With the recent patch, when I go to the media/poll tab...here is the listing of the top 5 teams...New Hampshire...West Georgia...Albany...Binghamton...Maine. This top 5 of the listing of the top 25 are the same for the media poll...coaches poll...net rankings. Prior to this patch everything was fine.

Hmm...installed the most recent patch, so checked the polls in all my associations (from brand new so at1 May to those in mid season) and didn't see the phenomenon you're mentioning...all polls seem reasonable. Do you have multiple associations set up and have you checked others to see if you're seeing the same thing? At what date is the association with the results you mentioned?

The date it showed up was Nov 20,2024. I made a save at the start of the season... before I played any games...and all was good. The problem arose between my second and third games of my current season...and the problem developed when I d/l and installed the latest patch the other day. TXS

I went back and used a back up save to start the season. After completing my third game...I checked the polls and they were messed up again. Prior to that everything was fine. FWIF...I started playing on a demo version at the start of the season..then purchased the game continued. The problem occurs after completing my third game of the season.

Since it's repeatable, I think you should send your game files (for a Save BEFORE the problem occurs) for Gary to check out. Follow the guidance for submitting game files that's provided the upper right of the HELP screen within the game.

Yeah, I just came on here to say the same thing. Since the most recent patch, Top 25 rankings are WILDLY off. Preseason rankings are reasonable but as soon as the season starts, I've got Albany (3-1), Mass-Lowell (2-1), Stony Brook (2-2), MD-Baltimore Co (1-2) and Binghamton (1-2) as my top 5. The games themselves seem to be playing out appropriately so I'm guessing it's just the ranking algorithm that's off. I'm assuming that this won't affect any gameplay going forward.

Just a quick follow-up, 6 to 7 games into the season it seems to have at least started to correct itself. Preseason ranked teams are starting to float their way back to the top. Nevertheless, the early season rankings are clearly off.

Also, the Norton Watch is now incorrect. So to the game logs as they no longer reflect the correct team ratings.

I think it has to do with the removal of home/away wins/losses from those early tournament games. I will check it out and correct it
