NCAA Football 12 Title Update #3 Sent to Microsoft and Sony

This scares me. I'm afraid this next patch will remove my safety's arms and he'll have to bob up and down and headbutt the ball in order to swat it.

This game is simply broken. I really want people on here to name FIVE realistic things this game does gameplay-wise. You would be hard-pressed to find two. It's time to stop giving them our money, once and for all. Why do they deserve it?

Every team plays the same, Mizzou blocks the plays the same way georgia tech does, and power-I teams block the same way as alabama's one-back, even though they are supposed to be almost exclusively zone blocking. The DBs mirror routes and the LBs have super-human jumping abilities.

They can't even get the passing game right, the football is way too big, and part of the LB issue is that the ball never takes a realistic trajectory. Ever. That's why deep balls are rarely completed unless its the four verts or someone is 5 yds open.

The game is simply a travesty and what will the no-huddle fix really? Nothing with the gameplay. Nothing at all.

Its time these sports games just bite the bullet and implement real-time physics. That is really the only option at this point. Canned animations are from the past and clearly are not working anymore. Real-time physics would create zone blocking and chip blocking and i dunno, other realistic football outcomes. But this canned animation garbage has got to stop. Once and for all.

NCAA 13 and beyond is barely gonna get a rental from me unless I see a complete game overhaul, or there are worthy improvements in gameplay and the forums on here don't rip the game apart. I've been burned too many times because of my need for a football game. I haven't bought madden in 4 years and I'm officially done with NCAA. I will just be playing Call of Duty and PES for the next couple years it looks like. At least those games are fun. And I can't bear to give EA one more dime of my money until they release bug-free games.

I know battlefield is a better game than COD, but I can't give EA my money, in any capacity, anymore. I cannot support them.

Bye-bye EA from my life. I won't even buy FIFA this year even tho I love the EPL bc I don't want them to have my money. Good Riddance, guys.

Come on everyone, think about it, do you really NEED EA games in your life? There are plenty of good substitutes. Good Day.

LOL!
How dare you EA sports

This is absolutely ridiculous, we are aware of a flaw and its not going to be fixed. This kind of thing is exactly what class action lawsuits are built upon.

That's a joke of an answer. You're telling me they're incapable of fixing this? The answers simple, they don't want to invest anymore time into this years version, too busy screwing up 13.

I'm a bit weary on this patch obviously, but I still enjoy playing the game. Fix the no huddle and clean up some OD problems and I will be ok with EA this year. I'm obviously not in the majority here I understand.

I'm with you here. If Ea can fix the no huddle and solve these Transfer Fail issues then I'll be ok and still be able to get roughly 9 months worth of quality use out of the game.

I really don't understand the optimistic, carefree "I'm still having fun" crowd on this forum. Y'all have no backbones. You have to stand up for yourself and demand your money's worth. I can't believe some of you don't mind dbs warping through wrs, dbs with their back turned to qb jumping routes as soon as you hit the button to make no look picks, lead blockers who with a cb 2 feet in front of them change their minds and pivot inside to double team a dt 10 feet away, wrs who stare at a ball as it sails past them without attempting to catch it, des who can turn 180 degrees on a dime on read option plays, qbs who can't lead their targets without overshooting by 15 feet, lbs stopping on a dime to turn 180 degrees and swat a bullet pass with one hand, 5* recruits with 0 offers, 5'10" 190lb rbs trucking 6'7" 310lb dls flat on their back, etc etc.

It just blows my mind how some of you are perfectly content with these glitches. They are EVERY BIT AS GLARING as no huddle and transfer failed and deserve every bit as much attention. I don't know if y'all were just raised to be softies but I was taught not to take crap from anybody and just lie down and accept it. Inb4 internet tough guy

Y'all must have no idea about football because when I play I notice these horrible glaring gamebreaking issues within 1 drive and get frustrated. Maybe we aren't playing the same game because I understand football to a t and can tell you this game does not emulate it.
