NCAA Football 12 Roster Glitch Confirmed, Patch to Address Concerns

[aarontab]

Do you ever wonder if these EA people are sitting around laughing about this stuff? Some of it is so absurd and backwards that it seems like it would have to be intentional.

And obviously, i know this is not the case. Those guys work hard and do the best they can to make a great game every year, just throwing out the hypothetical. It would be the best practical joke you could possibly play while collecting a salary.

This bothers me, they owe you nothing.

You hit the nail right on the head, sir.

I was just working on the defensive linemen. It looks like Pass Rushers are not affected much like Pocket Passers. I was looking at Quinton Coples and Donte Paige Moss on UNC and they are Pass Rushers on the edit and roster screen. What happens with DL is Run Stoppers are switching to balanced and Balanced to Run Stoppers. North Carolina DT Tydreke Powell is a run stopper in the edit screen but is shown as balanced in the roster screen. North Carolina DT Jordan Nix is shown as Balanced in the edit screen and as a run stopper in the roster screen. So it looks like pass rushers arent affected at all its just the balanced and run stuffers.

So does this look correct to everyone
QB- Pocket Passer not affected
Balanced-Scrambler
Scrambler-Balanced

RB- Power not affected?
Speed to Balanced
Balanced to Speed

WR- Possession not affected
Balanced to speed
speed to balanced

TE- Blocking not affected
Balanced to Receiving
Receiving to Balanced

OL- Run Block not affected
Pass Block to Balanced
Balanced to Pass Block

LB- Coverage not affected
Run Stopper to Balanced
Balanced to Run Stopper

DB- Coverage not affected
Balanced to hard hitter
hard hitter to balanced

So that is how it is messing with each position set minus the kickers and punters which I forgot to check. Everyone might know this info already but I was curious so I checked it and figured I would share what I found in hopes that it might help.

I only read about 15 pages of this thread and then a thought popped into my head. It seems like in my Troy dynasty something happened to change the tendency of my recruited quarterbacks. I didn't edit anything about them as far as I can remember. I was hoping that I could just play with unnamed rosters and in 4 years it would balance out as the recruits would all be named. I can't do this, however, if something is happening to change the tendencies of my recruited players. Has anyone else noticed this?

So are we going to have to re-do all of our rosters? Are all the roster makers going to have to start over once this is patched? God help EA if this is true for the backlash they will recieve.

I think its going a little overboard calling this HUGE or BIG, BIG. For me, HUGE is if it makes the game unplayable or the game is freezing. Its still an annoying issue no doubt.

Also, if this really happens every year then the blame starts to move over to the customer. 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.
