How long does a patch typically take? A couple days week a month I have no clue anyone know from previous years

Looks at "potential resolution" skeptically. I think this issue is bigger than we realize, hopefully im wrong.

I tested this out on 44 games, default all american, 9 minute quarters over the past week now.

It is a very clear pattern when playing with named rosters and EA default roster.

Kept playing with the same teams.

Ohio St vs Arkansas
Michigan vs Notre Dame

Pryor and Robinson were a night and day difference. And so was the pass rushing. With names the DTs got better pash rush and way more sacks then the DEs.

On EA default roster, DEs got more sacks because they actually rushed the passer.

You can tell they do that because of how recruits turn out VS actual players when you start the game. In years past, the "Play Now" ratings were much higher than the "actual total ratings Dynasty mode team select" ratings were. Remember? I know what you're getting at, but BUG is different than "we didn't realize that just editing names would remove our roster tweaks".

Your sentences and thoughts are convoluted.

How is that not a BUG!? I go and edit someone's shoes and his player tendency complete reverses! Not to mention, it's obvious now that a player tendency is KEY to the way a player acts on the field. A player is playing the opposite way of his tendency.

That's a BUG!

Take it easy, semantics aside, i was agreeing with you. I didn't program the game, just offering a possible explanation that at least makes 50% sense....

I think it has to do with the new coding Madden 12 has this year. Truth be told Madden and NCAA share the same engine and coding.

This year Madden 12 has player tendancies. Therefore tendancies have to matter. With that said, that is why in NCAA 12, what ever the tendancy says on the main screen, that is how that player is going to play.
