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.

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.[/quote]
Unless EA gave him a file to test/try out.

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.

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.

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.
Billy
^ For NBA Live that is!

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

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.

And you can…..if you have a XBOX 360. I think the issues are on the PS3 but cant say 100%.

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.

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?

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”.

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?

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.

[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.

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.

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
