You know, all is forgiven with me if EA releases a patch that fixes most (hopefully all, but that's not realistic) of the key issues. Freezing and tendencies are a big one with me.

My gaming time is limited these days. I have a toddler who is 18 months and he takes a lot of my time. My wife takes up some time. My job takes up too much time. So when I get three to five hours of gaming time a week, I tend to get highly pissed if a game constantly freezes in the third and fourth quarter and all is lost. I never remember freezing being an issue in the past. Just fix it EA, and let us all move on from that debacle.

Tendencies (and other roster issues) must be fixed. The guys who have given us the OS Community Rosters have poured hours and hours of their time to giving us an accurate and complete roster set. If their work is wasted, that could end up being downright unforgivable. I mean it.

I am not an online guy, but I hope that EA fixes the online dynasty issues, as I know that will make a lot of people happy.

The rest? The things I want to see will have to wait. I want a better player editor/creator and more faces. Obviously that's not going to come in a patch, but this game is so close right now. My imagination still runs wild when I think of what this game could be. College Football is awesome and I just wish EA could capture more of it, but I still love the game.

But if the core issues are not fixed, EA stands to lose A LOT of loyal customers. Right now, the game has been literally unplayable for me. I hate the term 'unplayable' or 'broken' because I feel it's much too melodramatic and tossed around too loosely, but the freezing issues that I've experienced have made that a very accurate depiction of my experience with the game so far.

All will be forgiven with me if EA fixes it.
