Some possible good news on the roster glitch patch and currently named rosters

[Pizzaguylol]

I shot a PM off to Dobzimus Prime (an EA software engineer that is working on the game) and he promptly responded to my question about a patch affecting current named rosters:

"The tendencies flipping bug is a separate bug that someone else here is fixing. I don't have all the details on that fix, but I doubt it will wipe existing rosters. Sorry I don't have more info on that for you."

So while it isn't necessarily his bug to fix, his optimism makes me more confident about the game, the patch, and that the OS Community rosters can keep on keeping on just fine. Again, these are only his words but, as he is an insider, I'll take that for what its worth and be happy about it!

That would be fantastic if it works out that way.

This is fantastic news if it is true

So glad to hear this. There's no telling how pissed the roster makers (including myself) would have been to have put so many hours into rosters only to have them rendered useless. Awesome!

This makes me very happy . I know its not a guarantee but it gives me hope and has made me lean towards keeping this game for now.

I'm glad I could relay this, even though its somewhat conjecture. In any case, I'm glad to bring some optimism to the boards, as I think most people were thinking the patch would destroy everything that has been worked on. I don't think that's what will happen, but now its a question of when that patch will come out. I'm guessing sometime late next month conservatively.

If true, this is great news!

Would love actual confirmation from EA on this... I'm tired of sitting in limbo here.

I don't expect anything on a Sunday, perhaps tomorrow.

Sounds like he doesn't know any more than anyone else. He even admits that he doesn't know, because he's not working on it. Guess it's all in how you read it - are you a cup half full or half empty person.

Fair enough but when it comes from somebody who actually worked/works on the game it holds a bit more weight for me.

Exactly and with EA's track record I prefer to look at it half empty

Re: Some possible good news on the roster glitch patch and currently named rosters

All this speculation could be resolved with something coming from EA Sports. We are left hanging! This is a pretty important issue. It's silence form EA Sports that bothers me. They were on these boards posting right around game release date but have since gone into hiding.

A trusted company would let the consumers know what's going on. They surely know about it but refuse to really address the consumers. We are left wondering if & when something can be done. A simple statement saying it's being addressed isn't sufficient for me.

I'm not a computer guy but after editing QB's for an hour and half today I don't see how any fix would effect the rosters. Looks like to me they could find the line of code that is reversing the tendencies and correct it. Then it will show up correctly in both the ratings and roster screen. At this point I have very little expectations out of EA when it comes to keeping us updated. They put word out once they know what the can/can't do and when the patch will go live. For now I'm moving forward with my dynasty w/ names provided by Block-o and Gator.

Even if they couldnt repair the rosters as they are, they certainly could download and repair them using mysql queries, then send them back to Carson3 on the down low

I haven't seen anyone else touch on this thought, but he said "I doubt it will wipe existing rosters." I think we all know that it won't wipe the existing rosters. The real question is will the tendencies automatically flip back to their original tendency.
