1. Nobody asked you.
2. Who said anything about forgetting?
3. I thought this was much more interesting since it was the #1 team in the nation taking a nosedive: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdMUv5-z1jQ

And I think that's about enough of that.

Back on topic, yes?

Well, of the many bad losses in Michigan history, most people never bring that one up. As far as that video goes, That wasn't the first bad loss that came to mind. But hey, it's cool. I hereby remove myself from this conversation. :nod:

It's safe to say I'm going to wait until the 2nd patch to start my official Michigan dynasty.

The picture looks amazing by the way.

Any word on this?

I'm going to assume it will affect current dynasties and restarts won't be necessary. EA patches almost always work that way. The only exception I remember was a bug in a Madden game a couple years ago that was directly related to franchise. To fix that problem you had to restart a franchise.

After re-reading the blog a couple times, it appears that the progression and dynasty fixes are going to be in the tuner set. Based on NHL 10 experience, dynasty should absolutely not need to be restarted if that's the case. At first I thought they were in the patch, where it would be a question.

That was my impression as well.

Now, that said, if the tuning somehow changes the actual base recruits, rather than just their progression, those currently in dynasty probably wouldn't see the changes until the following season.

However, I would suspect the change is to progression, not the base.

I'm going to guess it's some of both. Especially where specialists are concerned.
08-01-2010, 07:58 PM

We'll see. Hopefully we find out sooner rather than later, 'cause I really don't want to waste a week on a pointless Dynasty.

I'm hoping that's not the case, because I'm already 4 games into my Navy dynasty. :(

I totally agree.

I just can't fathom how progression alone will fix the incoming kickers. I'm in year 2 of my Dynasty and I'd guess that the Freshman kickers I've faced are between 33 and 50 percent on PATs (55 CPU KAC).

Heh, I'm on season 3 of mine but I'm thinking about starting off. It's just ridiculously easy to win now. It's boring as hell. Guess that's what I get for starting on '10 instead of just waiting.

Agreed. I know Progression will fix the rest of the problems, but the specialists are another story.

Personally, I'd like to see them adjust the initial ratings for 2* players upwards a bit. I like that players are starting out lower overall, but after recruiting as a 1* program, there seems to be a huge difference between 2* and 3* guys. Most 3*s I recruited came in around 60-63 OVR which I like, but the 2*s are closer to 45 OVR. IMO most 2* recruits shouldn't be completely worthless, especially to a school like New Mexico State.

I can see tuning sets affecting the speed of the progression but can it handle position by position starting ratings as well and for individual categories? If I had to guess I would say tuning could speed up or slow down progression but I'm not sure it can handle the starting ratings. That might require a patch.

This is really going to be interesting to see how this is handle and how fast EA can get information out to us. I'm looking forward to hearing more now after reading this blog 10 times this weekend. LOL

I could see the possibility of it handling starting ratings. The way the game builds recruits is that it starts with ~2000 molds of players each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Then, the game will then fluctuate the ratings of those molds up or down to actually build the recruit.

With that said, tuning wouldn't be able to modify the database of those player molds, however it likely could modify how much the ratings are fluctuated up or down.

Anyone heard and estimated ETA on this first tuning?

I for one am hoping that we get it today at some point. That would be great!

Yeah I was just curious as I want the tuning to go through before I complete my 1st Offline Dynasty Season.

I've got the title game against Bama! No rush for me since I don't want to get into the offseason until the tuner hits. Season two will have a bump up in slider difficulty.

Don't rush slider bumps. The progression issue has turned my B+ defense into a C+ defense and I have an AWFUL D line. It's really tough to stop the run and get sacks. However, the year before I was the sack king!

I hope this tune drops soon. But if I had to guess I would put it friday sometime.

I'm going to make a few tweaks before I start season two. Haven't even had time to play the title game since we just had an above ground pool installed and I've been busy with that. Hopefully tonight. I don't want to rush anything because I won't advance until the offseason unless the tuning set is out. I only have one scholly left to hand out so it's not like I have a lot of things left to do.
