NCAA Football 09 PS3 Coverage

Posted July 8th, 2008 at 6:57 pm

CDJ at NCAA Strategies has received a copy of NCAA Football 09 for the PS3 and is working diligently to provide the community with content. Already you can find some quick impressions/reaction, answering of questions, screenshots on EA Sports World, and there will be much more to come.

Head into the Q&A section of the forums there for all the latest coverage. There are separate areas for gameplay, features, online, and misc topics. This is an especially good opportunity for those who are interested in the PS3 version which hasn’t gotten as much prerelease exposure in the past.

FYI: It seems as though the screenshot widget on EASW profile pages does not display. You’ll have to find them instead by going to the main NCAA page or the specific profile photo page.

What other notable differences from last years version and this version. I mean subtle little changes that you wouldn’t notice at first until you play awhile.

It’s not like the PS3 version is any different at all, I don’t see what the big deal is…same exact game, same features, no new info.

Andrew Luck shouldve gone to Purdue, not Stanford. I’m sure Harbaugh was the main reason.

Pasta, do you know if we can edit the roster after we download it from you?….like add players that should be on the game,or change their equipment, and still keep all the named players.

Sweet. Thanks for the update Pasta, I’ m a PS3 owner and I’m hoping to be able to get the rosters in time for my road trip which is the week NCAA comes out.

Hey pasta,

Good postings all around lately, let’s me know what to expect beyond Madden from the EA folks.

Totally off-topic, but I have a college football uniform question that a lot of old friends of mine at Virginia Tech would like an answer to.

Will NCAA 09 have all maroon uniforms for the Hokies as it does the all-whites?

Thanks,

Chris

Hey guys saw this over at ncaastrategies CDJ (PS3 Roster guy) is having MAJOR PROBLEMS editing the roster file. Here is his quote:

“I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but….

Between games & impressions, I started editing rosters with the hopes of enough people getting the game early to where we could pass the file around and get it done by release or close to it since a significant portion would already be completed.

Well, on day one and after editing a few teams, the game would freeze (and even occassionally bump me back out to the XMB) when attempting to accept changes made to a player. This lost me about three teams of work. Since it did not happen again, I felt it was an isolated incident, though I did forward it on to Will at Tiburon.

Since then, I have been backing up every save on my USB drive as well. This added a lot of time, but was worth it – or so I thought.

However, an hour or two ago the problem resurfaced after not happening since Tuesday evening. I was able to use my save file to keep going only for a few moments. Even on the back-up file on the USB drive now, it freezes the game when attempting to save changes to a player. This means that all work done on editing the file has now been lost. (Technically, I can still play games with the roster file, it just cannot be edited further.)

I am attempting to see if EA Tiburon wants me to send down the file so thay can maybe figure out the issue easier that way.

This is something that was probably impossible to catch in testing. I was able to edit three, and then 20+ teams before it hit.

Until then, I recommend people working on PS3 rosters save in several locations after editing each team – perhaps on two USB drives, alternating on each drive after editing each team – until this issue is resolved.

I am hoping this is a local problem (maybe something on my system doesn’t sit well with the roster save) and not widespread, but I am not optimistic after these developments.

If I hear anything, I will post in this thread. Again, I hate to be the bearer of bad news and I am as disappointed as anyone.”

Looks very likely no rosters on the PS3 for at least awhile.

I have both a PS3 and a 360, and was planning on getting this for the 360 anyway (more friends on XBL than on PSN). However, I am sorry to hear CDJ is having all that trouble with the rosters. I’ve named some of my own rosters in the past an it can be frustrating beyond belief when something doesn’t go right.

Hopefully it all works out and those rosters hit at the same time as the release. No true fan should be denied real names / rosters!
