Fixing Hader and King and not punishing the exploiters who used them as an excuse to exploit just validated their actions.

And no, I am not saying that those pitchers shouldn't have been fixed.

Also, I wonder how many threads we get in the morning about the game and app being down?

This is a great way to deflect for every fanboy living on this forum that’s 31-210 batting .207 and claimed NoThiNg Is WRoNg WiTH HaDeR AnD KiNg YaLl JuSt SuCk.

First it was cheaters that didn’t exist, then bots on the market that didn’t exist, then Hader and King glitches that didn’t exist. Yall could go to the Olympics with the tricks you do for SDS

Take a day off Forum King, you’ve earned it. Maybe actually go play the game so you can stop crying about cardinals being so expensive every day. We let you cry in peace, you just thought we didn’t notice. Like SDS thought people were too dumb to notice broken pitches when in reality it was just the Forum King and his pennant race disciples that are too blind and stupid

Yeah, I have seen that.

I always chuckle at it. The people that are going to buy and start playing the College football game were always going to play the college football game.

It's like me (and I am sure many others) will be come GTA 6 release. I will be playing that regardless of any action or inaction on SDS' part.

And did you see the news that came out about CFB27 today? You can now pay real money to speed up your offline dynasty coach build progression. EA continues to be the worst.

Exactly my thoughts too. I really hope this update will be different and won't crash anything or should I say everything. Unfortunately, my expectations are very low.

That's like the #1 issue unless it's just my xbox, but I'm pretty sure it's not since others complain about it too.

They are complaining that it took too long, it won’t work, only did it because of college football… just a bunch of babies.
