Sorry, I didn't mean to come off as harsh. I'm just pretty upset about this whole situation.

You could be right. That's a very real possibility.

Furthermore, is this issue in Madden should you edit someone? God, this is ugly.

in theory youre right, but the tendency label overrides the ratings based on what everyone is seeing.

That way they can have a guy who is fast BUT is not going to scramble as much and will still use his arm. Editing makes the player revert back to what his actual ratings dictate. DONE AND DONE.

im not sure this is the case because why would it stay the same in the edit screen and why when i edit a balanced qb on teambuilder and give him denard robinson's ratings would he become a scrambler. its a bug.

Well I am sure now that they know it is a problem in NCAA 12 and they share the same code, they going to be testing it out in Madden 12. And if it is a problem in Madden 12 too, they probably will just do a release day patch for that game.

I'm actually kind of surprised this is the first gamekiller this year, i'm surprised it wasn't something in dynasty mode. Lost that prop bet.

This means:
a) Named rosters as they are now are unusable
b) Dynasties that have been started will have to be restarted (RTG and OD too)
c) Ratings (possibly) don't tie into tendencies as much as would be hoped for, which if that's true, the new recruits are based solely on ratings and don't get the benefit of having somebody tweak tendencies
d) EA couldn't find menstruation on white panties.

Yes the tendency label seems to trump all. For Denard's scrambling ratings to be implemented correctly, he first has to be listed as a "scrambler."

Then yes, it appears it's a bug.
