Then minor bugs or balance tweaks will be fixed in the next couple patches as they are found. They usually do not (a) introduce NEW gamebreaking glitches, (b) leave broken parts of the game everyone complains about intact(i.e. psychic cpu). Usually with a (good) PC game the game is at least 95% perfect by the second patch.

If most PC games have nearly all the big issues fixed before release, then why do most have a day 1 patch? and then still have many issues? and FWIW, some PC patches usually end up being bigger fixing more things than console games typically.

I'm not sure how the NCAA patches are different than PC patches. they both are fixing and/or tuning the game in an attempt to make it "better".

also, if your going to include psychic DB as "broken", then there are a lot of "broken" PC games out there. I would comment about the random 95% perfect stat, but it's no use.
