NCAA Football 12 Roster Glitch Confirmed, Patch to Address Concerns

04:00 PM - July 20, 2011 by skins5680

Christian McLeod has confirmed the NCAA Football 12 roster glitch will be addressed in an upcoming patch. The fix for now? Are you ready for this? Delete your named roster file.

What are the problems you ask? Here are just a few comments from the OS community.

One of the NCAA Football 12 Software Engineer's posted this topic (roster related), in hopes to get some things resolved.

	When you edit the name of a scrambling QB it changes them to balanced and editing a balanced QB changes them to scrambling. I noticed when i downloaded a roster with names that Denard Robinson was shown as a balanced QB so i went back to the default roster and he was back to a scrambler. So i played a game with the named roster and he attempted zero scrambles. I then played a game with the default roster and he scrambled five times in the first two drives.

	I seen this last week when I downloaded Fairdale Kings rosters for the 360. It just isn't the QBs tendancy that changes, it is also the pass rusher, coverage guys, hard hitters. Everybody tendancy description changes...... I noticed it also effected the Kick off and punt returns for the CPU. And effected the punt blocking the user. With no names, I was able to return punts back for a TD sometimes with a good enough returner. With names, the gunners get down the field super fast like they did in NCAA 11. With out names, the CPU was able to return punts and kick offs back for TDs on me. With names, their blocking is non existent and the cpu have a hard time making it to the 30 yard line on kick offs and on Punt returns they get 3 yards now, my gunners get down the field so fast now I be right on top of them as soon as they catch the ball. So as it stands, no names seem to give the better game play. Being that other players tendancies have changed, I noticed some things. 1. LBs get a lot of tips and INTs on named rosters, even when they aren't in position to do so. 2. Safeties who suppose to be heavy hitters, turn into coverage guys and Intercept passes they normally wouldn't. 3. WRs get off the line quicker on named rosters and they hit stick tackle people on Ints. I had intercepted a pass and a WR hit sticked me. 4. Thomas with his new found strength is now more likely to keep the ball on read option plays. More like 90% of the time now. This was the same way in NCAA 11 when you made a QB's strength too high. 5. DEs don't generate a pass rush on named rosters like they do on non named rosters. Now I am REALLY glad I didn't delete the default roster. I will have that to play until they fixed the name rosters issue. Way too many players to edit get them back to what they suppose to be tendancy wise. Which is another thing, with the work around even though they back to their correct tendancy, their ratings will be out of whack. Good players will be made weaker, weaker bad players will be made stronger.

	Same issue with no patch. Also messed around, it changes the tendency for every single player. Im thinking that the rosters will have to be named again if this is patched. How can they patch it to go in reverse and correct tendencies on already named rosters? Looks like a more realistic patch is a fix to keep it from changing for future named rosters.

	Just received confirmation that this issue is being looked into heavily by the guys at EA. Be patient--there is a sizable amount of testing with different design divisions to identify the issue and look into a possible fix. It would be helpful if you can please put together a chart showing the following for all positions affected by this issue. I would then like to provide this information to EA. This would also help with making community edits if necessary. Thanks. Position: Default Tendency: New Tendency: Result:

	Well, so far... Position: Quarterback Default Tendency: Scrambler New Tendency: Balanced Result: Default scrambling quarterbacks hardly scramble at all. Position: Quarterback Default Tendency: Balanced New Tendency: Scrambler Result: Default balanced quarterbacks scramble all the time. Position: Running back Default Tendency: Speed New Tendency: Balanced Result: Default speed backs act as balanced backs. They'll attempt power moves too often. Position: Running back Default Tendency: Balanced New Tendency: Speed Result: Default balanced backs act as speed backs. They'll never attempt power moves.

