Patch imminent..? - Operation Sports Forums
NCAA's Broken Dynasty Mode -- Another reason we need a revolution - Operation Sports ForumsWe didn't see a progression fix until October last year.
I don't think the squeaky wheel was squeaking loudly enough to get greased last year. This year the issue has consumed this board, IGN, and the EA forum, and tons of people have been calling, e-mailing, and live chatting support about it. I don't know exactly how it was last year, but if anything would get their attention it was the conflagration of complaints that has been roaring the last week.We didn't see a progression fix until October last year.
Info about PATCH from EA - NCAA® Football Series General Discussion - NCAA Football Series: EA ForumsThis is very frustrating. I'm in year 7 of my dynasty and these things have really started to affect my dynasty.
I got the #1 WR recruit in the nation and was excited....until I saw his 31 juke and 32 spin moves.
My kicker has 40 KPW and 40 KAC.
#1 MLB in the nation comes in at an 81 OVR......but with 41 AWR.
Half of the teams are D+ or worse and teams like Texas, UF, and Michigan are sitting at C or worse.
I was really enjoying this game so much....this is so frustrating.
Just got off the phone with customer support Ryan, who was very nice and helpful.....(FYI, like most companies, EA uses a call center not associated with them for customer support, which also runs their online forums apparently)
He apologized for the problems and said that EA didn't expect the popularity of this years game. He said it far exceeded the initial players from last year, which is why there are so many online issues.
He said two that they just received a company wide email saying that the patch was due by "end of day" which means 6pm central time. The said it should fix some of the major problems such as progression.
He said, and this was just his opinion, that EA always gives a brighter forecast for the update then what usually occurs and that his guess would be that the patch would actually out between midnight and tomorrow afternoon.
He put me on hold for about ten minutes, and when he came back he said that he just spoke to the people running the forums and that they had an onslaught of activity which is why they haven't been updating. He said that the call center has received tons of calls and that the online administrators were going to give some announcement on the EA forums, and hopefully this would alleviate some of the calls that they were getting.
Anyway, I'm not saying this is rock solid, absolutely true information. Just what I was told and he sounded credible and honest.
Just wanted to pass this along so we have some idea of what to expect.
Also, from posts on the EA forum I read that Madden 08 I believe had some problem regarding progression, and it made you start a new dynasty after the patch. Again, just info and not necessarily 100 percent accurate.
