EA Unleashes NCAA '09 Patch, Fixes Lots of Problems

by Eric Bush

The list of what was fixed is a doozy, but hopefully it puts an end to the shamefully embarrassing problems that plagued the release of NCAA Football 09 — nearly a month after its release.

College football fans have a certain level of passion that you don't see in other college sports and prove it annually by cracking the bank for EA's NCAA Football game. Having been promised the best version the series has ever seen (as sports gamers are told every year), NCAA Football 09 buyers were confronted by a pile of errors and glitches from day one. Today, EA Sports has released an auto-update patch for the football franchise that promises to fix many of the issues found in the game. A list of patch fixes can be found after jump.

Online:

  • Ability to view your Online Dynasty HQ through EA Sports World
  • Improved online performance

Dynasty:

  • Fixed a couple recruiting exploits
  • Faster simming between weeks
  • Custom Stadium Sounds
  • The "All" option will now only work when the user is the home team

Gameplay:

  • Improved coverage on kicks
  • Hook Zones depth keeps defenders in their zones
  • Fixed an issue with the Strafe Catch
  • Allow fumbles to occur when diving
  • WR screen routes improved

Bug Fixes:

  • Sliders will now work correctly
  • An issue with missing stats after simming has been fixed
  • Ball carrier will no longer run out of bounds when changing hands and heading towards the sidelines
  • Fixed an exploit that allowed the slot receiver to burn the safeties in a prevent defense
  • Fixed a bug where the the ball would hit the cross bar, drop through, and not be counted
  • Fixed a bug that would prevent Hot Routes from working

I don't know if anyone else noticed this but I never see the number of pauses allowed disappear when playing online. I don't know if that is my number of pauses or my opponents, but if that is the case then that is annoying. I really hope the lag is fixed too. Its annoying having to time your kicks a second before you need to to get a full kick.
