Another post that offers nothing to the overall community. My only question to you would be - what exactly are you doing with the simulation that you expect this patch to solve for you?
Again do something - there are plenty of participating members of this forum working on projects and really at this point you're irrelevent to the argument. I have to admit I have no idea what you're waiting for but there's a good chance someone in the community has something that does what you're looking for. This "demand" answers point of view quite simply has little impact when it comes from someone who contributes close to nothing positive to the community.
On July 29 Eric posted this: "We've got the final update from David, should be another week or two of testing before release."
Never the less thanks for letting us know Eric. My guess would be the fault is with David Winter. Who by the way has STILL not been heard from. Does anyone EVER hear from home anymore. If you do please speak-up.
And please you fan boys save your breath. This game is as good as its ever going to be so why is Winter not big enough to admit it and we can go on our way. Maybe because the hope is to sell another couple games.

My guess is you don't know what you're talking about. If you want to go on your way then feel free. No one here is going to miss you.

Elmerlee,
I've been quiet long enough. Just please go your seperate way, like you've said, from this forum & game and find a new home. In '06 we had this guy on here, like you, that constantly complained about the game and made negative comments. It added no productivity to the game or the players, thus there was no need for it. We were all very happy when he left, and I've had a bad day and could use a little happiness. (Just kidding!)
You know what guys, elmerlee isn't listening to you, I don't know why you bother. Do what I did a long time ago. Find the little green button beside the "buddy" button at the bottom of one of his posts. Click on it. It will turn red, and his messages will be blocked so you don't have to read his whining.
MjH that is the best idea I've heard all day and I don't doubt that others have done so and that's partially why his nonsense doesn't get answered. I've done that and I appreciate your advice there, wasn't sure how to add an ignore!
If you mean the next 2.2 upddate then maybe a few minor updates, but mainly bug glitch fixes. I can't really go in to detail becuase of my NDA. If you mean 2.5 then you should look at the link below. This is what David said will be in 2.5.
Any word on a new patch? I find the double count of touchdown passes and yardage particularly annoying. Thanks Mark. Go Riders!
I had heard about this and noticed it in my game last night. The rushing yardage was being counted twice. One RB had 265 yards on 9 rushes in the first quarter or so. But, I know he did not rush for that much yardage. I know you mentioned the touchdown passes, but is this also happening with passing yardage? If so, has anyone noticed if it's also skewing the player stats?
Thats great news Gary. Any idea when it will be released as a patch. I have one season ready and another almost ready to go but want the stat issue fixed up before I start.
Yeah, it screws up the stats. It's the reason my GFF is on hiatus and driven me to do the NFLE uniforms which led me to creating a new WLAF solo league with 8 teams North American and 8 teams European.

Glad to here it got fixed , been seeing it a lot on long touchdowns passing mostly .But saw for first time a runner break off 52 yd run for td and after play was over saw it doubled . jUST THE YARDAGE. My cfl league half way through , almost all 20 starting QB our over 3,800 yards so far . So definately in season 2 or later players have hard time breaking there teams passing records . But hey its all fun anyway . Can`t wait for season be over to add some expansion teams.
It only shows up occasionally, probably under a certain situation, so your save may not have the prequisites met for the bug to appear. You need to test it in different games,..in different situations. Testing the same save over and over only shows that that situation doesnt cause it.
I have to say the Elmerlee does have a point. We haven't heard from Dave since June 25 (not that he has to check in or anything). It would be nice to hear something from him. Having said that, though, anything more that he give us is gravy. I love the game, and I can more than tolerate those niggling little issues just to play. Can't wait to see what's next! LTF
I think it's time for the moderators to step in and remove Mr. Lee from the board actually. While we would all like answers the vast majority handle it with a maturity at least befitting a 4 year old. Elmer - not so much. I actually have him blocked, which is fantastic b/c I don't have to look at his stupid ramblings of full lines of question marks or sentences with no start or ending, just a random smattering of words.
It really shows a lack of thought process and ability to convey one's message.
I believe there was a small update in the last few days that final testing was ongoing, not sure where I hear that but it was around these parts so there is some work going on but the message board can be a hectic place if you get sucked into idiotic conversations instead of working on your life.

It's been long enough now, elmerlee just harrasses this forum with his bullyboy posts attacking anyone and everyone he feel's like we can all get tough from the saftey of our own home, hiding behind a computer screen.

I don't think elmerlee is wrong to question the absence of David. It really is a valid point. The issue is how he goes about questioning. It's very rude.
But, back to the point at hand: a LOT of people love the fact that David has been so 1 on 1 with everyone. He makes it seem like you're the only issue he is dealing with at the time. Even when he has major bugs to deal with, his own personal life, hours of programming, etc..., he STILL finds time to answer your individual questions. This is why it comes as a shock when he basically just stops responding in late June.
I think what David has done to this game is fantastic. And if he were to stop right now, people could not say they were let down. But with the promise of upcoming patches, major releases, new additions, etc... people really are eager to see David on these forums and to get that patch.
This is why emerlee is frustrated. It does feel in a way that some of us were lead along on deception. But, obviously David would not just drop the project without telling us first. Even if he didn't say why, he'd at least tell us. I know from experience that programming for the masses can be very taxing. He probably justs needed/needs a break. He'll be back.
That's just my two cents, anyway.

Of course my post are rude. I mean them to be that and more. Although they may not hurry things along they usually get some type response from either David Winter or Matrix which gives us some updated info.
Just check how long it has been since David Winter posted here. Then look and see the last time he even logged into this forum. Maybe look to find the last time Eric had anything to say before his response to this thread.
I've been in business for a LONG time and there are certain business people you can deal with in a forthright manner and some you need to be "rude" with. All these guys need to do is give an honest answer as to what is going on. Matrix should no longer be allowed to sell this game on the premise that it is going to get a reasonable update. Let alone that something like a 2.5 is coming.
If you approach me in good manner and ask something of me, you'll most likely get it ASAP on the other hand, should you forget the fact that we are supposed to be intelligent beings and behave in a Bull Crash manner, you'll get nothing from me at all.
Just perhaps David and a few others feel the same way, you could hardly blame them this has been going on for so long now...............enough is enough.
