NCAA Football 12 Title Update #2 - Waiting on Approval From Microsoft and Sony

[PaperBoyx703]

If this patch turns out to be a bust, or make matters worse I will stay far far away from this forum bc the constant negativity that will erupt will make me hate the game even more. I'll try to maintain my sanity and tolerance if this happens.

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 assuming by early he means around the release date instead of waiting like so many people claim they will do.

And on the tuners, they are patching it before a tuner comes out, and I rather have it that way. Imagine if they tuned something then the patch broke it. Forums would be filled.

However, there is ZERO excuse why we've yet to see a tuner pack. Wasn't this highly touted so they could update gameplay tweaks without patch submission? It's been a joke for two years running. What's the point of even having tuner packs if they'll just wait until the patch drops anyway?

They were not going to release a tuner pack with the game as buggy as it is. If they did, there would be the possibility of the patch messing up everything that was addressed by the tuner pack, so EA would have to do the tuner pack all over again.

I'm sure that they'd rather get everything fixed A.S.A.P. so they can move on to making NCAA 13. Releasing a tuner pack prior to the patch could've proven counter-productive in that regard.

People are upset because this is probably the last patch for a game that needs multiple patches. Additional patches will begin cutting into the next work cycle for NCAA 13. Oddly, I've had EA terms of service notice show up twice the last two times I've played the game. Both times, the game froze up on me in mid-play. Very little about this game works as advertised. Team Builder, Stadium Sounds, Dynasty Mode... Coach mode in the practice dome sorta exemplifies how features get implemented without forethought.

No, I'm comparing the general consensus of two games, one of which I have played and is severely flawed. Despite this, the other has been received even less favorably.

I just popped in my NCAA and downloaded some type of update....can't be the patch can it?

Most likely it's either the first patch or it's the online policy update. I can check in a second though to see if I get anything.
