	"For gameplay you should notice that larger players cannot jump as high to swat down passes making things look and feel more authentic. In Dynasty mode, it means two things. First, the majority of the teams in Dynasty will be slightly better than before due to having access to higher rated Prospects and slightly better progression. Second, CPU teams will do a much better job of accurately filling their rosters."

You saw the chart. Teams like San Diego State actually went up in ratings. I'm just gonna give them the benefit of the doubt and say I'm pretty sure we didn't get a false tuner set here.

If so...well that is just some ****.

I'm not here to argue with anyone, as I see that on here a lot and I think it's pointless. I understand you guys are just offering what you feel as resolve. All I am saying is that I guess I don't understand the priority of things. It seems to me that people who spent their money on the game and even after multiple copies, cannot play the game due to circumstances outside their control. There were plenty of guys that had this problem. To me people who can't finish a game vs people who have a problem with recruits progressing, seems like the former is the more pressing matter. So, after a month of having the game some of us still can't even play a dynasty to even worry about progression. I just wanna play my game, that's all.

# 143 Mobaby @ 08/05/10 02:26 PM

Also, was it a NEW dynasty that you did this in...or a continuation of one pre-tuner set?

# 144 poopoop @ 08/05/10 02:27 PM

This is what the progression looked like for the #19 WR I got in year one with a 3 star / 2 star prestige school.

Freshman 70 ovr / 93 speed / 58 awr / 71 catch
RS Soph 81 ovr / 95 speed / 66 awr / 80 catch
RS Sr 90 ovr / 97 speed / 72 awr / 88 catch

Guy had horrible juke/spin/elusiveness ratings. He also came in with 62 acceleration which didn't make sense. Low awareness too but he did finish with 99 in route running.

Wow, looks like we'll actually STRUGGLE with a BAD team to get the better players. Damn, too bad my multiple 1 star loser players can't be rated an 80 as a freshman so they can be a 99 when they leave my awesomely prestigious school...MIDDLE TENNESSEE STATE.

You have so many strawman arguments in that post I don't even nowhere to begin. Did I ever say they should be a 75?

I was simply comparing them to what they were rated before the tuner and the fact they seem to be the exact same or very similar. The tuner was supposed to increase all recruits, but the lower ones needed the most help.

Every single 2* player brought in was rated 50 in below. Even the 3* was a 54. That is almost identical to what we were seeing pretuner.

But you know what I apologize for a testing to see what the tuner did, honestly man no need to jump down my throat just reporting what I am seeing.

Maybe it was an anomaly of some sort, I will test a for a couple more years and see what I get, but a major the concern before the patch was how horrible the lower teams would become. I am just testing that to see if it's better.

And no it was not a previously loaded dynasty, never even used Mid Tenn State. Not that it would matter anyways since they said it would apply to dynasties that were already started.

How do we do that? Why are they not releasing to uk and europe?

Well you have succeeded in identifying the illogical fallacies in my argument.

Any chance you saw what progression looked like with MTSU?

Are you planning on testing their progression?

# 150 poopoop @ 08/05/10 02:33 PM

Going into year 6 there's 14 D- overall teams. Not sure how many there are on the default roster. Only two teams A- or above.

# 151 kwomack12 @ 08/05/10 02:34 PM

Ok, these are free right?

# 152 kwomack12 @ 08/05/10 02:34 PM

But I do love this game already...so it'll probably be good anyway

^This. There is a difference between Live Tuner Packs and Title Updates (patches). Double check Roy's Blog for some more details.

Man, prestige drops fast. Maybe i never noticed it before, but After simming two seasons with Notre dame, it's now a 4 star program after a 10-3 year(wth would it drop after a 10-3 year!?) and a 5-7 year(understandable) OSU dropped to a 5-star after a 10 win season adn a 9 win season. As usual, i'm befuddled by the prestige logic. Losing prestige is way too easy to do. It should be harder to gain prestige and way harder to lose it as well.

Fair enough.

It's used in our SIM logic some and helps CPU QB's choose who they are going to throw too. I'll double check if there is anything else but that is pretty much it.

Yes. I can report in the offseason in year one the non-freshmen went up anywhere from 1-5. Unless those guys go up 5 every year though, they still are horrible by the end of their career.

We don't release the game anywhere outside of North America (sorry for being slighty off, put down the pitch forks my northern friends). But the above might solve your problems.
