FNL is amongst my favorite series of all time. Though critically lauded and having built a strong fan base it never gained a whole lot of traction in ratings.

EA Sports has pushed a server side fix for the offseason contract error which ...

NCAA Football 12 Dynasty Problems Surface
With NCAA Football 12 having now been out for nearly a week reports are starting to come in on issues discovered within Dynasty mode. Outside of the exception of the absurd wait time for advancing Online Dynasty each 'week' and some problems progressing when utilizing Teambuilder squads the mode looked to be relatively clean on the surface with good sim stats and the Custom Conferences and Coaching Carousel working properly.
