  • Monday is the day for big EA Sports feature announcements for NBA Live 09, NHL 09, and FIFA 09. The press conference begins at 3pt/6et and can be watched via live streaming on G4TV. Check here afterwards for analysis and further details on the NBA Live feature.
  • The actual E3 event begins on Tuesday. Games such as Madden 09, Facebreaker, NBA Live 09, NBA 2K9, and NHL 2K9 will be on display. Media, impressions, and further details can be expected to come out of that. Operation Sports has a representative on hand with updates coming live throughout each day. This includes a live blog in which you’ll be able to interact with Chase from OS as news breaks from the EA press conference.
  • Despite the official release of NCAA Football 09 not being until Tuesday some major problems with the game are already being reported. There seem to be issues with the game freezing on both the PS3 and 360 in various situations such as dynasty mode and editing areas and teams disappearing from the play now screen. EA has informed the community they are investigating the reported issues.
  • SportsGamer has the entire list of ratings for all teams in NCAA Football 09 here.
  • The 360 achievements for NFL Head Coach 09 have made their way out and can be found here.

    Everyone leave Pasta alone. He is a war hero and I fully respect all that he has done for our online community.

    [quote comment="28660"]Everyone needs to stop complaining. Just play the game without the rosters if you are worried about freezing and you will be fine. Its funny how people have had a copy for almost a month and has given it nothing but praise, but when the game is set to release all these problems arise. No one finds any coincidence in that? This is the same game that all these sites have been raving about!!! Stop complaining and trying to bash EA jus cause. This will be the best NCAA yet.[/quote]

    thats not easy to say dont play without the rosters c'mon now every players exact name for free and you expect these people to pass on that trust me anyone who knows that these rosters are free is gonna be going after them first as soon as they get their hands on it

    I need an answer Pasta because the EA press conference that you said starts at 3 starts in less than half an hour.
  • david
    Hey Pasta, Why dont you answer the question about where you got your rosters from? I see many have asked and you have yet to answer.
  • BigOrange64
    what does patch mean?

    Please provide a link where they are "calling him out" I would like to read it. Thanks!
  • gunner
    [quote comment="28621"]Ok, so let's say he got them from EA, don't you think they would have put a hush on him if he did. I mean it's not like he's going to bite the hand that feeds him. AND...it's STILL not his fault.[/quote]
    If EA give him the code, then they just broke the contracutal agreement with the NCAA Union Body, which prohibits student / athletes from being name in any game.
    I understand that he is not going to rat out EA, for giving him the name code, but at least tell us how to fix our game so we can have our missing teams back.

    Dont go silent on your fan base...especially when other creditable sources (Fairdale, NCAAStrategies) are calling you out to make a statement regarding how to fix our problem
  • BigOrange64
    pasta, what does it mean when they patch?

    [quote comment="28611"]It's on both xbox and PS3, people are still trying to twist it lol[/quote]

    Thats cool man...I am just saying, I haven't had it happen to me and I am using Pasta's roster. I have a 360....and cant understand what "freezing" everyone is talking about.
  • gunner
    [quote comment="28555"]I'm always baffled at the amount of people who are so peeved at what I consider small things. Honestly, I'm disappointed to hear these things, but seriously folks, it WILL be ok. If you don't want to spend the money, then don't spend it. If you spend your money then wait for the patch.

    This is NOT Pasta's fault and those of you who are whining, should spend the time to make your own rosters and shut up. This guy took time out of his life to do something for us for FREE. That Brian Kaldenwhatever guy was charging $40 for the game which is 66% of the actual price. That's friggin' robbery, so whatever help Pasta can give us is much appreciated.

    Go back to complaining about refs not being on the field, create-a-team, D-1AA (they'll always be that for me) and other things. I for one hope they fixed the ridiculous play calling in Campus Legend.[/quote]

    Pasta didnt create these names. It was already confirmed on Operation Sports by Fairedale and NCAAstrategies that he got a roster code from EA and they were automatically downloaded. That's why the rosters are freezing because the code that created the names went past the 11 character max limit.
  • gunner
    Pasta, what happened with the NCAA roster file? We are your loyal fan base who frequent your site, but yet you are ignoring us after telling us to download the NCAA Rosters from your gamertag.

    How can we trust you, if you know that this NCAA roster file is causing our 360’s to freeze (confirmed by Fairdale and NCAAStragies to be your file which is causing the error) but you are not responding to anyone about this subject.

    Come on man, just tell us how to fix our NCAA game? Dont go into hiding, it doesnt make you look very credible.

