I just played my first full game. I used created teams and I adjusted the sliders even though I know they are of negligible use right now. And I had a blast.

I understand why Rudy has problems with the camera. If I had the option for the old camera that is probably what I would use as well. But I am getting use to this camera.

Playing with player lock on defense is great fun. I pick a safety and have at it. This has me much more interested in playing defense than I have been in for years. It's something new.

The game is not perfect, especially considering I don't have the patch yet. The atmosphere needs help for sure. What I'd like to see next year are all of the ratings from Madden, all-around improvement in presentation/atmosphere and all the Division IAA (or whatever the hell they are called now) schools. I don't think that's too much too ask. I cannot wait for the complete rosters and the patch. I should be a very happy boy then.
Patch #1 on the sliders is awesome. Works very well.

Adam said over on OS that Patch #2 is going adjust some of the running game and also tweak the default pass rush.

So the sliders will need to be tweaked again, but will remain effective like they are now post Patch #1
Cannot WAIT for patch #1! :woot:
Patch 1 alone is good enough for me to finally enjoy NCAA. I was so so on 2008 and 2009.

PS3 Online

George and I played online last night.

We tried to connect twice, but the first time it froze on me while getting info from the showdown server. Then it froze on both of us as we were in the kickoff screen select to start the game. We both got a DNF for that which sucked, but oh well.

Then we both reset our routers and cable modem.

Then we tried the 3rd time. And as some say, "3rd time's a charm." :waytogo:


Kent State (me) @ Louisville (George)
Both teams are rated a C overall.

The gameplay felt like an Xbox Live game. No lag. No issues. Felt like I was playing it offline. I was VERY impressed.

George kicked my ass. 30 to 14.

At first it looked like I would be in control since the very first kickoff I ran back for a TD.

Then George turned it on. He found the weaknesses in my team.
He was able to pick apart runs to the outside since the LE and RE of Kent suck. His passing game was pretty damn good too.

I threw a couple dumb ass INTs. one of which was in the 3rd while I was mounting a good comback, but he was able to convert that mistake.

At the end of the game I had a chance for another TD, but as my RB was at the 2yrd line he got STRIPPED as he was going into the end zone. George recovers.


It was fun. And surprisingly stable for playing on the "crappy playstation network." But all these games are peer to peer just like the 360 version since EA does all the hosting.

I guess I'm outnumbered on the feelings of the graphics on 09 vs 10. Maybe it's just a PS3 thing?

Jim, I'll try to check out your teams online. The patch will makes sliders REALLY good. You will enjoy them.

I feel NCAA 10 looks better than 09 as well.

Also, I know the 360 patch will allow 360 users to download PS3 teams from TeamBuilder, I'm sure that will come to PS3 as well.

Well Hank came over this morning to help my with a router issue and he saw both games briefly. He thought '10 looked better but he's blind! :)
