It means the CPU QBs are perfect on their passing. They make perfect reads everytime, they make perfect throws everytime. Combined with bad Defensive Back AI and zero pass rush, and it leads to the CPU going 22-26 with 4 TDs and 2 INTs a game.

I found some more....

ONLINE
--The home team's alternate jerseys are not visible to visting team. I was Auburn playing a buddy who was Florida State. He had on the All Black FSU Alternates but I couldn't see them. They looked like the regular Garnet Home Unis on my screen.

SUBS/FATIGUE BUG
--This was in 08 as well...when a WR or DB gets tired, it will only put in another DB or WR that is in the depth chart. SO...since there are only I believe 5 or 6 slots available on the sub page, that means when your 5th and 6th WRs get tired, the game won't sub in another WR, it will sub in a DB.

Same on the Defense....if you have 9 CBs on your team and the first 6 are either hurt, tired, or subbed out, it won't put in the last 3. Instead...it will put in Wide Receivers.

Wow! If it weren't for the fact that I was dying to get any and all information on this game because I wanted it so bad I would have been very disappointed come Tuesday morning. As a Coach Mode enthusiast hearing that FGs don't work, DB AI is broken, LBs get all the INTs, QBs can throw through a hot wheels tire...I'm just speechless. I guess I'm gonna wait a little while and see what happens but this is beyond despairing. I held off from buying any EA Sports game last year since I was saving to upgrade to an xbox360 and now I may just stick my old copy of NCAA '07 in and load my coaching sliders and never look back. Hell I've been able to make decent (never perfect but semi-realistic) coaching sliders in last-gen systems but if sliders are pretty much broken the very heart of the game to me (calling the plays) is worthless. I hope EA does something massive or I'm just gonna find out if Bowl Bound has put out a new game and play that.

It's because my analog stick gets stuck sometimes.

No flame. This happened to me a few times also (i have the 360 version), no buttons stuck. You go to edit your depth chart in game, hit the RT trigger and sometimes it just scrolls thru the positions without you touching any other buttons. Also happened to me on the AI editing screen, either trying to pick a unit to edit (offense/defense/ST) and/or Human or CPU. Note: this only has happened during a game.

This is a pain, and the depth chart editing thing is also a pain, but what REALLY chaps my *** is the fact that I cannot edit a roster w/out the game freezing. I downloaded pasta's roster and everytime I go to save anything that I've changed, the game freezes. I'm wondering if I had just named them myself from my own file if this would be the case.

Starting to feel like some other here: you get jacked up waiting for the game to drop and your disappointed to learn it's full of bugs. Not gonna go crazy with EA criticisms, but not sure how much they focus on quality when they essentially own the business....

As far as the freezing goes, I think it's been pretty much confirmed that using Pasta's roster is whats causing the freezing. He took them down and you should too. FK is working on one now.


I don't have a clue about the formation subs issue, sorry.

i noticed this too, i thought it was my controller getting stuck at first but it made it really hard to look at the depth chart

Are you making additional edits to the roster file?

I changed a couple of players and a couple of changes to the depth chart. Probably around 10 or so total changes.

Ah well that's the word floating around the forums now.

Dont mean to hijack thread, but is it confirmed that FK is working on an original set for 360? Any info on this set (any attribute edits etc)?

and to stay on topic, any more info on the depth chart, roster bug (resetting the roster)?
