gripe with the game at this point.

EA please fix this with the next patch.

Thanks for the first one though!