    I haven't picked up a copy of the game yet, (I don't have any inside hook-ups!) but from what I've heard there are some potential "Game Killers" in the form of bugs or freeze ups. I can't imagine getting a few years into a Dynasty (online or not) and having it freeze up or bug out. That would not only cause me to not play the game, but I'd probably break my flat screen TV with my controller as well!! I just hope these problems aren't "Game Killers" but rather just issues that can be avoided or at least tolerated.

    Pasta, I haven't heard from you on this topic. I know you're busy, but could you throw us a bone here and at least give us some hope? False or not!! LOL. But seriously, the game comes out in 12 hours....What problems can we expect to deal with?
  • twistanutz22
    You DO NOT have to be someone's friend to access their EA Locker. You just goto the "Online" menu in the game and go down to EA Locker. Once in, just input the name of the Locker you wish to access. In this case it's "Pastapadre".
  • bmalia14
    Do you have to be Pasta's friend online in order to access his locker to get the rosters? If not, how do you go about getting the roster from someone's locker?

    Pasta doesn't owe anybody anything. It doesn't matter if he got his rosters from EA or God himself. Pasta didn't make the game. He was using a feature of the game to help us the general consumers. If there are ANY problems our anger, frustration, or discontentment should be directed at EA. Again, it doesn't matter where he got them from, they're available to us at no cost. Separate the two issues. Pasta did something to help us. EA developed a feature that may cause issues. Either way, both were an attempt at making the game more enjoyable for us.

    Pasta, keep your head up man and don't listen to these morons on here.
  • Zane
    And you can.....if you have a XBOX 360. I think the issues are on the PS3 but cant say 100%.
  • pat
    as long as i can play just quick games and game modes and stuff with the named rosters ill be happy
  • Zane
    But regardless......bugs or no bugs, this game is the SHIZZ! You all will be very happy with the actual gameplay!
  • Zane
    I have the game already and It does "freeze" at times.....like the end of the game, but all i do is press start and it comes back. So far, not a huge issue. A few issues that I have with the games are:

    1. A receiver will catch the ball 2 yards away from the sidline but the "tip toe/falling down" animation kicks in.....the guys is 2 yards away from the sidelines!

    2. EXTREMELY high CPU completion percentage.

    3. DB coverage......at times, the DB ill be 10 yards away from the receiver in man coverage.
  • bux
    Like I said long ago... 2kshare.

    EA knows NOTHING about online play and roster without hiccups...

    Maybe they should get Take two, online stuff would be better
  • Billy
    ^ For NBA Live that is!
  • Billy
    I believe that the new feature is nightly roster updates. Including created players, all transactions and stat alterations. It is dependent on the prior nights game performance. The updates will also include the previous games starting lineups.
  • speedster
    on Gamestop, ncaa football 09 seems to be available today July 14.
    so is it true i can buy it today?
  • 54V4G3R
    i dont give a fu**. pasta you are the shit and NCAA football is coming out tonight broken or not i dont care. im happy.
  • jzal8
    Hey Pasta, you are always a reliable source when it comes to performance when it comes to online play. Have you or anyone else here played enough online games to be able to comment on any lag issues or report that everything is running great? This is going to make or break my online dynasty participation.
  • J-Claw
    figures that ea is trying to deflect blame at two of the most respected community guys. their editing feature is causing the problem, not the rosters.
  • Jonathon
    [quote comment="28558"]He is the one that put out the rosters that were given to him and cause peoples system to freeze. He endorsed them. You can't put the blame anywhere else.[/quote]

    all editing of rosters are freezing...that includes the rosters included with the game...that's why the people trying to get rosters out are havin trouble as well...its not just pasta's rosterst that are causing the game to freeze...go spout your conspiracy theories elsewhere...
  • Ramen Padre

    Unless EA gave him a file to test/try out.
  • Ramen Padre
    I keep hearing that Pasta got his rosters from EA. If so, then the problems may lie with them. Besides, they cant give a roster file to someone like that or else the NCAA could sure their asses very quickly. And out of all the people that could get a roster file, why Pasta????? The freezing is occuring because people try to edit his file. Whats goin on?
  • VTENT
    He is the one that put out the rosters that were given to him and cause peoples system to freeze. He endorsed them. You can't put the blame anywhere else.

    [quote comment="28552"][quote comment="28549"]Pasta owes us an explanation.....[/quote]

    are you insinuating that Pasta is somehow responsible? the only person who might 'owe' us an answer is EA...and they have already stated that they are looking into the issue...sure sounds like that is your answer right there...[/quote]

    yeah u cant put it on pasta he doesnt owe us an explanation it would just be nice to hear one and ur right ea should owe us an explanation because this is ridicoulous problems with the game if a patch is needed to fix this then uh oh ea is in trouble we could be already taking aout a patch and the game is yet to release
