How you're getting that confused with some sort of "tips" or "advice" on how to play the game is beyond me. And to answer your question of "How does SCEA not know if this works with current franchises", the answer is quite simple... Code in a video game is not a simple process where you just open up a computer screen and type in "Fix franchise bug", and voila!, it's fixed. It's a complicated process in which every little thing you do pulls a thread and can open up a problem elsewhere. So until they're finished with all the bug fixes and content update associated with the patch, there can be no definitive answer as to what will be effected. Hope that helps.

Great post, but I can't help but remember the great Inigo Montoya, who said "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

Who cares about your existing franchise. As long as it fixes the franches I'd rather start anew. It's not as if my old franchise will kill me if it's not fix lol...

you know the reason they posted this "childly post" is because a lot of people keep on whining if they are really working on this or not, if the devs care or whatever, so they post this to the kids just for them to know. If this is right or wrong, I don't know and I don't care...

What I meant in terms of being vague was the release of the patch. It could be tomorrow or two months from now.

The other was about it looking like a tutorial on how to play. For example:

"Don't backload contracts that are less than $5M per year or less than 4 years."

or

"Make sure any player who is decent (75 ovr, 75 potential) are being offered arbitration. Also, make sure free agents were offered arbitration by the CPU and teams didn't receive compensation picks for players to whom they didn't offer arbitration."

There are verbs in these statemens, so it sounds like Russell is suggesting us to do these after the patch is released.

Coming from the source, I'm certainly offended.

Well...
It kind of looks like he was pulling the fixes from memos from one dev to another.
It's just a heads up Ramone is giving us...not the actual fix list for the patch I would say...

Hey hex. Where do you read it won't effect current franchises when its released?

Fair enough... personally, I could tell he was just writing shorthand in a way and perhaps inverting incorrect verbs for a couple things. I thought it was fairly obvious that in the middle of a list of fixes, he wasn't throwing in a couple of pieces of advice for us, but hey, to each their own.

As for the release of the patch being vague, they don't know when it's going to be done. It's not like they're being coy or purposely vague. And I would work under the assumption that it's going to be a LOT sooner than 2 months from now as one of your possibilities stated. I highly doubt he would make a post about it like that, with the season starting tomorrow, and then not have it ready for 2 months. This board would be going nuts.

So logically, I'd say a couple weeks, and just hope for sooner.
