EA Sports has released the details of the second patch for NCAA Football 10. This appears to be a very substantial patch which is somewhat expected since the first patch addressed little other than fixing the sliders, adding the ability to turn off DLC cheats in Online Dynasty, and making the somewhat more accurate rosters playable online. The patch is expected to be out soon but no official date has been specified as of yet.

As has been pointed out though in the comments there is no mention of player progression. That has been one of the most discussed issues with the game and was anticipated to be fixed but according to the info has not been addressed. I’m also surprised that there hasn’t been adjustment made to the Aggressive (aka Facemask penalty) game planning.

Continue on for the full patch list. Will this patch be enough to change alter your opinion on the game or is it too little, too late? Leave your thoughts on it in the comments!

Player Lock in Online Games will now move the camera behind the locked player (like Offline games)

Greatly increased the quality of uploaded videos

Fixed an issue with penalties on a change of possession in Overtime

Fixed an issue where you would sometimes lose control of your player going offsides in no huddle situations

Tuned holding chances on Field Goals and Extra Points

Fixed a couple pass coverage issues with Wild Cat plays

Tuned the chuck success chances to favor more neutral results. Wins and Losses are extreme and should occur less for both the offense and defense

AI Tackle slider is now more effective

Lead Blocking tweaks to fix some cases of pulling lineman ignoring defenders

Fixed a few rare cases that would cause players in pursuit to run away from the ball carrier

Tuned the CPU ball carrier to make some smarter choices

Fixed a bug where the CPU would high step at inappropriate times

Tuned player switching logic to give a more appropriate player

Fixed an issue with Punts being spotted incorrectly when the punt went out of bounce

Corrected an issue where pressing in man coverage would cause the CPU to throw the ball too early

If the receiver caught a pass during a slip, rarely would he be ruled down after the catch (even if he got up before making the catch). This has been fixed.

Fixed a bug where sometimes the clock would continue to run after hold on an extra point

Forward pitches are now correctly tracked as passing and receiving yards for the players involved

Receivers will now try and release to the appropriate side of the defender based on their route

Fixed some problems that were causing defensive players to not always get back in time during hurry up plays

Reduced the effect of the Run Block Slider on special teams plays

Tuned how effective the slant route for running backs out of the backfield was

Tuned how far away diving sacks will start from

Fixed an online grieve with pausing the game

Fixed a bug where using a TeamBuilder team as the away team would cause the team colors to be incorrect

Fixed an issue where some Dynasty teams were only able to offer 15 scholarships. You will not have to restart your dynasty for this to take effect, the fix is for offline and online dynasties.

Certain TeamBuilder teams were incorrectly being blocked by the profanity filter and showing up as XXXX, this has been corrected

Fixed and issue where Punt was not the default selection on 4th down and punting distance

Off-centered single digit jersey numbers are now centered correctly

Fixed a crash in Custom Stadium Sounds when the list of files was too long

TeamBuilder teams with & in the name can now be searched properly

Fixed an issue where the “Online Dynasty Servers are Down” pop-up was showing up incorrectly

I would really enjoy to recieve an automatic win once the opponent quits during an online ranked match. When i try to finish against the CPU i usually get disconnected and it says i wont recieve a lose but i always do....please help

Larry

ncaa football from ea needs to have an option where the player can diside weather to do playoffs or bowls for post season in ncaa football easports!!!

Chad

over the past few days i've been having a problem with zone defenses. when i call a zone and view the play b4 the snap, it shows everyone who is playing a hook/curl zone to be playing that zone at the line of scrimmage and when the ball is snapped that is what they do. they immediately run to the line of scrimmage and play their zone there. if i hot route someone to play a hook/curl zone, they do the same thing. does anyone know why?

bet2

just fix the cpu intelligence. the same plays over and over are really a bitch to have to user pick everything. wish they would make the corners more intelligent.... easily the most flawed pass defense in the ncaa franchise thus far imo.

hail2thevictors

NOT SURE IF IT WAS MENTIONED, BUT QB QUIZ IS OFF A LOT! THE PLAY THE DEFENSE RAN DOES NOT COME UP IN THE QUIZ AFTER YOU'VE THROWN AN INT.

