That's cool, I like when people on this forum exaggerate. Studio Updates are a nice feature. Could have been done better, but fine as is. I still don't see why people have to play another teams schedule other than their own during a Single Player dynasty. Is it to make sure you're number one in the conference?

That is more scrubbish than having The Unthinkable Happen.

it's quite the opposite, it's to make sure that Oklahoma doesn't lose to Iowa State, Central Michigan, Baylor, ULL and Kansas in a single season

to make sure the SEC champion has less than 4 losses

to make sure the freakin Ohio isn't 12-0

We don't really know that though. I highly doubt that the games were actually simmed as you played as there is literally no advantage in doing that programming wise but you get the disadvantage of processing power being reallocated to simming other games while you play.

As I recall, whenever you used to select to play a game it would tell you that all prior games would be simulated and it just simmed them right there before going into your game.

And yet another case of rose-colored glasses. Like you said, processing power, especially in the PS2 days. They were simmed before you went in. These are just simmed as you advance the week.

but you could also sim them before you sent in manually, and it would still work. This was NINE years ago, and they can't do the same now, a decade and a hardware revision later

Then go play that beautiful 9 year old game. I don't know what to tell you. It's not exactly the same, the games aren't remotely the same, and the development team has changed throughout the years.

you don't know they cant? are you programming the game? No. They chose not to do it that way to our knowledge. They only think we know now is that they sim the games as you advance the week. No difference at all. Its not a big deal like you're trying to make it.

I don't just look at my team stats anymore. And the studio updates have helped make it feel like a college saturday
More/= better.
