With all due respect, that's OUR fault. I feel the same way, man. I feel like I can't play the game or start a dynasty until both of these patches drop. I want the updated uniforms and the game doesn't feel right with teams in the wrong uniforms.

But we're the ones who buy the game on or close to release day, and we know it's going to be like this because it has been like this every year. We are beta testers and that is not going to change. Games from EA being fully playable out of the box are a thing of the past, and patches are what get us closer to a better game.

I know exactly how you feel but I can only blame myself because I know there would be issues and yet I bought the game close to release day anyway. Some of the responsibility for me not being able to enjoy the game right now falls on me because I knew better.

I always say this but we should all rent the game first, read forums, and make a decision on buying based on how the game is after a couple of patches. But it's a vicious cycle because we all buy early, then complain about these issues that we knew would be present.

It falls on us, too.

With all of that said, I am happy with the patch fix lists. Having updated uniforms will be awesome. I can finally have Washington's CORRECT home jersey that they have been wearing since 2010! The Uniform Store will be amazing if it's done properly.

big le sigh from me, i tried the "workaround" for the game loading crash, of creating a new save file, but that didn't work - this means there are at least 6 in game crashing bugs

1) the bug that gets fixed by creating a new save
2) the game loading crash by choosing your team to play
3) the game loading crash by choosing to play CPU vs CPU with CPU teams (may or may not be related to studio updates)
4) after the game loads, it crashes before showing the rece davis look-in , displaying just a black screen
5) crashes in supersim, at quarter changes
6) crashes after the game, while scrolling through photos

how many will actually be fixed by the first patch? i'm not getting my hopes up, patch #1 appears to be intended to put the game from alpha into beta quality

Holy hell. I've frozen once at quarter changes. Is there anyone else with your amount of crashing/freezing? The game is certainly not alpha, that is exaggerating. At some point you may have to start looking at your system. I know my slim sometimes acts up with EA, which always gives me the shivers of thinking it will fail on me.

Or like other people, you can stick your figures in your ears, stick out your tongue and make noises. Also don't forget to call me an EA shill or whatever.

The one thing thats throwing me off is the one about schools with D+ not being able to advance. So right now its broken and if I do well with akron during my dynasty its not going to matter correct?

Hopefully that is just an abbreviated version of the full patch log because that is really small, generic and even misses some of the major issues as some have pointed out.

I cannot remember but does Tiburon ever give out detailed patch logs? I know that the EA PC games normally do but with Tiburon everything is usually fan unfriendly.

two different xbox systems, which rarely crash with other games. i've determined the different loading bug crashes by virtue of testing the game in different scenarios (like finding out that game A has a studio update in game B, playing game A will crash, but playing game B and then A won't)

also the game didn't nearly crash as much during the first 4 years of dynasty, there could be a roster corruption issue - blackbox testing is good for find issues quickly, but not for providing any insight into the problems

software that crashes this much IS alpha quality

Over or Under $100 for the total game with all Jerseys???


Im surprised so many people are willing to go along with this....Im so sick of the DLC take over this gen
