I'd love to see the Bears daygame glitch get fixed... kinda lame always playing at dusk.

As you say...alot of glitches and small issues are NOT even noticeable to most of us..its WHEN someone comes along and makes a big stink about it that tends to spread like cancer to other fellow gamers that fall for this evil deed. Its sad that one person can spark up a HUGE mess and that issue is usually a tiny issue that can be fixed with some slider adjustments or better play calling. The simple fact of the matter is this...dont fall for what other people say..this is true with gaming review sites as well..take reviews as a grain of salt because only YOU can be the true judge of a game or a glitch in a game..too many are influenced by others and frankly.****ins their enjoyment of gaming and lose focus on what gaming is ment to be for us..which is to enjoy the game for what it is and remember that its not gonna be no where near true to life.. people have lost grips with what gaming is really about and rather have caught that nasty cancer of so called "glitch hunting"... I've said it a zillion times... "glitch hunters" like Apex or Rmoody ruin the excitement for many many gamers..because they litterly dissect a game down to every last detail, make a huge stink about it and post it on forums,etc and many many innocent gamers are robbed of their enjoyment of videogames because they fall victim to the "glitch hunting syndrome" ... sad but true story and i mean no disrespect to Apex or Rmoody even though i may have bashed them two guys many times in the past but the truth of the matter is they have totally lost GRIPS with the meaning of being a gamer. You know what though..i only speak up in hopes to get people to get back to reality here. I think this addiction of looking for glitches ruins fun for so many. Im just grateful that i have the mental capability to understand and realize that no game will be perfect and that asking for a game to mimic the real deal is just so out of the question right now with our technology capabilities with videogames... hopefully this post will open some eye's up and let some captive gamers ..once again enjoy some gaming, free from the chains of glitch hunting.

Are the complaints valid? I think so. Are the glitches hidden, and requires "hunting"? I don't think so. You have your opinions, and I have mine. Simple.

But, who is really contributing to the gaming industry more? Who is really holding the developers accountable? Who is really making the industry better?

And as far as "captive" gamers, that's totally false. NOONE (including developers and YOU) is being held hostage. Noone is forcing anyone to buy a game, visit a forum, or believe anything anyone says.

Ian, thanks for the videos and fixes.

Josh mentioned trying to fix the franchise QB yardage and RB TD stats, but will anything be done for the really low Yards/Carry that many RBs have (such as 100 carries for 250 yards)?

Also, will the tackle stats be looked at?

i dont think the sliders are broken. I dont know why thats being addressed. I love all the things being worked on and it should make the experience that much better. But what sucks is that when sliders get fixed, then we have to come up with new sliders to make the game enjoyable again. I guess they felt the run sliders are borken. I disagree and have the run game working great for both sides

i want to see the int's returned for TD fixed...glad thats coming

I'm with you on this one. I have sliders set JUUUST right at the moment. Great running game for both HUM and CPU. I didn't think there was anything wrong with em.

Oh well, I will adjust accordingly.

i think the sliders talk is for online. i havent played online so i cant confirm, but i dont think you can change sliders in online franchise, so that's what the big issue is.
