Maybe minor injury with nothing to report. Cramp!

i've made a bunch of changes using formation subs for my usc team in an online dynasty (360) and i've noticed that if you go into practice (while still logged in), your formation subs do not carry over.
they work in the games, just not in practice.
The play clock (actual one on the scoreboard) does not work at Minnesota.
I had a game today where the CPU caught a pass in the back of the end zone and it was ruled incomplete. Replay correctly overturned it but then the drive summary showed the scoring play to be the 43 yard run that immediately preceded the TD pass. I paused the game to look at the player stats and they correctly showed the CPU TE with a TD catch but they showed the QB as having 0 TD passes. Then, I looked at the scoring summary and it showed MY team as the team who scored and the CPU TE as catching a 2 yd TD pass from no one. Fortunately, the points were awaded to the right team.
When you use the Ohio State 09 Pro Combat helmet in Teambuilder, the numbers come out pink, instead of black.
In the N.C. Game the cpu kicker hits the cross bar on an extra point. The next thing I know, I AM KICKING OFF TO THE CPU...could have cost me the game!
I had this happen, except it got even weirder. In the background, I could see the sideline players (Ohio State), but almost like they were ghosts. In front of them, fully rendered players were celebrating a play, as if they were on the sidelines.
1 Ohio State Buckeye ... and like 7 of my opponent. All celebrating. In front of the Ohio State bench.
I remember seeing this discussed somewhere, or at least I think I do, and I believe it was said that this is intentional. I know in the last few years I've seen a growing trend of sideline logos facing the press box, rather than their own sidelines. I think that they intended to reflect that trend. It really should be a toggle option though, for accuracy.
- CPU No-Huddle with Wildcat: Just saw this myself for the first time. When a no-huddle team starts a drive and their first play is from the Wildcat, the next play is Wildcat as well. Odd (but I think I understand why it does that), but adding to it, the commentary (Nessler) believes the regular QB is under center and will still say the QBs name, even when it's the RB who takes the hike and then gets tackled.
- Player of the Game Stat Issue: If you get a defensive Player of the Game, the stats shown for him on the POG cutscene are odd, if not messed up. Sometime it's clear he won POG for an INT and/or defensive TD and neither will be listed. After assisted tackles are shown, there is sometimes a blank spot. IE: 5 TCK, 3 ATK, , There is just a space and comma hanging out there in addition to key stats being omitted.
- Penalty on Kick Returns: An issue in the series for a while, if there's a penalty on the return team, you get some messed up stats. For example, when I saw this for the first time in NCAA 11, my return man was shown on the PBP having a -57 yard return. I didn't check Player Stats to see what it said there.
- BYU Stadium Name: The game shows it as "Lavell Edwards Stadium." Technically, it is "LaVell."
- Road to Glory 4th Down Cam: Had the CPU go for it on 4th down and the camera started on the 'broadcast/special teams angle' before quickly (and very late) swinging back to behind my player.
- Season Stat Sorting: When you look at player season stats, the sorting for Sacks is incorrect. It does not seem to recognize the half-sacks. IE: The first player listed may have 6.5, next few will have 6.0, then more with 6.5, etc. This goes along with the issue when sorting by Total Tackles does not work. When sorting this column, it is actually sorting by Solo Tackles. (Same goes for in-game/end of game stats.)
Related to this, there are several plays formations that don't match up with personnel when you no-huddle to a new formation. For example, if you go from the Wildcat to a different formation, the HB stays at QB and the QB stays at WR. As well, there's several formations that when going from 3WR 1TE set to another 3WR 1TE set, the TE will be put at WR and a WR will be put at TE; for examples, look at the Arkansas State playbook and I believe it's going from Shotgun Trips to Shotgun Y-Trips.
Additionally, it happens to the defense as well. One particular example is going from a Dime to a Nickel, the MLB will move to CB and the two CBs will move to LB.
For the last three games, the ESPN/EA Score box at the end of the game has been BLACK. No teams, no scores, just all black boxes.
The Commentary is consistent with last year, unfortunately. Nesslar is surprised every time that it's a direct snap to the HB.
