However, once you hit the team select screen it will load your playbook options from your profile, not from dynasty coaching strategy (this is because this screen is shared amongst game modes). By default, your profile is looking at Team Specific for playbooks. I believe this pulls from the Team database on the disk, not the dynasty database on your memory card. What you might want to do is go My NCAA > My Settings > User > Preferences and set your default playbooks there to what you have in Coach Strategy and you won't have to change them every time.

setting the offensive playbook in coaching strategy works though, the defensive one doesn't.

also, i can not use the New Mexico State playbook unless I'm playing with that team, no matter how i set it in my profile. at the team select screen i can select New Mexico State's playbook for offense, but in-game it will be back to the teams default. its the only playbook i have tried that did this.

My magic 8-ball says "Outlook Not So Good"

You are all familiar with Murphy's Law, right? "Whatever can go wrong will go wrong, and at the worst possible time, in the worst possible way." Well, Murphy seems to be out in full force when it comes to this patch. We got the patch to Sony Friday, they were ready to test it and work overtime during the weekend to test it... and then our test servers went to hell right at the end of the day. Sony was unable to download rosters, preventing them from testing that aspect, so they didn't end up working the weekend. We have people working on the issue now and if we are lucky they will be able to fix it in time for Sony to complete testing tonight (3 hour time difference may pay off).

At the rate things are going, I'm probably going to get hit by a bus on my way in to work after the patch is finally approved

I wonder why Microsoft approved the patch when Sony didn't? I thought the games were identical on both systems, shouldn't the patches be too?

Thanks for the info. At least knowing whats going on makes waiting a little easier.

The reason we bounced was for something specific related to the actual patch package (which differs greatly between consoles), not a difference in the code.

As a side note, my Magic 8-Ball has upgraded the status of recieving the patch tonight to "Ask again later"

hopefully the 8-Ball has a new upgrade. What was this console specific thing? Or are you going to hold off on telling us until the patch drops?

I'm not sure it would be a good idea for us to disclose that. While we can talk about just about anything here, this comes very close to one of those things we just can't disclose publically. We can talk about the game and what goes on here, but we cannot talk about our partners and our competitors.

I think we have entered into a grey area here and it is best to play it safe. Sorry guys.

Well, thanks for keeping us in the loop. Hang in there PS3 guys!!!! At least its not patch 2 that you are waiting on (not that it makes it any better)
