Have they fixed the schedule issue where some schools have only 11 games, including some (Wisconsin and Washington State, included, I believe) that are missing a conference game?

Look at my last two posts in this thread for visual evidence and further explanation.

I'm at work so I can't check this. I've put my dynasty on hiatus until the progression stuff was fixed. After LTP1, a lot of it was fixed, but they said that they wouldn't fix the kickers until the patch. Could someone test out this part of the patch?

This makes it sound like KPW and KAC will progress more, but I'm curious if the recruits have been fixed to start out with more KPW and KAC. Did the majority of kickers go from this from FR -> SR:
KPW: 50 -> 60

to this:
KPW: 50 -> 90

or this:

KPW: 70 -> 90?

Since most teams only carry 1 kicker, if they only fixed progression, then it sounds like teams could still have a year or 3 of very poor kickers.

Thanx!

124 guys out of over 2500 recruits, seems perfectly realistic to me.

What difficulty level do you play on and what changes will you be making?

sweet, I can confirm we have mud on PS3. I guess you have to be in medium rain though.

What about no rain, any grass stains or anything?

All-American, Coach Mode, and pass rush and rush defense sliders must stay somewhat neutral after the 2nd patch IMO. The pursuit is just too powerful now and high pass rush sliders (75 and above) mean insta-sacks on PA still if anything more than 4 men are rushing. Like I said, this isn't a game problem but a slider problem for those who tinkered pre-patch.

Hopefully lowering pass rush sliders won't result in QB's having 10 seconds in the pocket on 3 and 4 man rushes on non-PA plays.
