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

[BoSoxPujols]

I hope that OS stands up to the EA devs that post here and make it be known that if all EA wants to do is what amounts to spamming of the boards to hype up EA's product to increase sales, but then disappear after the release when the customers and product need support that OS won't let them hype the product around here.

Just like watching college football in 1960! You wanted atmosphere and now you're all complaining, some people are never happy. Best. Game. EVER."

The sad thing is it's the same people on every forum/thread who do it. I'd name off names if I could but who knows what kind of backlash that would stir up.

This patch needs to drop already.

i dont know if this means anything, but on the ncaa forums at easports.com
it says
The forums will experience approximately 30 minutes of downtime at 7 AM Pacific tomorrow morning (Sept. 8) to perform database maintenance.

About a week after the game released I tried to start an online dynasty and it crashed 3 times within about 10 minutes. I haven't turned the game on since.

I guess we're all just supposed to grin and bear it because "this is the process now.". Funny how people always railed on pc gaming because they needed patches all the time, glitchy, etc. Having to deal with this stuff in the controlled world of consoles is a hell of a lot worse.

And apparently your comprehension skills are far below everyone else on this board. If you go back and read my post, I mentioned the thread that someone started saying that EA told him the patch/blanket/quilt/tent/canopy/ would release on 7 September and that if this was not true, someone from EA should come on here and tell us that.

Them saying the patch was sent for certification does not tell anyone that 7 September is or isn't true.

I can't type this out any more slowly to make it easier for you to understand.

Go back to Spring... how many times were EA people here, promoting the game, asking us where the bands sit in the stands, etc.

And since 12 July, how many have made themselves available here?

To make this easy for you... if I were running a company, and someone posted that an employee of my company told them that something would be out on 7 September and I knew this to be wrong, I would be the first person to respond and say, 'This is false.'

Instead... we get nothing. Just as I stated. And the community, all 2%+- of us, have been led to believe that today was the day the patch would drop. Yet... they did NOTHING to stop that.

Sorry if you cannot comprehend this simple issue.

I can't blame them for not making themselves available the state of the game and lack of fix for this significant amount of time is embarrassing. But at the same time some people here are crazy and angry so even if they came into this topic there would be countless people insulting them and such it would accomplish nothing at this point. I do think they could address fans more via there social channels (fb twitter) I mean we have yet to get an updated patch notes list on what was submitted.

Pick any page or two of this 70+ page topic and read it, there's very little for a developer (or anyone from EA for that matter) to need to keep up with. I have a 9 week old son at home, what I've read is not unlike his crying for food, and as soon as that bottle is in his mouth all is right in the world.

I guess we should all post random incorrect things since there is apparently the expectation that EA will chime in to correct you.

Did your son pay $60 for that bottle only to find out it didn't work? Did the makers of that bottle then promise your son that it would be fixed by the end of August, only to find out on the very last day of August that it would be any longer. We are consumer of a product, a very bad product from a company that makes millions off of us we have every right to be pissed off and for most people sounding off in forums is the best way to do it. Not to mention it is one of the most effective ways, If I just stumbled onto this page when I was considering buying NCAA 12, I might have saved myself $60, Of course then I wouldn't have that nifty coaster with a picture of Mark Ingram on the front of it.
