NCAA Football 12 Title Update #2 Details

[BenGerman]

I haven't touched NCAA 12 for almost a month now. Which is funny, because I've played some of NCAA's worst versions all year around, yet I can't get myself to play this one (which I think minus the huge bugs is a top 3 for the series). Hopefully a patch comes soon, because as a gamer who plays just about everything, I'm always looking for a few games to trade in around this time of year.

I think EA does a good job for the most part, but everything about this years release has bugged me. Its kind of astonishing to me that we have had no updates on the patch from EA. None. I won't say I'll never buy another EA game again, because thats not true. What I will say is their two Football games are on thin ice for me, and when companies like SCEA are coming to boards and constantly asking what the fans want, and 2K produces an elite Basketball game every year, I don't think I'll feel to badly about not having a football game to play.

Hopefully this isn't seen as bashing EA or even a rant. Honestly, there is a good chance I pick up next years version. There is a good chance I don't sell back this years version. My hopes are that EA takes a look around, and finds they are not even close to producing a top tier sports game with either Madden or NCAA. If you want to ensure people buy your game, make it a good one.

I am just joining the forum, when does the patch expected to be release for NCAA 12?

No one really knows.

In other news, I guess we can all rejoice in a way. The early reviews for Madden 12 score it way worse that NCAA 12 so it looks like even before the patch NCAA may be the better game this year.

People easily forget last gen, when we had no choice. We either accepted the imperfections (which every sports game enounter because...it is a video game and not real life) or a programming bug of some sort that comes up when you put enough hours into a game. We kept playing, and enjoying our franchises. What the heck has happened here? Yes the game has warts and bugs. But I am in year 3....with named rosters and having an amazing time. And I know there are hundreds of thousands of NCAA 12 players out there that are too. OS has become a tiny island in a vast ocean that "so called" hard core sports gamers come and gather to wallow in their frustrations that they can't get a realistic game experience or this is broken or that is not working right and placebo effect this.....oh my goodness. And it is on every sub forum here. Even for the so-called greatest sports games of our lives (The Show 2011, NBA 2K11). Everyone has a right to express their opinions. But the core disfunction that has really plagued this great community is the intense, loud and immature posts that have spread like a disease and have infested and trolled what are meant to be informational threads as well as mature and intelligent discussions about our great sports games of today. Think what you all want about EA, or 2K basketball or EA NHL or whatever. We have never had so good with sports video games......ever. I don't care what the negative voices keep bitching about. Everyone holds on to memories of yesteryear because yeah....there were some great games....back then! But now? They can't hold a candle to what we have. My opinion. The patch will get here. And I feel bad if your stuck in this misery of not being able to play this game. I just can't understand that line of thinking. The game is extremely playable. I don't get it. Guess I am either too old to care or maybe I am blissfully ignorant. It's a video game.....nothing more...nothing less. Life is short. Play hard.

Freaking best post I've read since becoming a member here. FREAKING BRILLIANT!!!

I understand everyone wants the patch now, and I udnerstand the need to patch these games is upsetting.

But if we want this to be the last patch we need, and we want it to be tested as thoroughly as everyone says they want, then we can't rush it. You can't have it both ways. If I have to wait a little bit extra for a patch that corrects the issues and is tested properly, but I won't need another patch down the road I am ok with that.

Now if we wait all this time and the patch is a disaster that's another story.
