NCAA Football 13 Patch #2 Out Now

The second patch for NCAA Football 13 which had been targeted for a late August release has come in early by arriving today. This update addresses some of the early issues reported by consumers regarding gameplay and Dynasty mode and adds the “Uniform Store” where missing ones and fixes will be provided for free with any secondary unis coming at a cost.

The store is currently empty/unavailable and it remains unknown when any additions or corrections will make their way out. Continue on for a look at what has been delivered in the latest patch for NCAA Football 13 and leave any thoughts in the comments!