Kyle

"The patch is expected to be out soon but no official date has been specified as of yet."

When it is released, all you need to do is put the game in the system, be connected to the internet with your console and you will be prompted to download it then.

Wow! The same people that complain about all the fixes are the same people that would be complaining if they didn't do anything. Get a life people. No game is perfect. And if you haven't realized it by now, no NCAA or Madden game will ever be perfect, but to flame a company that puts out two of the most popular sports games year after year is just pointless.

Get over it. They are games folks. They're not supposed to change your life. And if you don't like EA, stop buying their products. Constantly complaining in message boards just gets old. Big bother is not out to get you! EA does strive to make good games or they wouldn't be in the business, since they lost a ton of money last year. So get over it. Move on to Madden, complain about it for a few weeks, then move on to the next game your going to complain about because it's not perfect.

Hey its Mr. Moore everybody! See this is what makes America great. We have the right to complain when we spend our hard earned money on something. Unlike in China if you complaim you go to jail or get beaten or blocked from the internet. Yes no game will be perfect and there has never been such a game that has been perfect. We the comsumer just asks that minor problems that shouldnt be in the game be fixed before we buy the game and perfection should be strived for not sitting on there hands. So my communist friend if you dont like hearing people complain on here you should relocate to a blog in fron china, russia or even iran perhaps

Pasta when is a patch for madden going to come out?? They have the same problem with lineman just going by a defender in stead of blocking them and db's continously stepping in front of wr's like they are helpless and i keep getting false starts even in my own stadium!

pastapadre

I think the first one, which will deal with many of the minor issues people have pointed out, will probably be out within the next two weeks or so. The second one will be focused on community input and tuning once that is out, but I think the first will probably be significant since they held off on putting it out to get as much in as possible.

Hawkeye4077

Wow, does anyone not see this as a major problem with games (specially sports games) today. It's a pay me now and play later mentality with these gaming companies. Should u really have to pay full price for game only to have to wait a month to play it without ridiculous bugs that shouldn't have been there in the first place?

I hate the fact that we're always talking about patches when a game is releases...WTF? Patches aren't supposed to part of the game production, they should be to adjust minor glitches not revamp a game. How it sucks to be a football gaming fan today.

allmaddenkingsucks

agreed, patches should not be part of game production.

Maximus205

It doesnt matter. Its too late to salvage that game. That put the madden10 features in just to say that they have them but they didnt tune them at all. Its very lackluster and lazy on the devs part. I'm never playing ncaa10 again. Madden10 FTW!!

allmaddenking

fuck ncaa get that madden patch out NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW i lost too many games cuz of holding on stupid plays. come on who holds on field goals

allmaddenkingsucks

i do trick bitch

The size of this list speaks volumes. Although some fixes sound good, it's too little too late for me.

A weak initial offering and a $40 trade-in investment had me so ready to get rid of a game that I play every year more than anything else I own in the quickest way possible. A huge, huge step for me, someone who hadn't purchased a Madden title in over 5 years.

okafor43

I should have know also when i popped open the game and saw that 40 dollar trade in something was up!!!

Dre2778

This just may be the straw that broke the camels back. With this many issues plaguing the game not too many people may buy it next year unless some serious changes are dealt and the current game is overhauled.

Voice of the PEOPLE

GUY WHO COMPLAINS about double #'s in NCAA FOOTBALL is a retord (hangover style) there are 1000 people on an NCAA football roster....seeing to people with the same # is a regular thing, every year USC has 2 good players with the same number....this year i think its TAYLOR MAYS and CJ GABLE

lowg1

bitch listen up, i know you are slow so let me break it down for you. i know that when the games ships you will get a couple of players that do have the same number, but when the rooks change their number to something that someone already has you cant use the same number. get of the hangovers nutz bitch. your just the voice of the homo.

