ping: NFL - there is a major bug affecting incoming rookies

Dear NFL,

When I started watching your product, I assumed I was seeing the most realistic version of football possible. The following bug has made me re-think that. There appears to be a bug that affects the first names of incoming rookies (I've attached visual proof below). I trust you will resolve this rookie first name issue as soon as possible. And yes, I can replicate the problem. Simply go the any website discussing the upcoming NFL draft and you will see the problem I'm encountering.


Top Prospects by Position

Tight End
1. Kellen Winslow Jr., Miami (FL)
2. Ben Troupe, Florida
3. Ben Watson, Georgia
4. Ben Utecht, Minnesota
5. Ben Hartsock, Ohio St.

it seems to me the bug messed up the first prospect.

shouldn't Ben Dover be first?

Jesus Christ people! Jim said the license information must be entered EXACTLY as depicted or the game may behave in an unpredictable manner.

I thought there was a TE named Ben Dover from Pitt that was supposed to be in the top 5.

but seriously though... WTF? I don't ever remember seeing anything like this. When I was first reading a draft preview magazine I had to do a quadruple take when looking over the scouting reports for tight ends.

No, that was called back. Jumbo Elliot was holding on the play.

Nope. Ben Dover was a wide reciever. Ben Gay was a RB.
