Give me a break, you are going by some of the ridiculous reviews by some of these gaming sites. Have you even read them, they are straight nonsense.

How are people "buying the game early?" They are buying it on release date. Why should we "wait" for major features to become playable before enjoying the game? This isn't lack of dreads or field degradation or whatever. The game freezes, constantly. Online/offline dynasties, Play Now, etc. Add to the transfer fails in Online Dynasty and why should the consumer wait to enjoy the product and the features that the developer touts, just because the developer can't get their **** together?

If this was a new feature, I might be able to understand a little more. But this feature has worked by-and-large perfectly fine for the past two years and now is completely broken at the moment.

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but it's "woe is me." There are plenty of other forums on OS, feel free to browse them whenever you'd like.

You're right.

Calm down. He has a right to express his opinion. Same goes with you. As long as he isn't trolling its fine.

I'm wondering if the additions to the patch only have to do with stability issues or if other aspects of the game were cleaned up as well.

This is great news. I am already enjoying the game immensely. So this will tighten things up, fix the roster bug (and I will start my dynasty all over and create half a dozen of my prized recruits to go after again...and land!). I don't mind starting over....that is how much fun I have had with this game. For me NCAA 12 is a minimum 2 year cycle keeper for me. Madden 12 will be the same.


I have read so many complaints about the freezing bugs. I did not realize how bad it has been for so many OS'ers. Like I have posted, I have had the game freeze on me in my dynasty hub 4 times total. I have never had a game freeze during an actual game. So I can really understand the game being unplayable due to that freezing issue. I have been very fortunate in that regard.

No doubt the stability issues are being addressed on this big patch. Knowing this will probably be the last patch for this title I am glad EA is taking the extra time it needed to make sure it covered major warts.

Of course we all hope it does not trigger something else....and I hope some live tuners can address some gameplay flaws on defense (safety play) which may not have been addressed with this patch and of which have been well documented here in the community. I would love to throw out my house rule of going deep once per quarter ( it has worked out well as I have not hit that deep pass 100%).

Anyway.....good times ahead for NCAA 12.
