EA is very quiet....starting to worry.

That actually happened to me last game. The default play call was a 93 yrd field goal. Seriously? Now.....honestly that was in the game last year too and it's not a game killer (having to select another play from default because default is ridiculous) I know and even agree that EA is aware and that they are not stupid. On the other hand when you can fire up a "play now" game against the CPU and it's 4th down and first default play that comes up for the user is a 90+ yrd field goal......I'm sorry, that's inexcusable. Especially considering this year what??? 10+ I know for sure. Anwyay, there's nothing we can do. Every year it gets better in some ways and more ridiculous in others. One thing is for sure, there is a serious lack of attention to detail over at EA bordering on just This year, they have managed to break online play AND offline dynasty. The two most major parts of the game are just flat broke. What's on the table for next year? Just gonna ship out a blank disk? In some ways THAT would be better than this. At least you'd know right away you wouldn't have to waste any of your time. I do feel somewhat better now at least that a 3rd patch is coming. They have no choice. Like I said, with what we have now, both online and offline are broken to the point that it's not playable. How they could manage to screw up both 'modes' of play is just baffling...only EA could continue to top their own failures. Now I'm getting hot so I'm going to stop. Sorry. Will certainly give credit where it is due. The locomotion is mega sweet. The animations are fresh and not only are they fresh but it doesn't feel like you are "trapped" once the animations start either. The helmets getting scuffed are nice. REALLY NICE. Facing hurry up offenses is fresh. I have noticed a pretty big increase in the 'fatigue' factor as well. I don't know if the sliders work for substitutions cause I haven't messed with them but I do notice the fatigue a lot more this year. I dunno, seems soooooo close to being perfect....and yet so far away too. Frustrating but at least they are consistant. The same problems year after year after year after year is getting old though. As someone else mentioned, if someone could provide a link to EA's "tweets" that would be great. I'll shut up now. Promise. Thanks for reading.

You sound like a troll.

LBs at TE or DT, OL at FB or TE, TE at WR or QB. When you actually start looking at the depth charts for some of the CPU controlled teams, especially the lower tier teams, you'll see some really crazy stuff. Some believe (me included) that this contributes to poorer progression and weird recruiting.

It doesn't though. Progression and recruiting are based off of the player's assigned position, not the positions they are playing on the depth chart.

What would make it better though is if the CPU would move player's positions around sometimes between seasons. It happens all the time in real life, with younger players.

This is a game changer, it has made a difference in missing/making a field goal, completion of a pass, etc. Fix this, among the other glitches, and EA...we have the greatest football game ever...

It's not an issue with the system. A lot of people are reporting this. Patch #2 even said it "Fixed a couple infrequent game lock-ups" so the issue is there and just hasn't been dealt with completely.

mm boost, put a reply in the Official Glitches/Bugs Thread to help ensure this gets fixed.

And I agree, this game would be phenomenal if they managed to get all these bugs and glitches worked out.

Same with the CPU attemping unreasonable FGs...who cares!? Either u call a FG return technically making it a punt or take the turnover on downs.. There are more pressing issues EA needs to focus on.

Sorry for pointing out the obvious.

IRL you see safeties to runningbacks , runningbacks to lb and so forth i really don't think its that big of a deal IMO

I agree. One of the things I've always enjoiyed between seasons is finding players who can change positions and make the team stronger overall. I consider the depth chart thing as an upgrade from last year - not a glitch.

Actually, the depth chart glitch has been an issue for the past few years.

The pump fake glitch is the worst. I mean how did that slip by???
