fuckna. I keep hitting RB and it throws the the ball away. Had RB where it was one of my receivers in 08 and LB to throw it away. And it won't let me change it in 09. Also got halfway through the first year in dynasty mode with ULL(1*) to try to make them a 6* but there's no achievement for that this year. doh. *carl face*

7/15/2008 9:15:19 PM

yeah theres a few mistakes on rosters

hahaha and our Shea Mckeen plays for UNC

I thought the ratings for State this year were pretty terrible.......its like they took random overall ratings and random players and just stuck them together

Russell Wilson a 68?
Ant Hill a 82 while Evans is an 83?

7/15/2008 9:22:18 PM

I try really hard not to edit any ratings because once you do one guy its a slippery slope

7/15/2008 10:07:02 PM

everyone i've talked to (even game stores) is confused about how this game is played and looks on the Wii.

Some stores i've asked say that the "all-play" is only an option and can be turned off for hardcore players.
However, every video i've found on the internet for the wii shows the all-play features...

so what gives?

7/15/2008 10:19:11 PM

^I don't know this for fact, but I thought all the EA Sports games on Wii were gonna be that stupid All-Play stuff

7/15/2008 10:37:03 PM

yeah they are...but people don't know whether you can play old school style or you HAVE to do all play

Yea I mean how the fuck do duke and state have the same overall rating?

7/15/2008 11:23:04 PM

haha this mascot mashup is insane. Everyone is rated 99's and are fucking speed demons.

7/15/2008 11:31:38 PM

LeShan McCoy for Pitt is a fucking badass in this game... best RB I have ever used probably

7/15/2008 11:40:01 PM

Woot! My first TD

[Edited on July 15, 2008 at 11:47 PM. Reason : Fixing the link]

7/15/2008 11:42:30 PM

McCoy 176 yards rushing on 20 attempts, 4 TDs

7/16/2008 12:16:10 AM

how are the uniforms?

7/16/2008 12:20:57 AM

^red? lol. They are very simple. Similar to the PR days, with a little different numbering. A block S it looks like above the last name, and a small emblem on the front collar

7/16/2008 1:47:03 AM

rosters for ps3?

7/16/2008 8:15:43 AM

still not out - likely later this week.

haha. From a post on the operationsports.com message board:

Quote :

"HUM QBA actually is CPU QBA HUM RB actually is CPU RB HUM RBA actually is CPU RBA Here is where it really gets hairy. CPU RBA actually is CPU PB CPU WRC=0 actually is CPU WRC=100 (reversed) HUM WRC at 100 actually is HUM QBA at 0 HUM PB is only correct offensive slider. CPU QBA at 100 actually is HUM WRC at 0 CPU PB at 100 actually is HUM RB at 0 CPU RB actually is HUM RBA"

haven't had a chance to try the theory yet but apparently EA screwed the pooch even more.

7/16/2008 11:36:24 AM

How do patches work for the 360? I've had mine for a while, but I don't play a lot on it and never get online.

7/16/2008 11:42:28 AM

man, EA really fucked some shit up on this game didnt they??? WTF programmers?

he also has Brandon Barnes at FS...should be Earl Wolff.

7/16/2008 2:11:12 PM

i thought barnes is playing in the secondary though...

also "small emblem on the front collar" - i think its that new 3 wolf-heads logo

7/16/2008 2:19:18 PM

i thought he was coming in as a RB? his spring profile does mention him play DB in high school, though.

1-0 online, i tried to grant dude mercy when it was 24-3 at the beginning of the half...he denied...then score on him again then he conceded defeat, hahah

7/16/2008 3:20:50 PM

^yeah, i beat this guy earlier who played as Michigan 31-17. Was a pretty straight player though, which was surprising

7/16/2008 5:34:28 PM

I haven't played anyone online that doesn't scramble around like a little bitch.

...and go for it on 4th and 8 at their own 21

...and blitz the fuck out of me every play

knowing that i'm 2-1

state seem horrible to anyone else here? any tips?

7/16/2008 11:37:17 PM

can evans.

7/16/2008 11:44:30 PM

Question about the custom fight songs. I loaded the State marching band CD on my PS3 but when I go to import them into NCAA 09 it won't let me select the track. I can't preview them either (says they need to be in MP3 format?) Also the R2 sprint button is terrible, I switched sprint over to X on offense but on Defense you can't, X is locked in as strip. Other than that the game is great.

7/17/2008 9:29:08 AM

I'm having entirely too much trouble running the ball effectively. I used to be able to get a quick 5-6 damn near every play in previous years, but USC just held me (as OSU) to 62 yards on 22 carries.

It seems like every time I get tackled, I get hit backwards, whereas the CPU RB is falling forward. What gives?

7/17/2008 9:33:57 AM

ill can evans. Go with Beck or Glennon?

Any tips on D? D seems very slow. Ive tried to switch to a 3-3-5, and it helps, but im getting killed by the HB in the flats or the qb rolling out and dumping the ball off.

