I literally said that a few pages ago....it...did not go over well lol.

I agree, i think they are able to assign tendencies independent of the ratings, and editing the name removes this designation and just bases the tendency on the ratings.

So I guess I will stop making every player on every team 100% authentic with the equipment...

No, do more research. If you go into the edit player mode, it says right at the top of the screen that Denard Robinson's or whoever you pick, has so-and-so tendency. Based on his ratings, he is a scrambler. When you save and back out, there is some piece of code or something somewhere switching the tendency to something else (doesn't apply to all tendencies). If you make Robinson and balanced QB and save, the roster list says he is a scrambler! Has nothing to do with an EA override they put in or anything like that. He was made as a scrambler to begin with. Editing him and other players causes something to flip. You don't even have to change ratings.

Explain Andrew Luck? Do you really think they had to override to make him a balanced QB? No. He was fine to begin with. This bug is causing tendencies to change that shouldn't change.

If it was some sort of override put in place, we'd see it in the edit menu as soon as we make any changes. We don't. It still calculates players correctly in editing; it only changes once you save and look at the roster again.

If you are that bothered by the gameplay with the named rosters, delete them and play with the numbered rosters until the patch hits. Remember back in the PS1 days? Major oversight by EA? Possibly. Major inconvenience for us that want to start dynasty's? Yes. Gamebreaker? No. We just are stuck waiting for the patch--yes it sucks. End of story.

Autonaming rosters didn't change the tendencies for me last night. Actually, I just checked Denard Robinson...autonamed him and he remained a Scrambler. So, I'm pretty sure you could use fake names and not just numbers if you were so inclined.

No offense, Bumble, when is the last time we weren't waiting on a patch for NCAA Football because of a major oversight like this one? It is something HUGE every year. It is just usually something different each time. And yes, for those who are interested more in the dynasty aspect of the game, this one is a BIG, BIG, oversight.

None taken, I can handle people disagreeing with me. When guys are playing opposite of their intended tendency, it wrecks gameplay, ruins immersion, and it flat out isnt fun.

To me, the game is unplayable, can I play with numbered rosters? Yes. But if I want to edit something as small as wristband I should be subjected to that players tendency flip flopping? I paid my money and I should be able to edit whomever I want however I want and if I want their tendency to change it should be because I want to, not some glitchy code.

As for your PS1 comment, im not sure if that was satire or what. But im on PS3, taking advantage of todays technology. Why must I play like a "caveman" for errors on EA's end?

You can compromise your gaming and make excuses for them, but I will not.

I may end up doing the auto-name. I just don't like the numbers
