It takes them years to actually innovate anything in this game and that only happens when we continually demand it every year. And then when they do try to innovate they generally screw up the game.

It's just that we are now on page 104 of this thread and it's pretty clear at this point how everyone feels. We get it, you're not happy this bug is included--I'm not either. If this issue is a game killer for you, that's perfectly OK. If you never want to play it again, or buy the franchise again, thats OK. Hell, if you think EA is the devil that is OK. Everyone is entitled to their opinion....we just don't need to keep belaboring points in this thread that reach far beyond this specific in game issue.

A patch fixing this issue has already been confirmed. That's really all anyone can ask for right now regarding this thread topic specifically. People can either play with unnamed rosters or deal with the tendency switching until the patch is released. End of story. You don't have to be happy that these are your options but you do have to accept it if you want to keep playing this game.

Im trying to move this thread in a more helpful direction by providing facts about the bug, gameplay impressions with and without bug, and also possible work arounds for those that want to use named rosters until the patch hits.

Exactly. I could certainly spend hours upon hours playing the game, analyzing every play, breaking down what the AI did and didn't do right, but I choose not to. I have no problem if people want to do this and there are some posters on here (Gotmadskillzson) that do shed some light in a constructive way on some of the issues NCAA has, and I do appreciate that because it will hopefully lead to fixes down the road.

There are things I see that drive me batty from time to time, but that's true of pretty much any videogame out on the market. I'm willing to overlook the negatives if the positives are strong, and in this case, I do feel that the positives of NCAA 12 outweigh the negatives.

Like I said, I hope the roster issue is fixed (and the roster editors are spared from having to re-input data) and we can all move on from this issue.

Stop calling me Chase. I am waaaay cooler than him.

You don't sound like Chase, either

I know you are playing on AA. I've been on mostly default Heisman since picking the game up and I really hadn't noticed too much of a difference in how the game played from default to named rosters. Have you tried any games on Heisman and were the differences still there?

Actually I've played a good deal on Heisman, tackling slider at 35, threshold of 35.

Mentioned this back in the early pages of this thread--not noticing the tendency bug issues as much on Heisman as AA. QB's still do not attempt as many scrambles as they do with unnamed rosters, but it seems QBs scramble regardless of tendency on Heisman to begin with, which I really like. Sadly I'm one of those sticklers for details so the lack of scramble attempts bugs me...especially knowing the numbers of attempts I'd see unnamed.

Overall Heisman seems to mask the issues that result from the other positions affected by the bug more so than AA.

Only reason I play AA btw is because I HATE the CPU 60 yard FG attempts..haha.

Agreed with all of this, good post bk.

Ill just say this. Ive seen plenty people post the game is broken then peple say its not broken for them. FOR THEM is the key word. Everyone bought their game and expect something out of it. Its not at all a "Bash EA" fest. Me personally I decided to give them this last chance since all the issues with 11 were supposedly going to be fixed in 12. After this fiasco i will not be buying this on day 1 anymore. Ill be renting it maybe like others suggested. As many bugs and glitches that are in this "Final" product from EA people should be complaining about it. If the game is still great for you then good play it. I still personally enjoy the animations and gameplay. But seeing as i play OD this is a gamebreaker for me at least until they try and patch it.
