The NCAA Community has been patiently awaiting a way to get the edited rosters working. I just got word from EA today that they have been working on patches for NCAA 09 and are all set to deploy 1 of 2 in 5-10 days. This is great news and it's all because of the Community and it's involvement in trying to resolve this issue.
Here is what EA's Adam Thompson had to say:
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.
Special thanks to CDJ, 21SEC, and Fairdale Kings for helping us track this down.
; The roster issue is a big one as that's one of the things everyone looks to do after they boot up thier brand new copy. The guys over at NCAASTRATEGIES.com have been working with EA in trying to nail down the problem. But that's not the only bug that people have been encountering since picking up the game. Below are some more:
- Opponent can't see Alternate Jersey worn by home team.
- Yellow Zones drop back too far
- Shoeless players on the sidelines
- Field Goals not counting if it hits the crossbar and goes through
If something happens during the game or you see something wrong like a missed FG that wasn't counted. See if you can take a screenshot or use the video feature and send it to me so I can pass it on. Also if you are encountering problems with anything that is NCAA related then leave a comment on this article. Let's help EA patch these things up.
