Re: Tendency Bug w/ New Recruits

Pretty frustrating.

I used to buy these games day 1. After a few years of getting burned, I'd wait a few days. Then it was a week. And that still wasn't enough time

Hell, it's gotten to the point where you should actually wait about 3 months before you buy one of these.

I'm getting a little confused. What if I'm an offline player who only controls one team? Does this bug only affect my new recruits or does it also affect recruits of all other 118 NCAA Div. I teams that I don't control?
Play against. All other teams.

This. I can't believe how big of a lesson I learned this year. I wasted 120 dollars on release day, and it will never happen again.

If they don't save some face with me this year by fixing this issue, there's no way in hell I'll buy the game at all next year.

I've already decided I'm not buying it at release, but I was hoping to pick it up after a few patches.

If I can't count on them to fix issues, there's no point.

Re: Tendency Bug w/ New Recruits

This from EA's Dewiel in the Update Thread.

"We wanted to get the "No Huddle" fix out there as quickly as possible, so Title Update #3 only addresses the "No Huddle" issue. We are still collecting feedback and looking into other issues. This includes the tendency issue. I'll keep you guys posted."

Re: Tendency Bug w/ New Recruits

Question to all;

Basically, if a tendency on a new recruit says "scrambler" even if you edit that recruit, they still wont scramble? I'm a bit confused...

Thanks.

If you're controlling the quarterback, scramble to your heart's content. Tendencies do not affect attributes (although the tendency is supposed to reflect the player's attributes).

What you get instead is a scrambling QB getting his tendency switched to Balanced (Pocket passers are unaffected). If the CPU is controlling the player, the CPU will be less likely to take the ball and run to get yards on a broken down or well covered pass play. Meanwhile, a Balanced QB who is switched to a scrambling QB will run more than he should, and because he is a less effective runner the offense is stymied.

Keep in mind that QBs will still run when an Option or QB draw play is called. The bigger issue is what the QB will do from pass play to pass play with his feet. With mixed up tendencies, the CPU controlled QB's choices do not play to his strengths.

It should be noted this applies to EVERY position player as well. You have balanced defensive tackles using only one part of their skill set while others think they are have the ability to power through linemen but are actually balanced. It essentially breaks the game and more so for us coach moders who rely solely on the tendencies of players to dictate play on the field.

So, if a new recruit says "scrambler" he will act as if he is a "balanced" qb and vice versa if the computer controls them? I tend to be a coach mode and cpu vs cpu guy.

I learned it several years ago. This was the first NCAA title I bought in 3 years. Imagine my disappointment.
