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

[mestevo]

Not disappointed in 12 at all yet, have really only had a couple of bugs crop up (I had to attempt a 2 point conversion from my own 30 yard line), and am looking forward to starting an online dynasty with 3 people who are about to buy their first NCAA title ever in a couple of weeks. This is the most fun I've had in NCAA since 05 when it first hooked me.

Sorry, but it is true that unless you are digging through forums many reported problems will never affect you or ever go noticed. This community is simply a very vocal minority.

I have no interest in predicting the success of NCAA 13 without knowing its features and based on 8 weeks of NCAA 12 sales.

I'm as frustrated as everyone that the patch isn't out... I pretty much only play online dynasty, so its hurt me as much as anyone with games not counting (fortunately I haven't had a dynasty I couldn't advance yet).

That said, I'll buy the game again next year (and I've never said i wouldn't). Even in its buggy state I've still gotten more playing time out of this game than I do most other $60 video games.

Yes I wish EA would get there act together, and as I've stated (and others have as well), they will "try" to do so but as long as they are selling well they aren't going to make any outrageous efforts (like firing Haumiller, re-organizing the development, etc).

And there are enough people like me that are not willing to deny themselves a college football game (regardless of how buggy it is) to try to send the message to EA, that those sales figures won't drop enough to make a difference.

I'm not giving EA a pass, far from it, but the only thing we can do to make them change is stop buying the game... and I, personally, am not willing to do that.

That's not true at all, I'm playing an OD with a handful of guys in their mid 30's who would not be caught dead on these forums and what do they complain about?

freezes, failures to upload, screwed up tendencies in recruiting, physic DB's and jumpin' linebackers. Sound familiar?

It doesn't take a forum to see these issues.

Both our accounts are anecdotal though. I've yet to have the game freeze on me, doesn't mean nobody's game is freezing. You're playing with people who are complaining, doesn't mean everyone is.

so at this point of the day is the patch a no go for ps3 users???

Now there is a 'prophecy' that it is coming out tommorrow. I get off work at 2 AM, if I can make it the extra hour I'll be sure to be up to see that day pass with no patch. Then see all the 'EA LIED TO US' even though all the dates being thrown out are by random people that are just making guesses.

If people are frustrated about EA, the only real things to do are stop buying the game, which is constantly reinforced here... or actually complain somewhere where it might really put some kind of pressure on EA. Complaining here isn't going to do anything (no offense to the owners of OperationSports).

Drop by Kotaku.com or Joystiq.com and drop a tip about how the game is so poorly supported. Maybe if they get enough in the way of tips they'll do some reporting on it and put some heat on EA. EA is huge on image. Enough bad publicity and they'll actually put some better effort into quality control.

Both sites have tip links.

Absolutely true, which kind of proves my point. There are a bunch of different people out there with a bunch of different opinions.
