NCAA Football 12 Update From EA SPORTS

[Phobia]

Justin can you give us some insight into the tuner patch ideas. I and bet others thought this function would be utilized more. I know Fight Night Champion went the other direction and adjusted the game to the point of almost to much. But the football franchises don't utilize this feature very much.

Like for instance, why don't we see a tuner update that tweaks pass defense and psychic AI? Then couple days later another patch tweaking it further? So on across all different areas of gameplay.

Reason I ask this is because while the game plays "so so" out the box it has many areas that could be tweaked to make the game play more realistic to what we see on Saturday and the tuner patch feature is the #1 way of addressing these issues and all of us getting the best playing football game. It just seems only releasing 2 or 3 tuners kinda of sells the tuner patch function short of what it is capable.

Thanks bro

I'll have to find out to be sure man. I could make something up and tell you now, but that's not how I am. I'll see what I can find out as far as our plans in this area and get back to you guys.

I hope that you guys can also fix the online dynasty rating edits saves. The feature allows the commish to edit the other users players ratings but they do not save for anyone other than the commish. They also dont save for the cpu rating edits. Which is really the most important because years down the road you can help the cpu, by giving the option teams scramblers instead of the pocket passers which they seem to recruit.

Appreciate you guys looking into the tendency issue and hope it gets fixed. Last years NCAA was the best football game I have ever played with dynasty being a big reason. This years NCAA tops it easily in game play and if not for the tendency issue would now be on the top of my all-time football game list.

Since EA is going with a #3 patch for no-huddle only I can only say that for me a #4 patch with tendency fix is a must if I am to keep playing the game, and I really want to keep playing this great game. Without a tendency fix there is no reason to play dynasty, I can only hope EA doesn't leave this great game in that condition.

Thanks again for keeping us informed.

Give us the ability to edit coach ratings throughout dynasty, so we can keep player ratings down at somewhat normal levels.

Dewiel, again, thanks so much for the updates.

No-huddle only being fixed is good, but IMO it is a major let down that that is the only thing being fixed in patch 3...

It's good to see a third patch is on the way. I feel like I have been in "slider camp" for over two months. I took it back to default for a few games, suffered through that experience, then had to just put the game away for a couple of days. I came back, tweaked the sliders and played a nail biter, with Oklahoma against OK State. I made an effort to change my own play calling, and enjoyed the game as much as I have in weeks. Each patch seems to require a time for individual adjustments. Still, this game should have been in better shape when it shipped ten weeks ago.

I'm not going to say "too little, too late." If anything, it's probably too late to sell the game for credit towards another game. I'm going to give Tiburon a chance to make as many fixes as possible to make this game a keeper.
