'Thank You' from NCAA Football Executive Producer Roy Harvey

[JBHuskers]

Man I like this guy. What a class act. I love seeing the "messy" unis and I'm glad to hear that recruiting and leaping linebackers are things that MAY be fixed in the first tuner set.

Yes very GREAT guy for this franchise. I've had the honor of meeting him, very awesome and very down to earth.

He certainly seems like he is. All of the guys working on the game seem like true football fans and are working with the technology that they have available to them.

I certainly can't wait until there's uniform degradation. That picture he provided is damn cool looking.

When you start up the game, it checks for an 'Online Tuning Update' (I think that's what the game calls it) and when deployed you should see the percentage meter as it downloads it. I'm under the impression they will post a blog stating what's in the Live Tuning update before deploying it.

Based on experience with last year's tuner sets, it's not deployed like a normal patch where there's a percentage meter or anything like that. It's all background, it's all very quick, and you probably wouldn't even notice except (if memory serves) there's a pop-up saying a new set has been downloaded.

cdj/whoever, it'd be really nice to get something from Roy or the team about whether or not the dynasty/recruiting/progression fixes would necessitate a restart of the dynasty.

Just wanted to quote this to see if we could get an answer on this as it's pretty important to me if the fixes don't apply to already started dynasties.

An EXCELLENT article. I REALLY like having Roy as the Executive Producer for this game. He comes across VERY intelligently and definitely seems to really care about making the game the best it can be. Definitely one of the best hiring/promotions EA has made in a while.

Co-sign. I like the fact recruiting can be fixed via the tuning sets.

I think that's the progression issue they are talking about, but not 100% sure though.

JB simmed ahead 4-5 years and saw that Alabama was the highest rated team at B+ - but they had went 55-1 in that time!

Here's proof the game is broken beyond repair. There's no way anyone is gonna beat Nebraska's 60-3 five-year run.

Awesome article and read. This is just what the doctor ordered in terms of addressing why errors in the game occur. I know some people it won't matter and they will continue their adolescent anti-EA rants, but I for one thought the article was great.

This is true.

Things like this gives me hope for the future of this game, given all the problems the guys like rus and others have been good at staying on top of it. Thank you for all your work.

[AustinWolv]

This is true.

Sure, it can broken; it just would take a school scheduling cupcakes like Nebraska did back in the day.

Such as Appalachian State?:eek:

Seriously though, I could see a Mid-Major like Boise having a shot.

how did that game work out for you by the way?

[morsdraconis]

Already people? You're not even IN the Big Ten yet and you're talkin' shit.

[psusnoop]

But it is Meeechigan though.

*edit
I would also like to know about restarting online dynasties. Any information about this?

[JBHuskers]

[griffin2608]

HAHAHAHA That is funny

[JeffHCross]

Being that I'm the one that lived in Watauga County (home of Appalachian) and went to Ohio State, it's borderline hilarious that I wasn't the one that brought that up.

[AustinWolv]

how did that game work out for you by the way?

I think you know the answer....pretty much the same as losing to Iowa St repeatedly.

BTW, UM wasn't the one with a losing record at the end of the year.

[Coachdenz]

Yeah its the same stuff I here from my co-workers dealing with their computers. lol

bingo!

83% win percentage against Iowa State...just like Missouri, we have to throw a team a bone once in a while

[Kwizzy]

This was an awesome read & some impressive changes being made. Can't wait to see this all in action.
