So did I, but after playing and testing I see now they play a big role.

I'm not the only one either. There's a reason this thread grew to 25 pages in 12 hours.

I was thinking to myself - "Hey, didn't this same problem happen recently in another NCAA title?"

Sure enough, using the trusty OS Search I found it. It was NCAA Football 10. The game shipped with the wrong roster on the disc and EA ended up putting a "new" roster out for the game via an EA Locker.

Here is the link to that announcement - http://www.operationsports.com/forum...ent-plans.html

I'm thinking a similar course of action could be necessary this year, but maaaan, I'd hate to be the roster editors and have to start over from scratch!!

Here is a key excerpt from the link above from Russell_Kiniry_EA -

It's unfortunate that a we've allowed a few things to get by onto the disc in NCAA 10, this kind of thing bother us just as much as you guys... We do have time to work on some solutions, and here is the update as promised: Rosters - A new file will be posted on EA locker to start and then we are planning on patching the online rosters.

That year the sliders were broke out of the box as well!

Here is another post dealing with NCAA 10 issues (I'm mainly interested in the roster issue). - http://www.operationsports.com/forum...k-happend.html

Also in researching I've found mention of this - "In NCAA '09, we had EA Locker rosters that were freezing the game..."

So this is not a new issue with NCAA, but hopefully one that can be remedied sooner rather than later..

Nice find JD. And thank you for posting in the thread on EA's site. The fact that you mentioned there were problems with other positions was the perfect follow-up to the first two posts.

EA won't know what hit 'em in the morning. Hopefully we can just get a fix.

I think it is time for that yearly vacation of theirs to wrap up... unless they are hiring! I'm available and would be more than happy.

I would take a job at 5$ an hour to let me test the product.

This needs to be addressed no matter what. They cant avoid acknowledging it because the issue was caught after naming rosters to their real life counterparts:

1. This issue doesnt only happen when naming a player, ive heard that it happens while editing other things too. Plus they put the option in for naming players, who said you are naming them their real life names.

2. The affects dynasty. Future "fake" recruits will be affected by this as well. They give us the option to edit all ratings during dynasty and then take it all away.

I am praying that this can be fixed by itself as a stand alone tuner so it wont affect other areas of gameplay. And that it can be fixed and salvage rosters.

As far as the rosters being salvaged, Im just not sure on it. Im think 25%-75% leaning towards not saving rosters.

For my amazon.com purchasing brothers. The trade in right now for a copy in good condition is $33.75. So if you did the $20 bonus thru amazon and the release date delivery. Your total was $57.98 on xbox, minus the bonus and the trade in. Your only out $4.23 and still would have a week to mail it in. Just passing some information along for those like me who are getting fed up with this games issues.

Geez. So in order for tendencies to be right absolutely nothing can be edited? If we play with unnamed rosters but give Denard dreads his tendencies will change? Sheesh...........
