Why not expect it to be fix. There excuse all this generation has been the limitations in the program well the excuse is off the table. It's good to put those expectations on them with not forgetting the past.

If this is an anomaly, it's a pretty damned nasty one.

Including this weekend and my time with the demo, I have seen two CPU fumbles. Both by the QB. I tried to run a WR reverse and got planted and he fumbled, but I have yet to see a fumble by anyone other than a QB.

Another "EA oversight"? Fumbles are in the game. "EA Sports. If it's in the game...." ahhhh nevermind

I have played 13 online rank games and I have only seen 1 fumble occur outside of the QB hands.

I stand by my statement from a few days ago that this game is incomplete and that's just my opinion.

I'm enjoying a lot of things the game offers but some of the core fundamentals don't work properly namely penalties. What is football without holding calls??

Hopefully a Release Day Patch comes out at midnight to address these issues

I agree I hate that I'm saying this but if the patch get these major issues down pack we have one of the best football games in a long time. It's sad that the game was manufacturer in this state.

For those complaining about how bad the defense is, it all has to do with how bad the programming is for the cpu in general. The cpu hasn't been able to run the ball all generation, to make an effective run game EA makes user players get blocked for 4+ seconds. This allow for the cpu runner to run 7+ yds before anyone gets close to him. The cpu qb is not good at making quick decisions or reading the defense hence elite pass rushing lines get stifled by below average ones leaving the qb time to make a decision. They also make elite cb's get beat badly by average wr's. I just went into practice mode with UGA vs Ga State, I picked a 3 man rush for Ga State defense. The Ga State defenders got my qb(UGA) on average of 3-4 seconds. I then went and used South Carolina defense with a 4 man rush against Ga State offensive line and it took them on average 4 seconds to get the qb. Soo the worst team on the game was able to pressure my qb with a 3 man rush better than the best dline on the game was able to pressure the cpu qb. EA programming = FAIL!

I play with South Carolina almost exclusively and with Heisman plus some sliders I'm getting to the QB in a reasonable/expected amount of time. The only minor frustration I've noticed is that it's difficult to get many sacks with Clowney (or more difficult than it should be in certain situations) because the QB's almost always move to the right and he's coming from the left.

And a little off-topic from this post but has anyone else noticed when you're controlling the DE and the CPU runs an option play that you DE automatically stands up into the QB contain read. I can't seem to force him to go to the RB. That's annoying... especially when you've got a beast like Clowney just sitting there ready to swallow a guy up and he's doing the pee-pee dance as the RB slide right past him.

Come on now. When's the last time the penalty sliders worked in any EA game? Nobody should buy this game expecting there to be penalties in it. As sad as that is, it's true, and everyone here should know that going into buying the game. I don't totally get where all the hate for this years game is coming from. It's like all the previous NCAA games, only a little better. Now it's up to you decide if that's good enough for you or not. It is for me. I'm having lots of fun with it so far, and will only enjoy it more once the rosters come out.

Because it's an EA product and they're gonna find a reason to complain.