7/17/2008 9:37:33 AM

glennon, he comes stock with great pass strength and accuracy.

Default for PS3 is to save them as AAC files. You have to go into the system settings and change this to MP3 and re-import

7/17/2008 1:09:54 PM

just find plays that have either the DE's or someone else in a zone in the flats and take control of the one on the wide side of the field our you could just hot route someone to cover it.

7/17/2008 1:10:29 PM

Thanks b_rimes

7/17/2008 1:20:08 PM

we rented the PS2 version and played it this morning...

my buddy beat me with NCSU and I was Florida

7/17/2008 2:09:56 PM

i just got this game today at lunch, i look forward to playing it tonight

custom fight songs sound cool...however i think it would be cooler to load up some Ol Dirty Bastard or something for State's fight song...at least thats what I plan on doing

7/17/2008 2:24:21 PM

Just played my first Dynasty game, beat up on the Gamecocks pretty good.
NCSU 30
USC 14

7/17/2008 8:08:18 PM

Sorry if this has been asked already...

I have the PS3 version and I need a hook up on a good roster file does anyone have an EA Locker ID I can download a cpmplete roster from?

(I've tried some IDs I found online but it keeps saying "Download failed"

7/17/2008 9:29:37 PM

The best rosters that will be available are due out later tonight. I'd keep an eye out on this thread:

yeah, DT found a way around the roster bug that was erasing teams and deleting ratings but stuff is still screwed up for the people who are wanting to release rosters with ratings, equipment, and added players updates.

Quote :

"NCAA Football 09 Patch Announcement 02:43 PM - July 16, 2008 by OMT We have identified and fixed the bug causing the game to crash when editing rosters. This bug also causes teams to disappear and team ratings to change. The patch is being tested tonight, and assuming all goes well it will be submitted tomorrow for certification. The expected release is in 5-10 days. Until the patch, we recommend you cease editing rosters. Rosters that have been corrupted by the bug will not work after the patch. If you have a roster in progress and have not encountered any freezes or missing teams, it will work after the patch. There is a possibility a roster can be corrupt and not have surfaced any problems yet. This is why we recommend that you stop or back up your work among multiple save files. We are also fixing the bug where the depth chart gets reordered after editing a player with this patch. These are the ONLY fixes in this patch. We are planning on a 2nd patch with many fixes, but we had to get this one out the door. We appreciate everyone's patience on this matter."

I decided three years with my 360 was enough and I sent mine away to be fixed but I'm going to sell it when I get back to my cousin... I bought an elite so I can get the HDMI...

I was fooling around with the Custom sounds and it works great streaming right from my laptop... I figured there would be a lag like other games since it they are both on my wireless, but it starts right away... it's pretty sweet.

I am doing a SEC dynasty with Auburn to start off (yeah, I know... pretty easy team to play with) so I went to OperationSports and downloaded some of the sound packs and did like LSU, Auburn, Bama, UF and UT sounds... they sound awesome and play in the right spots... really cool little feature.

V yeah, each sound has to be it's own playlist... I just did it on my laptop and saved each MP3 I played in winamp as a .m3u with the same name... took like 2 minutes to do 30...

[Edited on July 18, 2008 at 12:42 PM. Reason : x]

7/18/2008 12:16:14 PM

i couldnt get the custom sounds to work very well...i had a playlist on my 360 and i selected it, and when the home team kicks off, it begins to play the playlist, but how can you select which song on the playlist should play? it always plays the first song, do i need to create more playlists?

7/18/2008 12:25:35 PM

^Put each song in its own playlist. Then you can choose which event you want with each specific song.

Just out of curiosity, what sounds/songs are you all using? I use "POD- Boom" for kickoffs, and I found "Wolfpack in the house" and "woooolf paaaack" on youtube that I converted to mp3. I use those mostly for sacks and defense on 3rd downs. Sounds pretty sweet! Got any other suggestions?

7/18/2008 4:15:54 PM

i had a playlist of some wutang and binary star and stuff that i had put together to get an achievement in another game...nothing remotely associated with ncsu...but knowing what you just told me i'm gonna spend a little time this evening coming up with some cool shit

7/18/2008 4:39:13 PM

gangsta bounce by the wolf pac is an awesome intro song

7/18/2008 4:50:27 PM

kickoffs - welcome to the jungle (obvious choice, bit over done probably)
when my defense takes the field - Start the Riot bt Atari Teenage Riot, crazy ass song

7/18/2008 5:39:42 PM

Anyone have a good set of PS3 Sliders?

Got my roster installed last night. Nice to have all the names in place.

Next task is to put in some custom music and then practice passing. I'm another one of those that liked the "coaching" gameplay method in previous years.

7/18/2008 5:49:28 PM

Just downloaded and went through a quick game with the PS3 rosters. Not bad.

7/18/2008 6:49:07 PM

ha, just created a 5* campus legend and went to UGA as 5th string. holy shit their defense is fast. Up to #2 on the depth chart now.
