To be fair you are making assumptions on what can/can't be looked at...

like fumbles, throw accuracy, and juke success ratings -- but it also allows us to rebalance certain core features such as recruiting logic, blocking

None of those say anything about coverage or pursuit. The majority of gameplay issues NEED Title Update (patch) 2. We have not released what is in Title Update 2, and will do so as soon as it's ready.

That's funny because I see it for sale everywhere in Canada or is Canada a part of the US now?

My final count is:

Default roster
12 teams A- or above
19 teams D+ or below
0 D- teams

With tuner year 6
2 teams A- or above
35 teams D+ or below
14 D- teams

Dynasty i started pre-tuner, year 6
1 team above A-
49 teams D+ or below
25 D- teams

The tuner is definitely an improvement in terms of teams' letter grades and progression is better. It still strays far from the default roster though. I also still see the computer doing things like loading up on QBs and other annoyances. So some good things, some things still bad. Looks like it'll take a few tuners/patches to get the dynasty to stay in line with default rosters.

The blog post itself says that it can fix gameplay issues. In fact, it only mentions dynasty issues as a secondary component. I guess I'm wrong for thinking that things like coverage and run defense fall under the umbrella of gameplay.

Glad to know that we will still end up waiting 6 weeks for you guys to release a weak patch that probably won't even come close to fixing the major gameplay issues. I just wish you had been more upfront about that being the case last week, and not left the impression that you were going to be able to do things differently this year.

Russ -

Were some things pertaining to Recruits and there progression not able to be tuned through the tuner sets? If so will they be fixed through the up coming patch? Things like WR with low juke,spin, elusivness etc..

Thanks!

In retrospect do you think there is anyway this could have been worded better? I don't know why people feel the need to be rude once they get behind a keyboard.

Fixed it, we can all be friends again.

It seems to me that people who spent their money on the game and even after multiple copies, cannot play the game due to circumstances outside their control. There were plenty of guys that had this problem. To me people who can't finish a game vs people who have a problem with recruits progressing, seems like the former is the more pressing matter. So, after a month of having the game some of us still can't even play a dynasty to even worry about progression. I just wanna play my game, that's all.

You can play the game.

You are CHOOSING not to because of progression issues. Your choice not to, doesn't mean you can't.
