The second patch for NCAA Football 10 went live for the 360 earlier this morning. Starting up the game should lead to an aut0-prompt for the download. There is no specified time when it will be out for the PS3 since it is dependent on clearing certification though it is expected soon as well.

Check out the previous posting for all the details on what this patch addresses. It seems unlikely that the patch will go a long way in changing the way NCAA 10 is perceived especially since it didn’t fix some of the most pressing issues deemed by the community. However there is still a good amount of adjustments that were made which should improve the overall experience.

After trying out the game with the patch applied be sure to leave your thoughts on it in the comments.

      iPhone app is in certification but from what I've heard Apple is really difficult with that so there is no way to know when it will be out.

      Madden patch I'd look for maybe in the next couple weeks. They held off on the first patch to wait for release and get more in, I havent heard that its been sent to certification yet. It may have been which would mean up to two weeks, or we're looking at two plus weeks. They havent commented to me on that yet.

    It doesn't appear that they did anything that would improve running out of the shotgun spread so this wouldn't address my main concern. Oh well, I traded it in for Madden anyways after realizing I couldn't accurately replicate Oregon's offense in the game.

    • mr.brightside

      tell me about oregons offense and why it cant be duplicated.

      • http://intensedebate.com/people/dfoz3 dfoz3

        Well, it might just be me, but I find it terribly difficult to get past the line of scrimmage while running out of the shot gun formation. Oregon runs a shotgun spread offense but their version of it is run first, pass second. I was able to run really well on out of the goalline formation and even the pistol on inside runs, but anything to the outside would almost immediately be shut down. I found it to be very one dimensional when trying to play as Oregon.

        To me it seems that the blocking is the issue. When the first defender regularly hits you behind the line of scrimmage it is almost impossible to get much farther even if you break that first tackle.

        I had tried to adjust sliders and this worked to an extent, but it then became too easy to run and I couldn't get a good balance. I know that very few teams are running shotgun spread run option offenses so I can understand why it is difficult, but it doesn't make it taste any better.

          Yeah, it has to be you. If i can use oregon's playbook and be the #2 ranked rushing team in the nation with a teambuilder team, (with no one above 70 ovr on offense and my leading rusher is a powerback with 85 speed) then that means that it is your stick skills.

          • http://intensedebate.com/people/dfoz3 dfoz3

            What level are you playing on and did you adjust sliders at all? just curious. Also, are you running out of the shotgun mostly or do you use the pistola and goalline regularly? Thanks!

        • mr.brightside

          thanks, i understand.

      HA HA. Probably couldnt keep up with Boise State soe he got pissed. (its a joke, dont get too salty). Big Blue gonna rip yall apart

        Luckily my stick skills won't factor in when Oregon is running circles around your ponies. :)

        • DuckHunter

          Ohh duck fans! Your team has NEVER accomplished anything (1 Rose Bowl Win EVER, how many Pac-10 titles, how many national championships) yet you act like an elite program. With Nike money and those facilities, you think they might actually win something more than a Holiday Bowl.

          I would say more, but ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit says it best.

            Taht is awfully nice of kirk herbstreit, he will probably be taking that back when he visits eugene once or twice this year. Cal, USC, or maybe Utah. All will be Gameday caliber games in eugene. ____I like people who like to talk trash without even reppin their own team. Obviously whoever you like isn't even worth mentioning.

    How could they not address the progression issue, shit Madden didn’t even mess that up as bad. I like some of the things that they fixed and I’m hoping that some of the stuff included in NCAA fix will get fixed in Madden’s patch.

    I think the reason for the progression issue is because the initial ratings were too high. im in my 6th season and Im seeing the recruits coming in a progress realistically. i know they messed up but when i figured it out i just played to get rid of all the original players

    • http://intensedebate.com/people/WWOFTBBNR WWOFTBBNR

      I agree – It seems like it's only the offensive players that are overrated though. Even a team like Western Michigan has a plethora of 80s on offense, but their defense is all 60s-low 70s.

      • matt

        That's to be expected, because small schools often have few high caliber athletes, and they usually put most of them on offense.

    So did they spread out the rankings like Madden?

    Yeah the progression issue is mainly offense, and it really doesn't effect your dynasty as much, and the progression is actually very realistic with incoming recruits.

    Pasta any word on a second roster update for Madden? I know this is a NCAA post but I don't have that game, sorry. I'm guessing they're not going to do another roster update until before the season but just wanted a confirmation on that. Thanks.

    I have played some online games since the patch came out…The gameplay is different but different BAD. They should have left the game like it was…I feel like I was playing 09 over again…no pass defense. The pass was was non-existant on 09 but now after the patch the pass rush is soooo good that its like there is no O-line. EA actually made a solid game bad with this patch.
