    Is Dynasty Mode playable?

    I've read some of the seemingly freak glitches in Dynasty mode as well as gameplay, but it seems to me as long as I use one of the good slider sets found on here, the game is definitely playable. My question is will it not be a waste of time to get my dynasty going right now, with the assumption that I won't be done with the first season prior to the patch coming out.

    I've been playing The Show since I got NCAA after hearing about the issues, but I'm trying to find out if it's worth starting my Dynasty now.

    Thanks in advance guys

    ASSUMING that the patch is released by the end of the month, i'd wait for that as well as the up-to-date rosters...if ur really itching to play the game, i'd mess around with a dummy dynasty for the time being

      What does being done with the first season have to do with the patch? Does the patch not effect dynasties that are past season 1?

            ABSOLUTELY NOT


            Most of the stuff we could play without. For example I wouldn't die without custom playbooks or Coaching Carousel (even though I was looking forward to using them)

            But right now the biggest problem is THE GAME IS NOT REPORTING THE PROPER GAME SCORES and that make it a COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME until it is fixed

              Can you define "end of the season"? What is the crossing point? End of bowl games? End of off season?

                From what I understand, if you download the patch before your first season ends, the patch works immediately. If you are past your first season, the patch comes into affect for your next incoming recruiting classes only, and that works fully when your players turn over.

                  Ok..so I am midway through season 2. That means the new patch will be applied to my season 3 and those recruits...correct?

                    i think it's before the *Training Results* in the off-season.....but i do know it's at a certain stage in the offseason

                      My impression is that the roster glitch fixes will be fixed when you start season 3, however other fixes such as freezing, gameplay issues, OD transfer fails, etc, should take affect immediately. Someone feel free to correct that if I'm wrong.

                        I wouldn't risk putting in the time and effort. I've ran into a few of the dynasty issues that have been posted. Instead of restarting a dynasty for a third time I've put the game away hoping the upcoming patch at the very least addresses 75% of the ridiculously high number of issues this game has.

                        There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.

                          This is my understanding as well.

                          • If you started a dynasty pre-patch with named rosters, every player will be bugged.
                          • If you get the patch before you finish season 1 (whenever that is) every player, including everyone from the default roster will be fixed.
                          • If you get the patch after season 1, all players on the default roster will be bugged until they're all gone (season 6). All recruits that have come in before the patch that have been edited, and only those that have been edited, will be bugged until they leave. All new incoming recruits will be fixed by the patch and you can edit them all to your heart's content.

                          I already started my dynasty and I'm midway through season 3 now. I'm fine with the default guys being bugged (although it does really suck playing against a Taylor Martinez that rarely scrambles). I've edited all of my guys (number and equipment) knowing that they'll be bugged, but I play all of my games so it shouldn't be too noticeable. I'm holding off on editing other players until after the patch. IE. Oregon has recruited some slow QBs so after the patch hits, I'll bump up their SPD/ACC/AGI and lower their AWR/THP/THA so that their OVR stays the same.

                            How significant is this bug? What does it cause?
