Sports gaming blog Pastapadre has the details on the upcoming patch for NCAA Football 10. This is the second patch for the college football game; the first was released in July and addressed several major issues, including the game's problematic roster as well as the use of paid DLC boosts in Online Dynasty mode. This patch addresses a host of gameplay, slider, and TeamBuilder issues, the full list of which is below:
