The insane amount of arm tackles needs to go. Also the trying to catch a greased pig animation needs to go. Feels very, very cheap.

Re: Now that the 2nd patch is out...

My experience last nite, was that it felt like a completely different game.

A bit upset that I beat mizzou, since they were #5 in the nation and my Huskers aren't ranked, but I did pick them off 3 times so maybe it was a HOA type of thing.

Overall, I'm excited for this game, and what it has to offer.

No online access with PS3 for patch 2

When patch number 2 comes out is there any way that i can get it? Or does someone have to post a roster file after the patch comes out

I could never go back to the lat gen NCAA games, but whatever floats your boat.


Agreed 110%. I haven't even felt my annual urge to go out and buy madden this year. I am having the most fun I ever had with an NCAA game in my Over 30 Club Online Dynasty....and that is before patch #2. Now that the patch is out, it will get even better!

Agreed. This is absurd.

Re: NCAA Football 09 Patch #2 Available, Impressions Here

I've only played 1 game with the 2nd patch, but I'll post my results and impressions below:

I played on AA, all sliders and penalties at default except for Interceptions (0 for both) and Catching (35 for both) and Run Blocking at 70 for the cpu. I used WVU and played at Nebraska. I led 6-3 at the end of the 1st Qtr and saw some decent stats. In the 2nd Qtr the scoring definitely picked up. I had a 90 run with Devine to cap the 2nd Qtr scoring and led at the half 20-17. At the end of the 3rd, I led 31-17 and saw my 1st pick of the game as Nebraska's QB (can't remember his name) attempted a 40 yard pass into double coverage. The good thing was that I only had a 10 yard return before being gang tackled by about 3 or 4 Huskers. I've seen way too many intereceptions returned for td's before the patch so I hope this has changed now. In the 4th, we both scored 2 more td's, my last one coming on a 40 yard scramble with White on a 3rd and 4 play. Final score...WVU 45 - Nebraska 31.

Even though some serious yardage was put up and the score seemed pretty high, I did notice some definite positive changes in gameplay. The cpu QB attempted at least 5 passes of 30+ yards or more (completing only 1, a 50 yarder to the Tight End down the middle, but at least they tried to go deep more than usual). I also only saw 2 interceptions, 1 by me and 1 by the cpu. Mine was my mistake. I accidentally hit the wrong button and threw to my FB that was blanketed by a LB. As I get older, I notice my hand - eye coordination isn't what it used to be. LOL I also saw the cpu overthrow a few open receivers. On one occasion he actually threw at the feet of the HB on a slip screen, which I had never seen before. Still saw way too many underneath "safe" passes but did see more incomplete passes.

The longest punt return that I saw was a 35 yarder by Devine, of course it is Devine so that's acceptable. For the most part kick and punt returns were held in check. I think I had 1 return to the 40 and the rest were anywhere from the 25 to 30 yard line. The cpu had 1 return to the 35 and the rest were 30 yard line or less. I only saw the cpu attempt to run the option once. I'm used to seeing it 5 or 6 times per game at least. I managed 4 sacks and the cpu had 2. I noticed both defensive lines getting much more pressure than before and I actually flushed the QB out of the pocket on a few occasions.

Of course, the cpu didn't run the ball enough in my opinion. I think they had 18 carries for 68 yards. During a drive in the 3rd Qtr, they actually ran 3 straight times for about 25 yards total but then went back to the passing game. I do think that I would have given up at least 100 yards rushing if they had ran maybe 10 more times, which was encouraging to see. For me Devine had 24 carries for 210 yards (including a 90 yarder) and White had 12 carries for 84 yards. I completed 18 of 25 passes for 270 yards with 1 Int. The cpu completed 27 of 38 passes for 390 yards and 1 Int.

Overall I was pleased with the changes I saw in gameplay. The score and yardage were still pretty high but WVU does put points on the board and Nebraska's defense wasn't that good last season. I'm anxious to try more games over the weekend to get a better feel for the patch. I did walk away from my game last night with a much better feeling about the game than I had a few days ago and think that with some minor slider adjustments, this game might actually keep me away from the PS2 version more than I thought it would.

Wait, I thought some uniforms were going to be updated in this patch?

No still feels to easy. Unfortunately football isn't king anymore feeling a lot more excited about the hockey, basketball and soccer games coming out. Head Coach is good though.

Try dropping the tackle slider if you want to see guys break them more often. I don't think there are enough broken tackles on default AA.
