Ha! Thanks. You're right. I started out with three questions and then I think I forgot my third one before I finished writing and didn't go back to edit my post obviously. Thanks for answering my questions so succinctly.

If they were trying to do that they'd not have the tendencies correct out of the box, thats nothing to do with this, this is a bug.

For number two I'd say it's possible they can fix the current rosters, especially if it's just a programming table that is backwards, which is what manyhave said it appears to be. If that is the case, fix the table and the problem is corrected when the rosters are reloaded and reference the correct table.

This blows big ones. Now I can't play my dynasty. What's the point of recruiting specific players, when it's a crapshoot what they'll actually play like. I suppose online games are still an option, but i can only play so many matches against cheesers before i want to go back to offline dynasty. And what about the people who have bad/no internet?

EA sucks, and people should be giving them a hard time. Video games in general are pissing me off right now. The last 2 games i've bought (Socom 4 and NCAA 12) have been broken out of the box. QA is out the window in this industry right now. It's pathetic.

I'll take the hint, guess it's time to move on.

I just remembered my third question. Assuming EA patches the game and we have to start over from scratch with the named rosters, who will do them? I have already heard the OS Community Rosters guys say they wouldn't be willing to do a "do-over." Are we doomed to choose between playing with named rosters with messed up player tendencies OR playing with unnamed rosters and correct player tendencies?

I'd just like to know what's going with EA Sports over this issue? I mean we're days into this & they don't seem to care a bit about coming out & letting us know something. It's being addressed doesn't cut it for me!

They should have somebody designated to respond to the consumers complaints. Instead, we get nothing & are left guessing! I mean we pay $60+ for these games. This is a big glitch with this game. Rosters are an important part of all sports games & especially this game.

Why can't we get some explanations or answers about what's the status on this possible fix? Can we keep current named rosters? Can it really be fixed? Do we have to start over from scratch?

I mean we get nothing! There's been enough time to check out the issue & for somebody at EA Sports dealing with this area to get back to the consumers. It's just flat out not right! It would stop a lot of speculation & questions if EA Sports would do something!

Agreed. Whether the news is good, bad, or indifferent. EA, just throw us a bone already.

EA is laughing at us right now. Each of us has already paid $60+ for the game, they dont give a **** about a roster patch. Why would they? We're all, including myself, going to buy the game again next year so why would they do anything to help us out. Ive said it before and I'll say it again: 2K Sports need a football license ASAP!
