Out-****ing-standing.

Great job. It's amazing how fast and swift you all at EA have responded to this.

How does the game get through testing without roster editing, which is probably the first thing 50% of people do with the game, being tested? Seriously, you guys have gotten so sloppy with your testing in the last two years. People shouldn't be finding MAJOR bugs within a few hours of the game being out. So how does a person with no internet access get the patch so that they can have an actual working game? Are they just screwed? I don't beleive you can copy over patch downloads on the PS3. It's absurd this is even an issue.

I love your post!! Exactly my point. We have found these flaws within 1 hour of playing the game but the entire staff @ EA missed this?!?!?

Congrats EA, you've decided to slap a fresh coat of paint on a Yugo and now you're going to tell me it'll be a Lexus when ALL the patches are released? Way to go!

I edited one team, USC, and my game froze. I edited about 20 players for various reasons, but only one team. It happened when I switched a player's position. It froze right after I hit "keep changes". I recall seeing the roster screen saying something like "no player data". I get the sense the edit bug is tied to the depth chart bug, which is why EA is fixing both is the first patch.

Since my freeze, I've gone back into the rosters and made several other edits. I've edited players on the UGA, UF, Ohio State, Miami and Auburn roster. No freezes during those edits, but today I had a Campus Legend freeze.

P.S. Still pushing for a double numbers patch.

No, they are not. However, they still market a game that has the SAME bug year after year after year. Now if that's not testing I don't know what is!

What's frustrating is that most of these issues aren't actual bugs. The roster and slider issues are the "bugs".

My problem is that they chose to program/dumb down the defense in favor of this silly wide open game play. That's a decision that the company made to be able to deliver the "wide open gameplay".

That's why I'm so frustrated. They're not bugs and they didn't slip by the testers. It's programmed the way they want it to be programmed. Unfortunately, it's terrible for the sim gamers.

Pretty much sums up how I feel. This one is definitely going back to Blockbuster. If you're looking for a fun game just to mess around with it's fine. But if you're looking to have a realistic presentation of college football you're out of luck.

There's no difference between any of the teams. Every team shouldn't have wide open gameplay because not every team plays like Texas Tech or Hawaii! I had hope for this game too. I thought if they could just fix the TO's from 08 this game would be really good but that turned out to not be the case. I should've known that when I heard wide open gameplay as a selling point it was going to be trouble.

Why can't they make teams to play like they really do? This year you can play Rice vs. USC and you can't tell the difference. What's the point of having 100+ teams when they all play the same? The ratings also seem to be purely cosmetic. I just don't get it.

Oh yeah and BTW IGN gave this game the customary 8.4 rating! HA what a joke.
