NCAA Football 09 Patch Announcement

I with everyone else is very happy to hear this. I've been lucky and with DT's rosters haven't had any problems yet, but that doesn't mean it won't happen.

Man, that is awful. I had a play similar to that yesterday on a long INT return. I can live with it (this year) if they patch the other problems.

OMT told me that the 2nd Patch would most likely fix gameplay without you having to restart a Dynasty.

Dumb question. Am I SOL if my PS3 isn't hooked up to the Internet so far as getting this patch goes? I am able to download the system updates onto a flash drive and upload them onto my console, but I'm not sure if I'd be able to do that in order to get the NCAA 09 patch. Any help would be appreciated.

hook it up to the internet would be my guess. I don't think their is any other way to do it.

Anyone know when to expect the PS3 patch? After reading this, I'm itching to buy it.

Ok I have a question on the roster issues. Why can't someone at EA create the rosters with "real" names during the last few weeks of development? Now before you flame me I know they can't release the names in the game due to the NCAA rules. But why couldn't one of these EA studio guys then create a generic account and post them in his personal locker? That way we have rosters pretty much as soon as the game is released. That way it just looks like some dude got a hold of an early copy and posted them online to share. I am guessing EA has or can come up with a tool to do the roster editing a lot quicker than some poor smuck sitting at home typing away one player at a time. I am not a techie but I am guessing EA has (or can easily come up with) the capability to just dump an excel file and convert it to a game file or something. Heck that way these roster editors could still do their thing for weeks leading up to release and then just give the Excel file to an EA dude. At any rate my point is I think EA makes this whole roster thing harder than it needs to be. Nothing like websites crashing because people are checking to see if rosters are done every 15 minutes. And for poor PS3 owners like myself are left with our d*cks swinging in the wind waiting to start a dynasty or whatnot because we have no rosters. I know the EA guys are spending some time on the forums here. I hope they read this post and say "hey maybe that is not a bad idea". Heck probably on of the better programmers at the studio can write an Excel to game file convertor in one evening of free time. Or maybe some super geek on this board can do it. I am just saying I bet it can be done.

one of the roster guys got the game early and had them done for release.

I'm in the same situation and would like to know the answer to that as well.
