NCAA Football 09 Has a Shitload of Problems Bugs

ncaa football Watermark image
Message boards and forums are livid at EA and NCAA Football 09, whose problems apparently go well beyond EA Locker corrupting the roster files. AOL Fanhouse went through the boards and made a full accounting, and it's grim. Sliders are borked. The CPU sliders do nothing. Human sliders affect both CPU and human. Level playing field! Online dynasty mode is borked. It sometimes simulates games that have been played by humans. Super-sim is borked: Using it to fast-forward through a blowout can add many more plays than would actually happen in the football game, and produce extremely lopsided final scores. Kick returns are borked. The new player speed model is causing huge problems with pursuit angles by CPU-controlled players. I have the game but I have not played it intensively enough to discover these issues. But if these issues are on the level and, worse, if some gameplay mechanics are not patchable, then it's an almost unforgivable shame.

I played a couple of games in the "play now" and everything seemed fine, so for the casual the bugs wont jew your experience,
but for the hardcore w/ the features of naming rosters and online leagues, that could break the game for some.

I have the game and played through a single season of on-line dynasty. The issues are have with the dynasty or minor, but for hard core gamers, they are big.

All dynasty trophies earned in online dynasty will go to your shrine, but not rival trophies.

Any records that you break will not be reflected in the records section, unless you are the commissioner of the dynasty.

The commisioner can sim ever game, if they choose too. I believe that there should be a time limit set to when the other players need to play there game or they will be set to CPU.

The off season is really dragged out.

Game issues - The run animation is horrible, the recievers/half backs do not have a stride in their step. It looks like one step is equal to 1 yard.

I have it too. it seems that the skill positions never to n e thing in stride. they always stop. defense is hard and special teams are way too easy. i take one to the house almost every game and im on Heisman. plus what i like to call the madden factor where no matter what is happenin if you aer winning in the 4th Qtr the game WILL screw you.

I hope they come out with a patch for this A.S.A.P. I bought the game when it first came out and haven't seen and major problems, but knowing they there are some makes me kinda wish I had spent my $60 elsewhere.

I have decided not to continue with my Dynasty and only play the Campus Legend right now. There are rumors that once a patch is released; any current EA Locker rosters will not work.

I consider myself a hardish core NCAA player and the issues arent too big as of yet. On the flip side its still 1million times better than the 07 version, that game was G-A-R-B-A-G-E.

I would just like to say that last night while playing Auburn i threw a pass and the CB went quite literally THROUGH my receiver to pick off the pass and take it back for 6. 20 secs into the game..................i threw the sticks and shut it off. i havent been so irate in a while.
