Correct, it's only the specified tourney for the team you're using. It looks like they include the 1st game of the tournament, i.e. ND/IU, for non-user teams and that's it. I noticed some teams with only 5-6 non-conference games due to this. What a bummer.

Sorry again, but it just seems that people do nothing but complain on these forums about the smallest of things.

To each his/her own. I just think that tournaments that EA has licenses for should be in dynasty mode whether the team you're playing as is in the tournament or not. I really do enjoy the game and my Gophers schedule isn't effected by this, but it's an issue I think EA should know about.

As a 360 guy, I must say I am way jealous! Hopefully we get our patch soon.

i think in season 2 you can join what ever tourney you want. the first year is ment to be authentic

# 45 ehh @ 11/26/08 02:12 PM

Yeah I think you'll get invited to one of the preseason tournaments each year after Year 1.

Well that sucks then. So where the tournaments like this before the authentic schedule patch and can you customize schedules for your first season?

I'm really not concerned by getting invited, I just find it odd that the other teams don't play out the tournaments.

Nice job with the roster, btw. You guys did great!

Can't describe it, but I'm not feeling the game play as much post-patch. Maybe it's the new initial game feel wearing off, but it seems to play tighter and more rigid.

That was in the game before today's patch.

So cool how when you do the shoot around with the guy before the menus, it will tell you your favorite team's next game.

Are you sure? I only saw my the local weather box in the upper left - and very random at that. This is the first time that has ever popped up for me.

yea it was

# 53 BigJim78 @ 11/26/08 05:17 PM

What they should have done, is given us the ability to edit the schedules to add any left out games.

# 54 mistershadez @ 11/26/08 05:20 PM

Customize schedules are available in year 2 of the dynasty. Only restricted with the "authentic" schedule in your first year.

# 55 AC006299 @ 11/26/08 06:06 PM

I know there has been talk of the authentic schedules being messed up if teams were in a pre-season tournament...

could some one do me a huge favor and tell me the non-conference games for Miami (Ohio)?? we were in the 2k C vs. C tournament and im wondering if they put the Weber State and UCLA games in anyway since they have been played already

Thanks in advance

PS-anyone with 360 have it yet?

No it wasn't. That is definitely new. It was never there before. At least for me it wasn't.

# 57 JT30 @ 11/26/08 06:35 PM

Its been there before

It was there before. It showed me that UNC was playing Chaminade on the 24th when I played this weekend.

It was in...I wasnt in!...It was in!. Who TF cares!? gimme a break. This game has so many problems, thats the least of my concerns about patching

Did they fix the choppy 'pop tart' jumping animations and smooth them out more as well as tighten up the post game play and improve the offensive rebounding that was non existant???

Did they add player lock?

Did they add the ability to play any matchup in your dynasty?....how did they not fix that??

I think it was pretty clear in Jab Step's thread on what was gonna be included in the patch. Why are you asking these questions when you already know the answer?
