By “improved online performance” for online dynasty does that fix the problem where the wrong records are loaded? Like it gives the guy a loss even though they won a week? How the hell do you fix this?

I don’t feel the patch has changed anything other than the kickoff coverage. That in and of itself improves the gameplay, but punt coverage is still horrendous, and I did not see “Robo QB” fixed at all by changing any of the sliders…..Oh well….Wish there was a patch #3!!!

I’m checking into this, but I believe the patch may have been more of preparation for that feature rather than the launching of it. I hope to have a better idea of when to expect that to be up later today.

I didn’t know this was still happening to people. I haven’t experienced that issue. I don’t believe this patch affects online dynasty performance since the fixes made previously were all server related.

Ya it’s stll happening. It happened in my Big 10 dynasty. It gave a couple of guys a loss even though they won. We are in Week 6. Also, the past few days we’ve been getting “The Dynasty server is unavailble please try later” message. It’s pretty frustrating if I lost that dynasty.

Pasta-

Do dynasty’s that are currently running need to be started over to have the patch take effect, or will the zone coverages, stat issues, etc, fix themselves on current running dynasty’s?

They got submitted at the same time, it could be any day now but it also could be longer. That is on Sony to clear it and push it out.

Is this really the “Final” patch. The recruits you convince to stay are still leaving! I just verified this after the patch. I hope there is another patch to fix that.

I meant the “players” you convince to stay are still leaving (not recruits)…sorry.
