I don't think so. IIRC, auto-named rosters are OK.Quote:

Question: I downloaded Fairdale King roster before I started my dynasty. Are you telling me that all the players in my dynasty are messed up? So when I play the fast QBs who should be scramblers and run a lot they will be pocket passers? I have Nebraska and O$U left on the schedule, both of these QBs should be inclined to run.
Yes and no.Quote:

If you keep playing a Dynasty with that file, new players (recruits) that come in each offseason (following the patch) will be corrected. After the patch, the roster file will be fine in Play Now and for new Dynasties.
Pissed off gamers get ignored.Quote:

Truthfully, if they fixed recruiting where it wasn't a complete fuckin' bore and actually made ratings really and truly matter for every aspect of the game (instead of animations causing certain things to happen no matter what) then I'd be VERY happy with this game.
Bugs happen. It's the bane of every programmer because, no matter how much you spend on quality control and testers, stuff is going to slip through the cracks, especially when you don't have more than probably 4 month to test out everything.
I still can't believe people think this is an issue...Quote:

No it does not affect recruiting...I've seen Washington St. turn itself into a option based team with proper recruiting (and a demotion to the WAC)Quote:

Any word on the cpu attempting incredibly long and impossible FGs on Heisman?
Why -I don't see why not?Quote:

had a recent game where the CPU tried a 57 yarder at the end of the half into the wind... i promptly returned it 99 yards for a touchdownQuote:

Exactly what I an talking aboutQuote:

And if that is the case, how come we don't have that option? Or the one STILL missing all these years to throw a screen pass into the dirt because the screen receiver is covered too well?Quote:

Honestly, I haven't tried it this year, but in the past I remember trying to lead pass it into the dirt and the damn RB would fall down to catch it.
this makes me want to punch kittens... seriouslyQuote:

Sorry if I missed it, but did we get any further clarification on whether the formations would be reordered in custom playbooks?
OK where is this patch already...let's go... let's go!!
Complain to Sony and Microsoft. They're the reason it's not out yet, and probably won't be out for at least another week or two depending on when exactly EA submitted the patch, since it takes usually two weeks for patches to go through their testing and certification processes.Quote:

Generally they wouldn't announce the full details of the patch until it's completed and ready to be sent to Sony & MS. That way during their final testing of the patch, if they determine something isn't ready, they can decide whether to include it or not. That said, we don't know 100% certain when it was submitted but I would assume it was sometime right around 8/2.Quote:

If you don't want to play it and potentially save some money, your route is fine.Quote:

If it is worth it to any particular individual depends on their relative budget and what they want out of the game, I guess.
Completely agree, I think anyone that is searching for an answer here for a decision on whether to buy a game should first self analyze their current position on things. After that it's all elementary.Quote:

I like Austin am really enjoying the heck out of this game right now and play it about 3 hours a day once my kids and wife go to sleep. For me this is an easy decision, the biggest question is when to buy the pass to play on Friday's before release :nod:
Patch where are you????? !!!! Come here patch!!! Come on boy.... come on!!!
If you buy your games from amazon and like things like $20.00 credits toward a future purchase.Quote:
