Last month, we reported a glitch in NCAA Football 07 that literally broke the running game for any offense. Many short yardage gains were effectively erased by the bug, which marked a player down at the point of initial contact versus that of forward momentum or actually being tackled. The response from fans was quick and heated, demanding a fix to the problem.
Today, EA Sports confirmed that a newly fixed UMD for NCAA has been created and is now available for fans of the game. According to a spokeswoman, the company was able to create a fix for the title shortly after the bug was discovered. The reason for the delay was because it needed to be resubmitted for testing to ensure that the patch worked and then needed to return from the manufacturing plants.
EA Sports also provided instructions for owners to receive their replacement copies of the game. According to an official statement, owners are to send their original UMD without the boxed package to the following address with a note including their name, address, email address and phone number:
EA Customer Warranty
Attn: NCAA PSP
209 Redwood Shores Parkway
Redwood City, CA 94065
According to the statement, once the UMD has arrived at EA, owners will have to wait approximately up to 10 business days before they receive their replacement. However, they will also get a little something extra for their trouble. "As a thank you for you patience we will also include a coupon for use at the EA Store at http://eastore.ea.com that provides you with $15 off your next purchase at the EA Store as well as FREE shipping on that order. We appreciate your support and apologize for the inconvenience that this issue has caused."
So cheer up college football fans, because the running game is going to get some fresh legs for this year's title.
