NCAA Football 12 Roster Glitch Confirmed, Patch to Address Concerns

[PS3guy]

i wish people would just stop arguing and get word out to EA to get it fixed!! I would also like to know more about this so called "HDR LIGHTING SCANDAL" supposedly EA did something to downgrade the graphics?? and the game looks better pre-patch.... I deleted the patch to see myself and idk if it was just my mind playing tricks on me but the graphics looked slightly better after i deleted EAs initial launch update...? if anyone knows anything about this PLEASE HELP!!!

Exactly. I am hoping that once they patch it everything just switches back to normal but there is a chance that it won't be that easy.

Thanks. That means everyone will have to wait maybe a week or 2. I'm not trying to be an *** but EA is only concerned about next year's sales at this point and most of you will have forgotten about this by the time next years game comes around. Starting Monday, they start marketing the hell out of Madden so that will be their financial focus.

Well then I'm a sucker for buying the game. I'm a college football addict & buy the game yearly; no matter how it is because I love playing with USC.

I think the (conspiracy) theory is that EA trotted out this beautiful version of the game with the lighting that didn't play right (slowdown, glitches, etc) and then patched the graphics to reduce those things which made the game run better. Bait and switch mostly.

What other product would you buy every year if you know that out of the box there would be issues and that you wouldnt be satisfied with the product until a month or two after you bought it? I know I cant think of one yet every year you guys rush in mass to buy the game Day 1.

I feel it is huge. Editing rosters is huge in a lot of sports games, but especially college. Their are people that wait to play their game or dynasty until rosters are out. As someone else said, if I want to edit something as simple as a wristband, it potentially screws that player up and how he plays.

Last year I got NCAA first day, this year I got it early. While I like last years, dynasty became unplayable and now this bug this year. I've learned my lesson with NCAA Like I did with Madden three years ago. It will be wait and see next year.

But what really bothers me... Is when I go in my bedroom and see NCAA07 for LG, and see at one point in time, with the exclusive deal, they were able to get it right.

Dont get me wrong. So am I. I just think its useless to overreact to this because it happens every year and with almost every sports game. EA knows about the glitch and I expect that they are looking into how to fix this.

Im more disgusted in myself than EA, I was blinded by NCAA mania. Just last night, my wife said "You shouldve waited two weeks", damn near threw her out the window.
