Starting out has not been Michigan's issue the last couple years (5-1 and 5-0 last two years). Its only winning one or two games in conference games that hurt them.

With that said, I think they will be a legit 8 win team this year.

College football season is about a month away. My issue is with the uncertainty regarding the hard work put into named rosters by many. The unknown is frustrating, because at least named rosters. Could be enhanced during this waiting time for the patch if it could be applie.

If I were a roster namer, that is exactly what I would be doing, just slowly without heat, updating and perfecting the rosters. So that the day thae patch comes out, these guys can roll out the perfect rosters and make for an incredibly awesome day. My guess (and Im no CPU nerd by any stretch) is that this is some sort of coding issue and will not affect the roster files in any way... So hopefully Buck and Gator are just or will to decide to just tweak and fix what they made. =)

I called customer service today because my Online Dynasty will not advance past week 1. They said it is a known issue and that the problem is with the rosters. I eventually got sent to a higher up guy for tech support and he told me that they have no ETA on when a patch will be available. His exact words were, "I'd like to say it would just be another week but we really don't know how long it will take.".

He suggested to me deleting my roster file and then trying to advance the week but since I used a roster that removed guys like Terrelle Pryor it won't work.

Lastly, and hopefully this isn't a repeat, but on either NCAA 09 or on 10 this exact same thing happened. Once EA release a patch, it made all rosters that had been made pre-patch obsolete. I hope that doesn't happen again.

I actually look at this "glitch" differently. If I was EA and I keep getting lawsuits thrown at me by college athletes trying to get paid off of their likelyness in the game, I would put this so called glitch in the game on purpose. If michigan's QB without a name is a scrambler with the same number as the real michigan QB, I understand why his tendancy would change when you add a name to him. Because if an editor names him he will give him the real persons name meaning michigans QB has an arguement that he is in a video game and SHOULD be paid for his likelyness. But when the tendancy changes from scambler to balanced, now Denard Robinson doesn't have a case because in real life he's a scrambler and on the game the player is a balanced QB.

Long story short, I don't care about this so called glitch because I don't play play now games vs the cpu so after 5 seasons of dynasty I have all fake players anyway.

***edit*** I haven't had any issues with freezing are anything like that so I guess I'm one of the lucky ones

The bug still impacts you because all those fake players are impacted by the bug and between the time they are recruited and the time they appear on your roster many of their tendencies flip. So you will have players rated for scrambling that have a bugged tendency and don't scramble and pocket rated passers that take off all the time. This bug impacts everyone except those that only play exhibition games and don't care about named players.

Since I am starting a dynasty at a 1* as an OC most of the named players are going to be gone by the time I get to better programs so I dont really care about having real names either, but the fact that from year 2 on my game is going to be bugged prevents me from starting a dynasty.

thanks for that clarity

Can someone tell me what ratings to mess with to get these tendencies to change back to their originals as far as recruiting goes?

I'm not sure this affected buckeye's rosters for me.

Played Nebraska last night as Wisconsin and Taylor Martinez was running all over the place. Then I checked the stats and Denard is on pace for 1000 yards rushing.

What's weird is that on the Depth Chart screen it says D. Rob's a Balanced passer, but if you go into the editor and look at his attributes, his tendency is listed as scrambler.
