NCAA Football 12 Roster Glitch Confirmed, Patch to Address Concerns

[Armor and Sword]

Well....I will restart my dynasty tonight with the default rosters. And let them name them with fictional names. No biggie at all.


Although I love having real names......by year 4 most of them that I know are gone anyway and the game is full of fictional recruits.

Far from a game breaker for me.

Then a few months from now I will DL a new named roster.

This game out of the box is too good to shelve over this.

Same here. I don't want to wait a month to dive into and enjoy CC and Dynasty. I can live with the current players being askew if new recruits (players I will spend more time with throughout dynasty anyway) can be fixed with the patch without me having to restart a dynasty.

So basically if we want teams to play like they should we need to use the default EA roster with numbers and just have them autoname?

Yeah I know that's what I was thinking. Was this an issue only associated with this year, or has this been an ongoing problem with NCAA titles and we just hadn't caught it?

Sounds crazy, but I'm sure in the Online Age where we can get things immediately, most of us don't spend a lot of time playing with the unedited, not-named EA rosters, so maybe this was always a problem. Anyway, the past is the past, and hopefully EA learns from this problem that having a microscopic eye during testing is very important. Things like this should not go unnoticed, since edited rosters are used by almost every NCAA player.

I'd rather EA take their time and make a comprehensive patch than just issue a band-aid patch that doesn't effectively fix many of the bugs or creates new ones. Also hopefully that restriction on EA sports World media will be lifted.

So let me get this straight. Auto generated names and manual equipment changes will jack the game up? In dynasty mode as well.

I dont have any downloaded name rosters, only auto generated. I also edit equipment heavily. You all are saying my tendencies are jacked up now correct?

I'm gonna go and say i'm about 85% sure this was an issue in past NCAA games, but with them tuning and playing with the on the field gameplay this year we only now noticed, especially since now QB's take off and scramble.

Auto-generate will NOT affect the tendencies, HOWEVER, editing anything, even somethinh small like a wristband will change the tendency.


Since OD freezes left and right, im going to play offline with auto generated names and noy edit recruits to battle this bug.
