This all sounds really good. I'm hoping that I won't have to restart my association, but it's beginning to look that way unfortunately.

Personally I think they've heard the cries enough where if they would have had the time it would've been fixed "appropriately." I think the Draft Combine ate into precious time this year, plus the inclusion of MyPlayer... I mean the time needed to implement things like that... when you have to balance gameplay for that mode and all the other things like regular gameplay (NBA games) really wore their resources thin.

But that's just an educated guess.

As far as i'm aware they're locking them in at 5 but its impossible to get realistic stats and stats are also then ruined for the team that you play for. Personally i think 8 min quarters will give realistic stats all around.

I like 8 mins as well... but I think someone already mentioned that some of the objectives seem impossible to complete with such a large min. per quarter value.

Thanks for the updated defensive additions info, man!

Do you by any chance know when the patch comes to the PC?

But other objectives are impossible to complete in 5 mins. At least without breaking the flow of the game. Besides, with fatigue and proper coaching sub patterns, you're not going to play the entire game anyway. You're going to play approximately 70% of the full game time at best.

You only get 100 pts for the objective. You can easily make that up with overall good play. Easily. In fact, you can ignore the miniobjectives altogether and still come out with amazing scores. Locking the minutes is a poor decision and locking it at five minutes is even worse.

I didn't see anything in there about the responsiveness of the quick sub menu. I feel like I'm fighting with the D Pad just to get my subs in, "quick sub" is an oxymoron the way it is now.

Hope they just forgot to mention this and its addressed, I know many people were complaining about it.

How are we supposed to get 60 points in 20 minutes??? - Player Morale not working in association when changed(the person acts the same as before, no change whatsoever) - Cap room not changing when you edit a contract :| But at least they got other important things..sigh..but still no mention of if we have to restart association, although we know we don't for my player unless you want drills..and 5 minute quarters :|

Please include a fix for this (Cap space)in the patch. Much needed for association.

See, I don't agree that locking it is completely worse. What happens when you run into the guy that has astronomical numbers online because he plays 12 minutes, averages 45 ppg offline, and that translates to an insane amount of skill for the user to increase their stats, and thus, their overall? I believe a multiplier is used when calculating skill points.

I think they are screwed either way. Just something we have to consider for this year. If they give us the option to change it, we might just have to be aware of the possible consequences.

...and you guys know damn well there's that one guy who will continually play on 12 minutes, ever game, just to get his guy to a 99.
