I've beta tested so many computer games over my last 20+ years of computer gaming that I have learned to try and post the facts and not be to judgemental :P ... though I must admit in some other posts on this years game I have been a little judgemental, I'm only human.

I still wish they would make this game on the PC though. They are so much more powerful than the current consoles now and there is no wait for 2 weeks for MS or Sony to approve patches, blah blah, we could have had a patch within a day or 2 for a PC game.

Any way you shake it the roster glitch has you by the throat and is taking a large dump on your face!

Are we sure about that? so even if you don't edit the recruits will still be messed up?

Yes that is a fact. Played Temple in the sixth year of my dynasty and the QB who I did not touch or edit at all scrambled arounf 15 times on me. He had a 64 or 65 speed rating.

This sounds like a simple fix. Its gotta be a coding error.

Guys, don't forget the fact that they could conceivably fix this with a tuner instead of a patch.Tuners do not have to go through the Microsoft approval process.

Now, last year they released tuners at the same time as patches. I have no idea why, but it's possible they could release them separately this year.

Okay, I'm the farthest thing from an EA apologist, but if these are the known changes, then it seems possible to work within/around these limitations.

It seems like the only real, tangible effect of this tendency switch would happen at the QB position. Regardless of whether HB or WR were labelled "speed" or "balanced," they would still be just as fast or agile as their ratings suggest, so I'm not sure what difference the tendency makes there. With DBs, they'd still be just as good or bad at man/zone/tackling as they were before, and coaches actually control the global defensive tendency to go for knockout blows.

Can anyone demonstrate that the change in tendency at these other positions has a clear and significant impact on how players play to or away from their ratings? If not, then this might not be such a big deal.

Tuner updates aren't going to fix this problem! This is a more complicated issue for a tuning update to take care of.

Not sure how you know that for a fact. I believe, if I recall correctly, last year tuner updates were used to alter progression in dynasty.
