I am so f*&k&*g done with EA!! Can't return the game because I'm never getting another. Actually, I may return it for '06

Alright just played bout 20 mins w this patch. I played as the Eagles and got Westbrook really fatigued by just doin spins and hitsticks. After 4-5 runs, he was in the red and got auto-subbed and Buckhalter came in. However, when I just do straight runs with turbo applied, the fatigue is much less noticeable.

Thats good, I hope you can confrim it more and others as well. maybe people should test this and online before going off the deep end. I think it makes no sense it wouldn't work in exhibition but work in franchise, but I wouldn't dismiss it either.

Autosubs work in franchise mode. I just ran McGahee from the 1, broke a tackle, ran across the field a few times, back and forth, and intentionally got tackled at the 1...it brought my backup in. I wonder how long he'll stay out though...lemme check this out.

This patch is clearly smoke and mirrors. Sure, the fatigue bars and colors of the circles change to indicate fatigue, but it's not reflected on the field. Not by performance nor substitutions.

If you have to run in circles, do spins etc to make it work then it's pointless. I ran the ball 17 times in a row the Tatum Bell and he was not substituted out. Not only that, but I didn't see his speed diminish either.

When I play with the Buffs in NCAA, I don't need some bar or red circle to tell me that B-Jack is tired. I can tell on the field that he's not got the juice.

Try and post quarter lengths to see if the fatigue effect is proportional to quarter length?

[MDiFusco13]

It is reflected on the field. To what extent, we shall see.
