Well maybe it will still be patched...
While news broke that the recently-released patch for Electronic Arts’ NCAA Football 08 on the PlayStation 3 would not be released for the Xbox 360, 5WG has learned that the situation has changed since then, and a patch for the 360 might indeed be forthcoming. Apparently, e-mails have been flying and discussions are currently being held at the game’s development studio, EA Tiburon, as the NCAA team is trying to determine whether the patch, which fixes various gameplay issues such as the number of fumbles and defensive backs reacting to (and intercepting) passes that they shouldn’t be able to see, can be applied to the Xbox 360 version after all. It was made clear that the team wants to apply this patch to both next-gen consoles, and it was designed expressly for that purpose. After all, the Xbox 360 version has sold more copies of the game than the PS3 and PS2 versions combined, and they took pains to point out that they had no desire to alienate any of their customers, nor do they wish to be perceived as playing favorites. Saying that “technical issues” were the source of the problem, it’s not a stretch to infer that these issues - which were overcome by the less online-centric PS3, are likely due at least in part to Microsoft’s stringent approval process regarding game updates and patches. While the notion of release-then-patch is something that was best left in the PC world, there’s no doubt that the ability to improve a game, post-release, is advantageous to consumers - so long as the games are not rushed out the door and studios aren’t selling incomplete games to its customers. Sony and EA got together and solved this quickly - now, we wait to see if Microsoft and EA can do the same, giving its customers the best in-game experience possible. If not, the largest audience for one of the most successful games of the summer might be left in the dark. |

I really wish one of these companies would step up to the plate and make me want to buy a next-gen system. I'm currently enjoying my PS2 more than ever before.

True; forgot about that. Still, I had no problems with the PS3 demo -- I still need to be convinced that my brain can process those extra 30 frames each second!
Anyway, throw us PS3-ers a bone!

Apparently the 360 version can't be patched (From Pastatpadre)
Update 11/1: I have done some digging and found out that due to some technical conflicts there will be no patch released for the 360 version. Why I am giving these people money? Why? |
