LOL, I'm not trying to say that they should advertise "No Morphing" or something like that. What I'm saying is that no morphing, sliding, ice-skating, etc. should just be the standard. EA sports is all about "it's in the game". Well, I don't see footballs going through players' stomachs & into their hands when I'm watching college football on a Saturday night. But that's just one example of problems in here. It's the engine that's wrong with the game. Anyways, I'm getting off-topic. Let's just hope this roster problem is fixed soon.

Well, I remember Playmakers and I having this conversation a couple years ago when he discovered how important the tendency label is. It is a bigger deal than most people think. The ratings decide how effective the player is once he has made the decision, but it is the tendency itself that determines when and how the player makes the decision in the first place.

Example: You can play around with QB ratings and if you give a guy high enough throw accuracy and other key ratings, even if he has high speed and acceleration, he will be labeled balanced by the game. Now, even though he could have higher scramble important ratings than other qbs in the game that are labeled scramblers, not only will he run a lot less, but when he does run he will usually run in a straight line and get tackled. A qb who is labeled a scrambler, even though he might be slower and less agile than the other qb will run more often and make better decisions when running.

Think of it this way
Ratings = ability
Tendency = logic

The problem is that this bug takes away the link between the two. It takes away your ability to trigger the correct tendency based on ratings... so even though Robinson is a beast for scrambling ratings wise, he doesn't have the logic that tells him to run, avoid being tackled, etc.

Guys come on...you all know that once this issue is patched up you will be enjoying the game again

It definitely sucks that we are inconvenienced by this, but at the end of the day in a couple months none of this is going to matter.

I love the passion of our community.

That is very true, I am just upset that the game came out over a week ago and I still have to wait for however long it takes for them to fix these bugs (the custom pb one too), before I can really settle down and play the game the way I want to play it, thats all.

You can either trade the game in, or wait it out and enjoy the game minus the rosters.

Honestly we get it--people are angry about this. Don't get me wrong, I am too. Sadly we can't really do anything about it other than bring it to EA's attention which it already has been. They are aware of the issue and working on a patch.

Not quite sure why everyone keeps beating a dead horse on this.

At this point, you're right. I just hope maybe NEXT year EA can avoid something similar.

Every year i think it'll get better, or i wait for a patch only to get sidetracked and not end up really getting my money's worth out of it. This year, i'm playing right thru this issue, realism be damned. The game is still fun to me, honestly, it's too bad this is happening but i haven't really noticed this while i've been playing. Ignorance is bliss you know.
