The players and think the patch is a good thing.
While Head Coach 09 is a relatively stable game, there were a few major bugs that effected those playing career mode. Chief among these bugs were the injury bug and the salary cap bug. Among the other bugs were too many fumbles, especially late in games, and too much inconsistency in the kicking game.
Josh Looman, lead designer of NFL Head Coach 09, has been very active in the community tracking down the bugs and getting them fixed. Along with the bugs mentioned, his team was able to get to several other annoyances including adding a feature that gives the head coach more control in the two minute drill.
The patch has been initially released for the Xbox360 and should be available for the PS3 in a week.
Here is a full list of what the patch fixes:
- Fixed the Bug that caused players to remain injured when you go into play creator.
- Fixed the ability to call plays within the two minute drill.
- Fixed the Brett Favre career stats issue.
- Fixed the ability for us to change team philosophies in the roster update. If you have the previous roster update, you should see some major changes in ratings.
- Fixed the bug that caused low rated players to ask for a very large deal when re-signing.
- Fixed the Draft Day trading issue that allowed the user to force every team to trade their pick to another team.
- Fixed the ability to change a QB to WR and change him back to QB again.
- Fixed the bug where teams would not kick a FG at the end of the half.
- Fixed fumbles. We put in a fix that should make these much more realistic.
- Fixed CPU fatigue subbing. Running backs will now come out of the game more quickly and be replaced by their backup.
- Fixed FG distance. Kickers will be able to kick longer FGs now.
- Added the option to turn off CPU Downloaded Plays.
- Fixed the bug that was causing RFAs to not show up after year 1.
- Fixed the bug that wouldn't take a player's current salary into account when figuring out if you had enough cap room to re-sign him.
- Fixed a big issue that we believe was causing 99% of the crashes or more.
