I don’t ever see myself buying this game until about February after the release. This is just too frustrating waiting on important fixes that never seem to come.

Them fixing sock color issues or equivalent before they fix the conference home/away schedule issue is maddening.

For real. I literally have 7 home games in a row in my JMU dynasty. Madness. Instead of the whole game being locked/grayed out, at least let us choose home or away.

I think I have the record: My conference slate this year is literally 9 straight home games with one road game at the end. Ridiculous. Hoping it fixes itself next year or I’m restarting.

I already tried restarting & it didn't help. Still get the stupid schedules.

Yeah but I’d still rather have 5 or 6 straight than flippin NINE. What’s worse is when I looked over the rest of the schedules mine is pretty much the only one like that. Like wtf.

As a Minnesota fan, Koi Perich is now (only) an 85, but I started a dynasty and he is back to 80. Am I doing something wrong?

There's no excuse for the schedule issue IMHO. Games have been creating acceptable realistic schedules in one man developer text sims for 20+ years. No idea how a company like EA can't get this right? These schedules are irritating and take away from immersion, but, not enough to stop ME from buying and playing the game, but I do understand how it does stop others. Fair enough.

As to the socks? It's apples and oranges. The team that works on the unis/socks is not being taken off of the team that does the schedule. Sure they could go with a policy of we're not releasing any uni/socks fixes until the schedule issue is fixed, but that would only mean the uni/socks team would be doing nothing or making the fixes and holding them back. If something can be "easily" fixed there is no reason to not release that fix as soon as it is ready. Holding back those fixes would only be another reason to not buy the game.

its a problem with player tendency reverting/changing for the edits ea did. it affects the overall rating and abilities. he may have fewer different abilities or none at all to go along with the overall rating drop. there is no fix for the first season. when there was the playbook glitch that changed tendencies you could change positions in the offseason during the change positions phase then back to the position you want him at and he'd regain his overall rating and all his abilities but im not sure that works in this instance.

I would pull the entire team off of everything they are working on right now, even the janitors, and fix the effing scheduling problems right now. 12 hour shifts, 7 day working schedule. Work on thanksgiving and Christmas until it’s done. But that’s just me.

You'd put graphics personnel on non graphics coding? Yeah, that should work. At the end of they day I'd say we're lucky that it is just you. :wink:

Am I the only one that read the name as Koi Perch? Seems kind of fishy to me.

I’ll show myself out.

I don't think some people realize how games are made. plus the game development field is already scrutinized for over working their employees.

At this point, I'm sure most of the CF team is working on CF26, only a smaller team probably looking at CF25.

Hmm, I figured the “janitor” hint would be a clue to the seriousness of my post but I guess not.