Chad

you can have duplicate numbers...one on offense and one on defense....and the players with the same # can't be on the field at the same time..i.e. taylor mays and cj gable can't both play kick return. it's always been that way.

jose

ok, so are you saying you have free number editing? or are you just a dumbass?

The list says it all about this game. Total dissapointment. Ncaa 10 football is going down and im sure the money grabbing people at Ncaa is taking notice. New development team or time to let someone else take a crack at it.

treyyy

why isnt there a patch for Florida's Defense forcing 12 fumbles a game? Its not fair 2 play vs them. I used them and forced my friend (heisman difficulty) 10 fumbles in 1st half of a game...

Evan

TreyIM2, you must have very low standards my friend, plus the only thing worse than a whiner is a person who whines about them. I'm a game dev student and you have to realize, these days games are held to a different standard than galaga or pac-man. With video game development becoming an art similar to making a film you don't do the kind of stuff EA has. You can call people whiners but when it comes down to it they just don't want any excuses for the list of things that a company must patch. The size of this list speaks facts, you can't deny it.

TreyIM2

Dude, you have NO clue what my standards are and what I do for a living. I am in IT so I am very familiar with programming and much of computer related things. Plus as a "game dev student" how much do you know about everything that goes into making a video game, as a whole, company wide, my friend, where there are deadlines, schedules and dev cycles?? See, if you understand what these guys are up against every year when you have to release an iteration of a game EVERY YEAR, then come talk to me. Love how so many of you think you know everything and then a person like your silly ass has the stupidity to call ME a whiner for telling little girls like u to man up and see the bigger picture. The whiners usually have most of the mouth when someone pulls their skirt up. Use your mouth for what u do best, my friend, not talk.

Jay

When will NCAA look like madden now?

65South

NCAA 11 will be the college version of Madden 10.

okafor43

ok then what do you call ncaa 10 cause it sure dont look like maden 09!

Pharrell1

dont like when they tune gameplay after the game was released should just done progression and subsantial things like that hate when they touch gameplay after the games been out for almost two months. but I do like the glitch where if CPU no huddles I get called for Offsides cause the QB hikes it fast

Chris

wow so many fixes im glad i didnt buy this piece of shit game, madden 10 is great, CUTLER CAN WALK ON WATER!!!!!!!!

TreyIM2

Oooooohhhh, the whiners. Be glad that they can go back and patch the game but truth be told, I am wondering if EA's sports game engines may be a bit too antiquated. I still enjoy Madden and NCAA 10, regardless of the flaws. NO game is perfect and the games are VERY playable. People act like we're in the stone ages of video gaming. Maybe that's the prob - Young heads aren't appreciative of what console gaming has come from to get where it is now.

65South

Be glad they can go back and patch the game?? That's part of the problem with EA and many gamers ourselves.

When has it ever been acceptable to release an unfinished product with a promise -- or hope -- to fix it later? Would you buy a car with the manufacturer saying here drive this around and no promises, but we'll look into fixing anything that doesn't work at a later date? If you buy a television from your local electronics store and it doesn't work when you get home, you don't wait for them to send you parts or hope for them to fix it, you take it back.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but as consumers of EA products, many of you loyal at that, I just don't think releasing a game and "patching" it should be the norm.

LIONSFANLOL

ok can u pleaaaasssssee shut up u sound so damn dumb every single game that comes out gets updated. Also how can u compare a car to a video game a car is a way bigger investment than a video game so u should really shut up cuz u sound retarded. I dont see anything wrong with fixing a games problems. Patches are great because they listen to the community and fix what is wrong with the game before u would have to wait until the next game comes out to see changes. RETARD :-)

TreyIM2

LIONSFANLOL - U understand. The problem with "young minded" people is that they don't have the brain capacity, yet, if they ever get it, to understand the broader spectrum. Video games have had glitches and flaws since their inception....oh, but wait, this goes back to my point about NOT understanding about what video games used to be to what they are now not to mention PC games have had patching since forever.

Get a clue 65South and Josh
