How about those PAC 12 logos being correct on the field!!

I mean this was something people were posting about back in March. EA, the PAC 12 logos are reversed on the fields. Please fix..

Good to see Ben got the logo correct at mid-field for FSU

It is like a never ending saga with the same drama year in and year out. It has simply become clear they do not test their games, patches, or tuners. I have gotten to the point I am literally afraid to install any patches or tuners from this company and getting really close to writing them off all together. I mean look at the issues we have this year: Rosters, Can't edit players without tendencies changing Deep Ball is automatic (Poor safety play) Lighting and degradation is broken for those who have installed the patch Possible issue with the pass coverage slider (broken) What next EA? I really would like another company to begin developing a college football game.

It seems pretty apparent that EA doesn't care much about the end comsumer. It's literally a job to these programmers, not much different than somebody completing a powerpoint presentation at their workplace. You feel sympathetic when you realize these are just normal, regular, college educated dudes who got a job a EA and aren't necessarily as talented as we want them to be, but are good enough to churn out a game every year that makes the company a lot of money. Can't blame these guys for being as bad at their jobs as a lot of other "educated morons" are in all walks of life.

That being said, if i could actually bet money on this, i would have no problem putting down a grand that if another company made a football game, NCAA/Madden would outsell it 10-1. It's us that created this issue if you think about it.

I refuse to say that I caused the issue. It's not like EA said before the game came out that all these issues would be in the game and we still bought it. Not trying to argue with you, but just saying.

Once again, early adopters are treated as beta testers. We see this every year, from almost every sports game, and it really gets my blood boiling. As early adopters, we pay top buck for these games full of bugs which make them almost unplayable in some cases.

Unfortunately, the cat is out of the bag, and I imagine there is no going back, I just wish the developers would level with us and admit this is how things will be from now on and offer better incentives for being unpaid beta testers. Otherwise, more and more of us are going to stop paying $60 for a broken game, when you can wait for the patches to come out and pay ~$40.

You're right, i might have been overstating that a little. It's like saying the victim was "asking for it" in a murder situation lol.

I just mean that overall, money is the motivation, not our forum or our opinions. Sad, but true. As long as the game is playable, it's good enough. And too many of us (me included) grade this game on a very generous curve because of nostalgia and love of football in general.

The best part is all of these game review sites giving this game such high scores. You CAN NOT give a buggy mess of a game such high scores. The literally "fixed" zone coverage by making super LB's and having DB's slide in front of an open receiver.

And now this. smh

Just received confirmation that this issue is being looked into heavily by the guys at EA. Be patient--there is a sizable amount of testing with different design divisions to identify the issue and look into a possible fix.

Could you check to see if they are looking into deep ball issue as well?
