This sounds like it's something EA can only mess with under the hood, so I guess cross your fingers and pray

Why are people thanking EA for selling you a broken game at release? This pathetic gesture is the reason why EA can keep doing this. Everyone gets understandably angry and the second a patch is released they act like EA is doing them a favor. Did you read that EA update? He was beating around the bush saying why the games are never fixed by release date, he didn't give any actual answers besides "it's hard to program games." I have friends that are testers that could've caught those bugs. With all that said my main point is EA put this game tuning feature in without even making it public (how often does that happen?) They sell you a broken game, then act like they have come to save the day with a feature that they didn't even feature!

So in the "tens-of-thousands of hours of QA" they couldn't advance dynasty mode through 15 years and study the results? It should jump out right away that something is wrong when they see I-AA West blowing out Marshall. I think that would only take an hour to figure out.

True, especially when you consider that they should be able to pull the data out and do simple comparisons from year to year. In year 15, the individual ratings for the freshman should still look like the freshman from year 1; the sophmores should still look like the sophmores from year 1, etc. If they tune the game to play correctly with the default rosters, then all they need to do is make sure that progression keeps the rosters as a whole looking pretty much the same. The calculations behind the scenes may be a little complex, but the concept is actually very simple.

Can someone explain to me what "Playaction Craziness" means? Cause EA sure as hell didn't go into detail as to what that means.

Like another poster said, hopefully it means we'll finally be able to complete a playaction pass without having to worry about our blocking breaking down. B/c of this, I don't even do alot of playaction in games. It's so broken its ridiculous.

In the playbooks we have certain type of playaction passes than after the fake the QB runs 40 yards back and then throws the ball
