you wont.

My guess is the decision has already been made that the gameplay issues that this community has pointed out will not be patched, they'll do everything but that.

Then next year it will be "Ncaa 2010...Hardcore Defense is back"

If they fixed the sliders and NOTHING else I'd be happy and call it a day.

I have a feeling you are spot on.

Auburn and all the guys taking the time to educate people with whats wrong with the OL/DL...I you(Im too lazy to)


Having read and paid attention to most of what Ian has been saying since he got here....It just baffles me that they got it this much worse then even last year.(Still have a good feeling about Madden 09 though)

And whats depressing about this...is that for yet another year we have to worry about them fixing the core instead of expanding it to new realms of what was supposed to be "Next Gen"

Anywho sorry I got off topic and am glad they seem to be responding somewhat faster with these fixes. Hopefully this avalanche of bugs will shake some things up down there and from now on it'll only get better from here on out

Last I heard was that it was submitted for approval and will be out in 5-10 days.

Bingo!!!..Like I stated earlier the firestorm regarding NCAA will disappear when Madden comes out ...which will in turn take the heat off OMT at least in these threads..They had to do that first patch because it was a major bug that was destroyng the game..With madden coming out the priority for a patch goes way way down...Ea did a good job again this year with the hype, spin, and marketing and the reps on this board are part of that like it or not..The gameplay issue will not be adressed at least to the extent that we want it because it's a wide open gameplay year.. I predict that the kickoff and punt issues will get fixed because thats noticeable even to casual gamers..But the lack of pass rush, speed cheats, etc will not be addressed it goes against EA offensive philosophy(OMT knows that ) ...it's been alluded to already...I rsepect him for being on these boards but after all he is a rep for a game that is being sold to the public...He should be doing what he is doing...

Exclusive deals mean you don't have to try to outdo anyone. They suck 110% and it shows.

Thats the first patch (roster patch), we are discussing the 2nd patch.

I get that its a business decision, but id at least like to hear straight from EA, "we arent fixing issue X,Y,Z because we dont want to, this is how we want the game." That would be enough to trade the game in and not buy 2010, seriously. Ive never missed an NCAA or Madden since i can remember (at least 02, but thats bc i have that game box right here), but if they come out to say that, ill be long gone. I dont boycott things, or encourage others to, but that would speak volumes to me.

I understand they have to test the issues and see whats going on, and they dont want to tell us something and not be able to deliver, but we've heard on the roster patch, weve heard about the online dynasty, weve heard about sliders and kick returns, but not a PEEP about the defensive issues (speed, DL, blitzes, angles, yellow zones). I would just like something to say "We estimate it to be out on this day, and that could change, and it will address these issues currently, and we are looking at throwing these in there too". Is that possible? Probably not bc it does expose them to some risk (im being serious). But still, the lack of acknowledgement on the 10-12 posts i made today (long ones too) and AA made on defensive issues has me a little peeved.

Again, not an EA hater, i think my posts show that, just a consumer trying to get some answers.
