NCAA Football 12 Roster Glitch Confirmed, Patch to Address Concerns

[Sabo's corked Bat]

The only good thing is these players will only be a round for four years and I'm already in my 7th season of Dynasty. Still sucks though. Does this mean that they are going to have to redo the named rosters. Or will the patch work with existing files?

I guess the difference is I have pride in my work. I look at each project as a direct reflection on me so no matter if it's a $500 website or a $40,000 website that my company sells I take my time and make sure it's done right.

I know EA is a major money maker but it just seems that attention to detail is lacking in their QA department. It has been for some time.

yes I asked about this finding on "Community Roster release day" and it was largely ignored... One thing I DID notice though was the First 360 roster released, did not appear to have changed the settings from the few checks I made on it.

anyone else want to check? I believe it was the same as Pasts Padre's

maybe wishful thinking

one way to find out, assuming it shows tendency on the depth chart online.

Ok here goes. I started a new Dynasty be deleting all rosters I had in the roster delete/load screen (I have 360 btw) then I went to console and restarted the game. Started a dynasty with the autogenerate names thing. I picked Michigan as my team. Checked the roster to make sure it was default, #16 QB still scrambler as he should be Center #50 still pass blocker and so on. Was definately the default with random names.

I then set all the recruiting stuff to auto and simulated the whole first season and all the way through recruiting in the preseason part. Once I got all the way to Signing Day and I took screenshots of like 20 players that were hard commits to Michigan. I then advanced through the next stages and checked them. I advanced all the way to the Cut Players part, went in and checked them at that stage. They ALL still had the SAME tendancies they had on the recruiting board on signing day at this point!

So I advanced past the cut players part and then past the custom conference and schedule part to Week 1. I then went into the Edit Rosters section to check all the players again. A large number of them had changed. Its easier for me to say the ones that didn't, 2 possession recievers I had were still possession. But QB was changes to scrambler from balanced and a bunch of others. I stuck in some screenshots so you can see.

I have more but here is QB and HB changing. Oh and just to verify I only went into Edit Roster to view them I didn't press A at anytime to even open their edit menu. So these changes all on their own without me doing anything to them in edit. They still showed the right thing on the Cut Player roster but were different on Week 1 roster so there you go, proven. :P

And yet this game gets high review scores with all this terrible glitches ....

Man...I don't play for a couple days and don't visit the site and I come back to this?

So all the work those guys did building rosters is for not and somebody is going to have to redo them?

What a waste of their valuable time. EA should give these guys a few hundred bucks for their troubles. I think this probably runs deeper than we all know too. There's probably a lot of other stuff that is affected by this glitch. I'm betting the patch won't be released for weeks.
