Spending countless hours trying to find a way around the slider issue, is ridiculous. Complete game killer right there, at least for me.

But I've never had a QB only have incompletions due to INTs, nor even come close to it.

Good for you.

But the fact remains that the sliders are broken and must be patched.

Here's a thought................................just play the damn game and quit obsessing over stuff that doesn't really matter. Sure it would be nice if there wasn't some bugs, but every game has them.

Spend some quality time with the game and accept it for what it is and you just might find yourself having some........wait for it................................................ .................................................. .................................................. .......FUN?

Tried that. But without working sliders for the CPU, my skills are just so good, that winning every single game, just isn't as ''fun'' as I thought it would be. Now, I could go online and play against other people, but playing against 15 year olds, also isn't as fun as it was made out to be.

So, I'll wait it out, and see if the 2nd patch will include my ''fun'' factor. Otherwise, the game stinks. I do appreciate your attempt to make the game less of a stinker for me, though. There is some kind folk in the world after all.

Let's all keep some perspective here. Yes, the game has some bugs that should have been tested and caught before the game was pressed. I used to be in the video game/computer field, so I know that companies aren't testing enough these days. They rely too much on patches since they can. Issuing a patch in my day was a big failure (but, we did it sometimes) and the team caught heck for it. But, to be fair, these games and systems are much more complex than when I used to do it. But, it is all relative.

What I am personally happy to see is EA coming on here and addressing these issues to those of us on OS unlike in the past. They also have already made one patch to address the rosters issue, and they may be able to address some of the other glaring issues in another patch. I thought they were pretty quick about it, and I hope that MS gets it out this week. I am sure MS is quite a bureaucracy however.

Personally, I think that if some of the major bugs and a few gameplay issues are addressed we will have a solid game this year. It is already better than last years version to me, but to be honest with you, I have had more fun on older versions on the Xbox and PS2. If they don't address these issues in a patch, especially special teams, and completion % imo, then we shouldn't buy the product next year without trying it out first.

I got my piss and vinegar out yesterday, and so feel much better. I do have a question about this rumored second patch. Adam, of course, has said that he can't really comment on this at the moment, and I understand the reasons for that. Has it actually been confirmed by anyone in the know that a second patch is actually being worked on, that it will actually come out at some point? I ask because Adam's post didn't seem to provide a solid answer, and Ian's post about the overwhelmingly positive response and the inaccuracy of the "knee-jerk reactions" leads me to believe that there very well may not be a second, gameplay related patch to deal with things like completion percentages, handicapped defense, etc.

Please correct me if I'm wrong and there has been a hard confirmation--this is strictly and information-seeking post, not a flaming post.
