NCAA Football 12 Roster Glitch Confirmed, Patch to Address Concerns

[SECElit3]

In any case, it has become more increasingly clear that EA has no true testing protocol for these games. They may test them, but I am assuming it is a very light testing process. When I hear words like undeterministic and poorly written when referencing code, that either spells incompetence, laziness, or just lack caring for either their customers or self-respect. My plan was to purchase 2 football titles this year but now it looks like I will only be buying one. When is this company going to realize that customer satisfaction is what drives business? They are in business because of the customer. EA's track record over the last several years is horrible. The games get more "buggy" with each release and their patches only seem to worsen the problems. These games continue to sell, but I imagine, unless something changes quickly, they will see that eliminating competition won't be enough. People eventually get fed-up. They saw the sales drop with Madden and will probably see the same with this series. With that being said, if the person in charge of PR were working for me, they would be on the streets looking for employment.

With all the work that went on, I'd imagine a date with a bottle of good beer and a wood chipper.

What if you auto named your roster to start a dynasty will the players still be messed up? Dont wanna search 94 pages, lol.

As far as I've gleamed from the thread, you should be fine. The change on occurs when you directly edit the player. If you let the game rename everyone to "Bob Johnson" or "BigMcLarge Huge", you should be fine.

the rosters are not a big deal to me, as i don't use'em till the season starts anyway ( & most are f'd up anyway so there really no lost there )

the game play's great without named rosters, but the ? has to be asked to those OS'ers who got the game EARLY.......why didn't u say anything about this when u had the game weeks before the rest of us?

Makes u wonder what issues with the game are real or fake given all the crap that posted here.

It wasn't an obvious problem. It took time of going through the dynasty to find the problem. Then, once the problem was discovered, it made sense of so many other issues that had been prevalent.

Maybe because they weren't playing with named rosters, since those weren't finished until after release?

People we are the Beta Testers . EA knew about all these bugs. Lets remember that we are passionate about college football and they are passionate about making money. You can complain , call them names , etc. They have your money. They will fix the game when they feel like it. All this interaction with the Community but after the cash has been pocketed .Nothing . On 7/18/11 they made a post on the NCAA 12. blog. About the many issues? No they said this: " NCAA Football 12 is in stores now, and getting rave reviews from the gaming media. Check out some scores we've received so far. Check back often as more will be added once they come in." It is real funny how some people on this site will defend EA. The developers are on vacation . Fine. But if someone can post a go buy of game it is great comment , someone can address all these problems. They do not care.
