I think the answer is simple. EA has full control of the NCAA license and is the only company that can make an NCAA game. They set the bar by taking control of the license and eliminating any competition. I don't think people would be so upset if this didn't happen every single year with every single patch release. We simply want to play college football and EA is the only company allowed to make a college football game.

So if I want to play college football, I must buy this piece of trash. I think everyone is just fed up because EA has eliminated freedom of choice and continues to provide a bug ridden product to it's customers.

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.

i understand and it make total sense with QB but i`m still not seeing how different the rest of the position would play... a Pass rusher vs Balance.. does anyone really saw any other difference rather than the QB position?

I see your point but wouldnt it be smarter to wait a month or two til they iron out the bugs before you bought the game. If this happens every year and you know it happens every year, why not just wait until the first patch before buying the game?

I'm sure this has been asked and answered but no way I'm going to search through all these pages fast enough to find it: Does this only effect games that are played or if I simed a season in dynasty mode are the simed stats going to be screwed up as well?

Simmed stats aren't too far off from what I'm seeing.

Well this is disappointing. Just spent all this time fixing MSU's roster and was JUST about to start my dynasty.
