Or they could've gotten it right the first time and avoided the trouble of releasing a major bug fix patch right after the game comes out.

I used to get very excited for this game, even when the new features were lame like in the NCAA 10 version, I still bought it because I was a colossal football fan and thought maybe just maybe the game would eventually be great, but now I realize that this game will never be where i want it to be, so until they come out with something drastic, either on this gen or the next, I will withhold my money for a different title.

Your choice but if you skip NCAA 12 based on what you are reading here at OS you are really missing out on a great football game. And in the future if you plan to use the forums as a gauge on a game you will find you buy very few sports games anymore. Come in here a week after just about any sports game releases and you will see the entire forum in an uproar about all sorts of issues, some legitimate, others not so much...

Its a solid game. One of NCAA's best imo as far as gameplay goes. But this roster glitch must be fixed ASAP. When it gets patched and the game still plays the same.......i dont think i'll be getting 2013. I'll just make 2012 season rosters for this game. The ability to edit players in dynasty was huge.

I have had it happen in games as well only the movie I posted was the first time it was the entire DB's body passing through my WR's body. In games I have seen arms go through heads and shoulds through shoulders and so on.

All these would be interference if the bodies actually made contact like they should because the DB would have hit the WR before the ball got there. Lets face it how many times have you passed the ball thinking your WR had position on the DB only to have the DB warp speed in front of your WR somehow. Its like body position in this game does not matter.

Also lots of times DBs are contacting your WR's downfield but they don't have illegal contact penelties in the game so you just have to deal with the fact their routes get all messed up.

You do realize in college football there is no 5 yard chuck rule though right? DB's can hit WR's all the way down the field until the ball is in the air.

Now? 10 seconds left in my OD season 2 Bowl game, Arkansas kicks a FG to take the lead over my team. I go to create a highlight, LOCKUP. Lost an entire Bowl Game.

ARGH!

This video I just recorded has to be the worse of it I have ever seen though. This is the reason I set the INT slider down to like 5. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NGoQSU7_LM

I think I saw this video in another thread titled Psychic DB's. Anyway, same as Odogg and Bkrich, haven't seen this in over 50 games.

I used to see it in Madden when I hit the instant replay button several times, but I don't have time to hit replay every play to find "ghosting" issues.

Plus, I just don't see it in regular game play.