Interesting though that G sees audibles being weird on Wildcat. That's not particularly surprising, I suppose ... last year you couldn't audible out of wildcat. Even if you wanted to, it wasn't allowed. I think it was Wildcat (Normal) that you couldn't even use Formation Audibles. Wildcat Spread you could at least use Formation Audibles.
I've checked this in the past, and the game stats are correct. I think the Highlights display it wrong as well. Not 100% sure.
The Left Sleeve/Right Sleeve options on editing Player Equipment are all screwed up. I think I've figured out why.
Starting from Short, you have:
Short
Long White
Long Black
Btm 1/2 Sleeve White
These all function as expected.
Then you have "Btm 1/2 Sleeve BlackTop 1/2 Sleeve White", at least that's how it displays on the screen. This is just the Btm 1/2 Sleeve Black.
From there on, everything is one off in progression.
Top 1/2 Sleeve Black is actually White.
3/4 Sleeve White is a black top half-sleeve
3/4 Sleeve Black is ... I honestly can't figure out what it is. It's not 3/4 of the way down. It honestly looks like normal Sleeve length, and it's white. I think it's "Normal".
Normal is the same as the previous, except Black.
EDIT: Similarly, both the Left/Right Forearm Bands and Left/Right Calf Bands have the colors switched. White is Black and Black is White.
EDIT2: Under the Elbows, there are settings for "Short" and "Long White". Neither does anything, and I suspect they shouldn't be there.
EDIT3: I suspect this is a Teambuilder only bug, but there's also a problem with players having equipment that the game doesn't recognize. So I'll go to edit a player for the first time, and his Sleeves will say "Short". But he'll be wearing half-length pink sleeves.
Well, this might explain that.
I just noticed that the regular Ohio State helmets include the numbers on the back near the stripe. Shockingly (or not so), they're pink as well. I wouldn't be altogether shocked if someone used Alabama's helmet on a Teambuilder team and those numbers came out pink.
I've twice, with two different TeamBuilder teams, seen a cutscene where I see a bunch of players from the opposing team celebrating, with two players from my team in the middle, all in front of my bench. This is after a big play by my team.
I still don't know why/when it happens, but I've seen it yet again on NCAA 11.
Sometimes, the defensive players will come out of the huddle all wrong, and one of the CB will be ridiculously off the LOS. Just now, I had the ball on my 38, the defense appears to have been in a 3-3-5 (2 SS, not Nickel) with Show Blitz on. The #1 CB on my opponent lined up in the end zone.
Pretty sure I posted about a similar thing earlier, but I can't recall seeing the CPU do it too.
Seen it in 3-3-5 repeatedly, not sure about other defenses, but putting Show Blitz or Press coverage on will cause him to go into a drop animation from the LOS and he'll just keep dropping.......he's been 30-40 yards downfield at the snap because I didn't notice. When I see that bug start, I quick audible to pretty much any defense to get him out of the animation.
I'm really getting really annoyed with the 'website returned an error' popup message when doing recruiting on the online dynasty site.......because it closes the call with the particular recruit at the moment and you lose those fucking minutes.
Formation Subs for Punt Return Normal do not match the team that actually takes the field. One of the gunners in the formation sub screen (inside right) is actually the last man on the line on the left side. One of the actual gunners (I believe inside left), is not depicted anywhere on Formation Subs.
I just finished my 1st season of a single player offline Dynasty with Notre Dame. I played their actual schedule and went 10-2. Had decent wins over Pittsburgh and Utah. The losses came to Stanford and USC. I finished #12 in both polls and the BCS standings. I was rewarded with a trip to the.............GMAC Bowl to play MAC runner up, Ohio.
Whaaaat?!?!
A 10-2, #12 Irish team would never, ever, ever, ever be in that position.
That's what they should get since they've been stealing bowl money for 15+ years now. LOL.
Back on topic, I found a Dynasty bug (not sure if it's well known). And, this one irritates me. The Custom Schedule feature is flawed. In year 1 I ended up with 9 home games. The game changed some games from away games even though I didn't even "customize" the schedule. In year 2, I did customize the schedule and the game changed 6 home/away locations. Luckily, I still have 6 of each but it's annoying. Pay attention to what happens to your OOC schedule. Maybe it's just an Independent/ND problem.
