NCAA 2009

[Mac]

EA is currently trying a fix for the problem that Clarity ran into with his Online Dynasty. It is a patch in the servers that somehow the game results and things were getting posted to someone elses EA LOCKER.

Fixed the exploit that custom sounds will tip you off when your opponent is going to fake punt/kick on 4th down

I'd like to know more about this. Even though I have never encountered this or have a clue what they are talking about.

I'm 5-0 so far in my offline dynasty..

YSU W 45-7 *Simmed because I can't stand playing 1-AA*
Ohio W 42-9
USC W 20-12
Troy W 48-3
Minnesota W 38-10

USC game was a great one. Beanie was getting stuffed all game and Boeckman was erratic, but my defense played fantastic, Laurinaitis and Freeman were in Sanchez' face all day and Jenkins locked down his side of the field so I could afford to shift my safeties to D-Wash's sides. Goebel is a beast with his 96 strength though, he's starting at DT now.

Beanie is #1 in the Heisman race and so far has around 800 yards and 11 TD's and is averaging 6.1 YPC for me. Freeman and Laurinaitis are the best LB duo in the country, if we all didn't know that already. I can't get any sacks though, I have 3 guys with 1 and only Abadallah is a DL.

It's good to see they are going to improve this game DRASTICALLY...and in time for the real football season start is AWESOME!!!

Did you see in that thread where they mentioned how long the roster patch might take? They are now saying at least another week and it might be August before the roster patch is sent out. OMT underestimated the amount of time it would take.

Why is it I'm not impressed with the graphics on the videos I've seen posted? Guys turning at full speed with no lean at all. The turns look like they have a pole running through their spine, out their ass and into the ground like a carousel horse.

Just seems to me the grpahics are not impressive.

I ran into this on my first game. I was OSU and I have it set to play Hells Bells on 3rd and 4th down (assuming they're going for it and not punting). The CPU came out once and punted.....no bells. The next time they came out in the punt formation on 4th down, but the bells started playing letting me know they were faking it.

Posey #8 (used Thomas)
Thomas #7 (used Henton)
Buchanan #85 (used Lane)
Boren #65 (used Skinner, slight upgrade of '08 ratings)
Howard #31 (used Posey)
Mobley #96 (used Patterson)
Rowell #91 (created)
Martin #41 (used Olson, +2 spd)

Jwins, can you help me out here? I didn't download your roster yesterday, so I need to ask if one of the Thomas' is supposed to be Travis Howard, or is the second supposed to be Solomon Thomas, assuming that the other is Lamaar, based on the jersey #s?

Also I am curious as to the #s you have, as they don't match some of the listed #s from the OSU site's rosters. If you have a link to more correct/updated jersey #s I'd certainly appreciate it.

I want to at least have the roster set so I can restart my OSU dynasty.

Edited your post to fix typo. Also, Howard should be 18, but that suggestion was made since my last edit (I'm waiting on the roster fix to make changes). Later tonight or tomorrow, I can get to the more extensive changes I've been given thus far.

Let me know which numbers look offbase. I'm leaving Small as #4, just in case he earns it back. We can always change him to 82 later, we can't change him back to 4, with coleman hogging the #4 action.

Cool, I was thinking that's what you meant, and edited Lane to him last night as #31.

The only thing I see the roster I linked, other than Howard being # 18, is that it lists Flash as #15 instead of #7.

Almost snuck that in my sig, but it was a lil big, and am sticking with the Army theme until media day.

Last night I worked on the Ohio State roster for NCAA 2009. All of the information is listed in an Excel file that is linked below. Please provide any feedback.

Aha, I obviously hadn't viewed the spreadsheet prior to making my last post.

Here's an abbreviated version of the lloydman's spreadsheet and Jwins' notes:

Simple player changes (preserve original ratings during edit)
Posey #8 (use Thomas) = FR
Thomas #7 (use Henton) = Should be 15? (Trapasso) = FR

Needed edits:
T. Boekman = Make team captain
B. Browning = Dark skin needed
K. Wells = Dark skin needed
J. Hines = SO: change from (RS)FR
A. Sweat = #42: change from 39
M. Brewster = C: change from RT

Recommended Player creates via edits
J. Martin #41 FB (use Olson: injured, +2 spd, -AWR) = FR
J. Boren #65 G (use Skinner: injured) = Jr to redshirt first year (transfer)
B. Buchanan #85 K (use Posey: above changes) = Should be 17 (Boeckman) = FR

Potential Players to edit for creates
S. Lane (non-starting upper classman)
N. Patterson (non-starting upper classman)
E. Clifford (questionable future)

Potential creates (only space for 2)
Ryan Lukens #49 (5th)SR
Any other missing player expected to contribute

Edits to consider going forward:
T. Washington: Should be #5 (Chekwa)
R. Small: #4 to #82

Known FR #s (non-default players):
T. Howard = 18

I figure a list like this should be easy to access and edit going forward. Anyone can edit or append it by quoting and changing.

Aha #2, as I didn't realize that's who was in the picture. #7 works anyways since Trapasso has #15.

 

[jwinslow]

Also Kyle Ruhl is #15, a walkon WR, but on the cusp of end-game playing time after the big names.

 

[jwinslow]

From Audibles (PSU frosh):

Wedderburn = #86
Terry = #96
Ware = #99
Crawford = #98
Mauti = #42
Beachum = #25
Zordich = #31
Yancich = # unknown
Price = # unknown
Stankiewitch = #69
Pannell = #62
Radakovich = #72
Massaro = #58
Lynn = #12
Farrell = #78

I have not played much dynasty yet. Does the roster glitch happen without ceasing? Or if you save regularly enough, can you just get up and restart your frozen console and likely re-do that week without a hiccup? (fingers crossed)
