You should have started a dynasty already and if you are in one, you don't have to worry as it won't matter either way (which means no restarting). I'm not sure why some people are freaking out about patch #1. Many online dynasties are having no problems. Some of the issues people are having with them have nothing to do with either patch. If you had a corrupted roster file, that file will become garbage after the patch. For you PS3 owners, just take Lanterix's PS3 file which has 116 of the 120 teams done (been like that for over 2 weeks and posted here in the rosters sub forum). If you want to wait for all 120 teams to be edited after the patch, keep waiting if you care about the 4 worst teams in the game. Otherwise, there was no reason to wait or keep waiting to start a dynasty (offline or online). Patch #2 has all the gameplay and slider fixes which won't be out for another month. You won't have to restart a dynasty when that comes out either.

QFT. I've been using DT's roster since he released it and edited a bunch of teams and never had a single problem.

I'll be back in around 9:30 - 10:00 EST, but if they didn't send me an email tonight, chances are I won't get one until sometime mid-day tommorrow at best.

Okay. Hopefully the email gets sent tonight.

Yeah, it's a bit of an annoyance having to switch it back, but if that's what I have to work with to get better games vs. the CPU, then that's what I will do.

I have been doing the same. With the CPU RBA slider at 80 you actually have to pay attention the run. I have also been experimenting with keeping it at 80 for my RB's but not using the speed burst. Results are okay. Sometimes I only use the speed burst to "hit the hole" which feels much more like the real game.

I also keep my QBA slider at 35 with some creative editing on the QB's. I up the QB power and decrease the awareness. Really good results so far. I am seeing all kinds of underthrows and wounded ducks.

So does anyone know if this fixed the slider issue or was just for the dynasty rosters?

Unfortunately I have to wait for Sony to approve the patch first. I just drove back into work (30 minute drive!) to check again and still nothing. I'm getting ready to head back home, so even if they approved the thing 5 minutes from now, it won't be up until I get back in tomorrow morning, so don't stay up all night checking. Of course, there is the chance I'm completely wrong about this whole thing and Sony will put it up in the middle of the night...

Thanks for the effort!!

I just don't understand why it takes 3 weeks to approve a patch for NCAA but GTA4 got one in less then a week. I know GTA is a bigger profile game but, all games should be treated equal IMO. This goes for both Sony and MS because they both are moving very slow with this whole process. It's like both companies are saying "it's just NCAA football, no one will care." At this rate will be lucky to see the second patch by October.

It is nice of you to come here and explain things though and thanks for driving back to work to check for it.

I bet Adam (OMT) is glad we have another company to vent our displeasure towards for the moment!

There are a number of things that may contribute to that difference. We didn't find out about the roster issue until launch day, GTA may have known about the issue beforehand and had the patch in 3rd party testing before it came out. It's also possible Sony and MS just had less on their plate at the time. If they got 10 games submitted the day before we sent them our patch, they have to get through those 10 games first.
