1st Patch

What's in the patch?

There's a number of changes
in this patch. Most would never be noticed by the average
consumer but some were targeted at improving the experience as
quickly as we could.

1. Changed default quarter
length of online leagues to 5 minutes.
2. Solved a very
rare stability issue that occurred when using a couple of
playbooks.
3. Eliminated a button mashing glitch during
high latency online games.
4. Eliminated a stability issue
that sometimes occured while viewing the player HUB in online
leagues.
5. Fixed a tricky disc eject glitch that occurred
at specific points of online games.
6. Kick Return Tuning
- made improvements to help reduce frequent long kick
returns.
7. Safety Tuning - eliminated issue where
safeties in deep zone coverage would sometimes not react to
a run to their side.
8. The game skill slider for
interceptions was tuned to amplify it's affect.



Umm, #5 and #7 are kinda huge aren't they?
Especially #5?

Mod! strafe catching is the signal most used "user catch" in the game... just can't believe its not in the game this year, I guess they need something to add next year... right.

too many people were complaining to the ea boards (mod remember that name) about this and how they couldn't stop it.

i dunno, i mean its pretty unrealistic how a wr is running a streak and he just turns around and cuts off the corner to make a catch, and how you can do it pretty consistently is kinda bad.

well then at least give me accelerated clock...speed things up u know

I heard there was a glitch in the 360 version of the demo at least where sometimes a player on the field would just stand up and walk away. Kinda funny if you ask me lol. But did they ever catch that?

Man! that is strange Shadelon.... hope thats not in the final build of the game.

I'm glad to see they are fixin it on release..

I thought it was in the game cause I sure did it with Plax on the demo.

3. Eliminated a button mashing glitch during
high latency online games.
This was one of the dissconect glitch's from ncaa 09, And yes there is a glitch in the demo where they will just stand up and walk away and there is no playclock so you will have to restart.

Im also glad they took kickoff returns down a notch.
Bak the srafe catch(LT) is inconsitint i have not done it ounce but ea says that you will be able to do it every now and then 1 out of every 5 or 6 times i think, but im not sure though.

5. Fixed a tricky disc eject glitch that occurred
at specific points of online games.

how is that even possible? lol

yeah i like the fix on #5 and 7...my question is wat is stability issue?

EA r we ever gonna get a glitch free fb game so we can all enjoy our games alot more . get irt right ea jeez.

yeah or make it to where thes glitches are stupid and pointless and dont matter don tkno who but thats y they make the big bucks right.

There is strafe catching on defense correct?

If there is there is no morwe throwing to your 6-6,6-7 reciver in duoble coverage and him coming down with it all that is going to be is user pick.
