Took the plunge.

Other than the no huddle glitch (EA will tune it I am confident of that) the game is even better and I already loved it.

Smooth and crisp are perfect descriptions. Amazing how much more vivd the colors are now.

And man the defense is much tighter. I love the gameplay even more.

NCAA 12 is the best in the series. No question.

I think you are right about it being the best in the series but this is only after the no huddle is fixed. And they need to fix custom playbooks being able to choose wildcat and other missing formations. And fix the whole special link button to special teams because thats only linking to punt block return when on defense.


I think the online dynasty problems are server issue. This has been discussed earlier I'm sure but I don't think its necessarily the game. Just the server.

With these fixes, having coordinaters only need to recruit for their side of the ball, and slight changes in the recruiting system, next years game will be amazing in my opinion. EA will gain my respect

Haven't read the whole thread so this may have been mentioned...

But, are there any plans to modify the way recruiting rankings are set up??


Just advanced to preseason recruiting and...
Of the top 17 recruits, 11 are wide receivers
Of the top 28 recruits, 17 are wide receivers

It's like this every year. The top lineman (offense or defense) checks in at #21.

anyone know if the draft classes are fixed when transferring to madden 12??

Aside from the no-huddle issue (which like you said, will be addressed), I'm very happy with the patch. I played the Notre Dame-Michigan game, controlling the Irish and lost 13-12. Denard scrambled a lot against me, and although I did sack him 5 times, he still had over 50 yards rushing and over 4 yards per carry. I missed 2 FGs and just could never do anything with the ball once I got near the red zone. Still, a very fun game.

I didn't think the tendency bug was a huge deal but man, it is almost like a night-and-day difference in how the game plays now that the players actually play the way they are slotted.

This game is still complete garbage until they fix the most glaring issue, which is OD's experiencing "transfer failed." The incompetence is amazing over at EA Sports.

I dont really have any complaints about the patch... Seems to play well. I wish they would have fixed if you are an OC or DC in dynasty and you have televised games then it should count towards your school televised games, either regional or national. This is what brings down television ratings in recruiting pitches because itll show 0 television records eventhough you would have played on television for those games.

This is just my opinion, but I honestly don't hate the patch update...

My one real gripe is that QB acc and punter acc are horrible now. Using Nathan Scheelhaase from Illinois (who's accuracy isn't completely horrible, just 79 lol), I was missing wide open WR's like you couldn't believe it. In fact, I threw this one pick where my wr did a hitch, and my QB throws it all the way to the sideline, to the LB in the flat...who had no chance normally in that play. I had been running with Scheelhaase towards the LoS and the WR was directly 10 yards in front of me, and the LB about 10 yards away form me, but 75 degrees to my left (WR was on left side of the field). It was ridiculous lol.

Luckily, this is one annoying tuneup that I CAN edit away with sliders...it's just more of a problem for people who play online.

And no huddle glitch is kind of annoying, especially when the team goes into wildcat and the RB remains QB for the rest of the drive (when I faced auburn for example), but it's overall survivable.

All in all, I don't think this patch was bad or whatever as everyone is saying. I'm glad to have it, but not worth the wait. I just look forward to the next patch to fix up current problems haha.



Oh, and I seriously hope Ben Haumiller doesn't end the next patch's blog with "I trust you will find that it has been well worth the wait"...don't say egotistical statements like that when your patch is clearly not perfect (don't get me wrong, I'm cool with the patch, but for how long we had to wait, it didn't do enough). If like 50% of the community hates the patch, stop and think, "what am I doing wrong?"
