NCAA Football 12 Title Update #3 Available Friday, October 7th (PS3, 360)

[Petey B]

My comment is an ode to the memory of NCAA. Like many on this site, I've already traded in this year's incarnation. Don't misunderstand me, NCAA, pretty little baby, you still cross my mind quite often, and I miss you. I wake up reaching out for pass interference calls, I cry out for the ability to run the no huddle properly. I get scared of player attributes getting matrixed into different ****, and that weird **** only revealing basically every player runs, throws and tackles like every other player. NCAA, I miss you when you were dope. Maybe next year? Peace, NCAA. Loved you for a minute.

Folks said this (the bold) about '09, '10, '11, '12.

We have to be honest with ourselves and acknowlede that drastic will not happen with this developer.

In order for next year's release to improve, there has to be some communication with gamer's "Post-Purchase" to discuss what can/should be done to improve.

That has never happened, thus year-in and year-out the community has been left scratching their heads because issues seem to be becoming worse and more prominant.

I've moved on to EA's best football game, FIFA 12. I will proudly give my money to the competent folks in that studio vs. the incompetent one's at Tiburon. NCAA was a complete failure this year and it's very disappointing. I played the hell out of NCAA 11 and I haven't even played NCAA 12 a fourth of the time I played 11. 11 had it's major problems but it remained playable. They completely broke 12 and continue to break it, ridiculous. I feel bad for my girlfriend who bought me this terrible game.

I still can't believe EA hasn't even mentioned the Option Defense bug. That is a serious issue. I could live with the no-huddle bug, but the Option Defense bug is ridiculous.

I didn't think the option D bug was an issue until I transitioned to a I and Wishbone option offense, now it is a huge issue. I don't want to take a dive when I see this, but it also feels dumb running in for a TD a ton of plays because of that. Usually I cut back in to traffic so the rest of the D has a chance to tackle me. I really hope it gets fixed, but I have a feeling this patch and maybe a tuner set will be it.

Are you trolling or just special? Why wouldn't you want them to fix the issues they already have in a game you are going to have to play until next July? And if you are fine with how it is, that's cool. But I believe that the majority of people here feel that the issues are serious enough to warrant fixing now instead of hoping they get fixed for next year while we get a feature we had in the last generation (like medical redshirts), gets reprogrammed and flaunted as a "new feature". Why would you put yourself through that again after the multiple car wreck we've been subjected to this year? Battered wife's syndrome?

I don't know about other people, but if there isn't at least a fourth patch (or some tuner sets that fix the other unfixed issues), then I will not be buying 13. 12 is already on thin ice as it is. If it wasn't for my OD, I would have traded this in weeks ago.

Safe to say this is the last year I fall for the EA hype of their football games. NCAA and Madden have both been letdowns this year.

I know what you mean, I feel dirty now when I run the option and see the defender just standing there. That's why I've stopped running the option which sucks because that is a major part of college football.
