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.

Hard hitters wont go for the bit hits and stuff like that as much as well. Stuff like that could happen not sure if it is but the fact guys are saying the game plays different with default rosters over named rosters tell me they are having an affect.

Now I brought up the fact before that if the AI looks at this trate setting at all when it does progression it could possibly mess that up as well. EA would have to answer that though. They dont seem to be chiming in on this thread at all though.

I was wondering if that might contribute to the bump and run coverage being so prevalent, seeing as how the CPU thinks it has a team of "balanced" or "hard hitter" dbs and presumably fewer "coverage".

And i think EA's absence is incredibly conspicuous. Either they are too embarrassed or too afraid of ignorant backlash. I guess they could just not care that much, but i'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

This may be the case, or it may not. It would certainly be nice to have an official word one way or the other.

In the mean time, I know that if this were The Show's forums there'd be a calculus project in progress to figure out which ratings to alter and to which degree in order to balance things back out. They're masters at turning problems into tips and workarounds over there.

I keep hearing great things about that game "MBL The Show" but its only PS3 and I don't own one of them. I could afford one but I have never wanted one for some reason I don't know why :P....

But honestly I lost my interest in Baseball during the 1994 strike and I have never gotten it back. I watch the Tigers if they make it to the playoffs but thats it.

I would at least like to hear "we are working" "timeline".... that's all i need..

Just out of curiosity, is anyone doing small rerates on players(specifically the top 25 scrambling QBs) to get them scrambling again? AKA barely turning them into balanced QBs. If so will you be roster sharing?

im pretty sure even the genuises at the show couldnt come up with a solution. so youre talking 2/3 of players who have been affected so you edit the thousands of players to get their tendency back, then you calculate how to balance those changes with the 1/3 who werent affected. there is no true fix or workaround.

it absolutely affects rb's because you end up with players not playing to their ratings.

It's more of a coding issue. Those can't be fixed with tuner updates. Besides, EA Sports already stated that a patch would be looked into for addressing this particular problem.

The bigger problem is a patch will not be issued to just address this one issue. They'll want as many fixes as possible when releasing another patch. It's not gonna be about this named roster glitch only.

I wish it was as simple as a tuner update fix but it's not gonna happen. It's gonna take a patch & we don't know how long or how well that's gonna go. It's ridiculous!
