NCAA Football 09 Patch Announcement

[moose1619]

I tell you one thing really frustrating me in this game is the amount of time you have after you call a time out. I mean if I am on Defense and call a timeout, I really want time to think about my call, instead I get 12 seconds, come on this needs to be adjusted big time. Even when I am on Offense I want a little more time to think about my call but I only get 25-30 seconds. At least give us 1 minute and 30 seconds like in real life. Not a game killer but could sure be implemented better.

You only get a 25 second play clock in real life, but I do agree the 12 seconds seems to go really fast, and online it's a little hard to pick the play you want on Defense.

I guess this will be my official plea to move the problems with the kicking game to the top of the muy importante list to fix.

I posted this in another thread. Check out the angle number 33 has on Ray Small from OSU on this punt return. He could at least knock him out of bounds. Instead he just escorts him into the end zone.

Maybe you should lay of the drinks and reread my post. When you call a timeout in real life you have ample time to discuss a play. In the game you don't get any extra time. IT is especially true on Defense when you may want to spend extra time on a play but you only get 12 seconds.
This comes straight from the NCAA rulebook.
Length of Timeouts
ARTICLE 7. a. A charged team timeout requested by any player or head
coach shall not exceed one minute, 30 seconds (Exception: Rule 3-3-4-
e-3).
b. For live televised games only, a charged team timeout shall be 30
seconds plus the 25-second play clock interval.
c. Any charged team timeout shall be 30 seconds in duration upon a visual
signal of the hands touching the shoulders, made by the head coach of the
team requesting the timeout. The signal must be made promptly after the
timeout is requested.
d. Other timeouts shall be not longer than the referee deems necessary to fulfill
the purpose for which they are declared, including a radio or TV timeout,
but any timeout may be extended by the referee for the benefit of an injured
player (Refer to Appendix A for the guidelines for game officials to use
during a serious on-field player injury).
e. If the team charged with a one-minute, 30-second team timeout wishes to
resume play before the expiration of one minute and its opponent indicates
readiness, the referee will declare the ball ready for play.
f. The length of a referee’s timeout depends on the circumstances of each
timeout.
g. The field captain must exercise his penalty option before he or a teammate
consults with his coach on a sideline during a timeout.
h. The intermission after a safety, try or successful field goal shall be not more
than one minute. It may be extended for radio or television.

Can you understand this?

Wow, that was quick. I'm beginning to like EA again, I hated the fact that EA never upgraded their PC games and now discontinued them but all is good now. Great work!!!

Good news overall. I may rent the game after the patch and FK's rosters. Looking forward to checking it out.

A new day at EA.
