NCAA Football 12 Roster Glitch Confirmed, Patch to Address Concerns

[Chief]

A friend of mine noticed, about week 13, RB ypc seemed very high. Most backs were averaging between 6-9 ypc compared to the user backs which were averaging 4-5.5.

in RTG, i created a speed WR. i got five stars in high school. started my college career, and my speed was in the 80s and my catching in the 90s. my guess would be that i turned into a possession WR at this point. so the bug may be affecting this mode as well. that remains to be confirmed. it is still playable, of course.

i agree that there is a lot of EA bashing going on. some of it is annoying. but my main question is this: where is EA in all this? for all i know, they "admitted" there is a roster bug because someone from OS tweeted about it. that may very well be true, but why don't they come out and apologize to the people affected by the bug? i have also seen one of the developers try to help people with freezing issues. but nothing on the rosters, no timetable for a patch, etc. surely, they think it's "damage control" not to come out publicly but i may be doing more harm than good. my two cents.

They don't probably know a time table for the patch. They need to fix most of the bugs and then, it's a two week wait for MS/Sony to approve the patch. Why give out a date when it's out of their hands when they they fix it? Could you imagine if they gave out a specific date and that date passed? You would have another 100's of pages of a thread. If they said something like, 4-6 weeks from now, I wouldn't have an issue with that.

As far as coming into the Lions den(this thread) and offering an apology, I really don't see that happening. As much as you would like to think everyone would treat it here the same way and accept the apology, that won't happen. There will be people still giving shots to the person that came in with the apology. I could be wrong, but on the Madden side, people gave the EA developers and one animation guy shots left and right. The animation guy, Simon, only posted twice.

Maybe when they come out with the patch and announce it, a apology will be forthcoming in a new thread.

Who knows.

Sorry, I know this question has probably already been answered but does this glitch happen with auto named rosters? Im sure it does but jw. Thanks.

Nope. As long as you only auto-rename them and don't go in and edit anything else you'll be fine.

someone mentioned that even if you use numbered rosters this will happen. I didnt read where anyone tried this. They all autonamed.

So my question is. If you start a dynasty with default (numbered rosters) will this happen if anything is edited within the dyasnty? Since all the other roster edits were done outside of dynasty. Or do you have to wait till you get recruits and only edit them? I dont know if anyone has gone to the trouble to try this in multiple years but from the test that SGM used he didnt try it with numbered rosters.

As someone responded earlier, the first batch of rosters, the ones name QB #12, these can be 'auto name generated' and they are fine for the duration of their college careers...HOWEVER, someone noted a few pages back ALL recruits have the potential of switching tendency when they are finalized onto the roster just as the next season starts.

And the way I read it, its from the first recruit ON that this happens, every year! For a offline Dynasty hermit(me), that's a game killer. I am just waiting to see if EA will actually fix this.

from what im reading that you can use the autogenerated rosters but you will never be able to edit anything for them to not switch. I wondering if you start with the numbered rosters and edit within dyansty if they will still switch.