In my opinion, EA has to get cracking on this issue FAST. I don't care what kind of possible bug there could be in the game, this has to be the worst issue there could possibly be. It completely ruins the entire game because it affects the realism of the game. I don't care if you play online against someone else or not, that person can only control one person, all the other players aren't going to play as they are supposed to. It's unfortunate such a small error can have such a huge affect on the game. I may be a little bit biased here but I'm a big simulation/dynasty guy so this hurts me a lot. I was wondering why I was getting so many sacks and why slow QB's would try to take off and scramble all the time. I guess there's really nothing we can do except for sit and wait.............

Do you think that the timing of the release of the patch will have to do anything with the timing of the release of Madden?

That's the best news I've heard today. Thanks Christian.

No, it doesn't matter if a USER is controlling the player. It's when you play the CPU.

I don't think it effects you if you are playing AS Denard, it is when you are playing against him that you will notice a big difference.

You heard this? Very nice. I'm motivated to go toy with my sliders some more with no names then. After Saturday, I might start working a lot more on my historical setups. Right now the teams have generic rosters... not so much fun. If I can't have real names, might as well do some work on teams that haven't played in years.

# 466 PS3guy @ 07/21/11 06:38 PM

ok ive come to the realization that this will be fixed.... but i still wanna play until the next patch...and i still wanna have named rosters yet i still wanna see the cpu scramble...So i guess my question to u guys is if i start my dynasty and get far along, will the recruits stay true to their tendency in the game hence, in time, creating "new" scrambling QBs?????

In the meantime, I'm going to auto-name the rosters and play RTG. I'm holding off on dynasty. If you edit any player, his tendency will switch. If you just want auto-names and don't edit you'll be ok. If you want real names, there's no way around it.

# 468 RubiksDude @ 07/21/11 06:42 PM

Quick question. I've noticed these same issues. How do I force different rosters to take effect. Currently, if I go to Play Now, I get the "default roster" although I have made changes to it. I can try and load one of the community rosters, but it doesn't work for play it now. What I want is the default original roster, and I can't find it, load it, or anything.

# 469 makaveli_Reborn @ 07/21/11 06:42 PM

lol @ a month. These guys never cease to amaze me.

If you don't touch them at all, they may be fine... only one way to find out. Get to it!

Delete all your rosters or save them to a flash drive. Then turn off your game and turn it back on. Voila! You'll have the default rosters.

Yeah they should, but you probably can't edit them in dynasty, which totally ruins the feature they added on the first day patch.

After a quick glance at named roster file, I noticed Nick Foles is a scrambler changed from a balanced qb under the default rosters. What really sucks about this huge bug is EA finally had a legitimate scrambling logic system, albeit enjoyed by me for a few days, until I downloaded a named roster set. Although, qbs still scramble more than they did in NCAA 11, Denard Robinson and other scramblers have been pacified and their playmaking ability has been greatly diminished.

Oh, is that so? I think the only two I deem dealbreakers are this one and the deep ball. I havent even gotten into the countless other bugs.

With that said, I dont take your comprehension skills, or lack there of, seriously. Because had you read correctly, youd know I dont "seem to deem every glitch a gamebreaker".

What else can he say? Hes a "EA yes man".

The only roster it ever shows for me is the community one I downloaded. But that's not the one it's using during Play Now. I cannot find the default roster listed anywhere.

If this issue wasn't fixable, (and I know Christian said it was, so this is rather trivial) I too would consider it a game breaker.

Thank God they're working on it.

# 477 RubiksDude @ 07/21/11 06:54 PM

Got it fixed. After deleting the community roster it finally showed the default and let me delete it. Stupid, but at least I can get the not messed up rosters back.

# 478 bpac55 @ 07/21/11 06:54 PM

OK so I saw someone else say this but you can fix this by adjusting the STRENGTH HIGHER, and TRUCKING LOWER. Each point counts towards one another. In other words if I lower the trucking by 2 then i can counter that by raising the strength by 2. There isn't a set rating number that has to be set you just have to play with it by each player. You will see the scrambler turn to balanced and once that is done the player will be a scrambler. HAHA it sounds so backwards but it works.

It is complete BS that we have to do this but until it is patched that is the easy solution.

Delete all your rosters in the FILE MANAGEMENT menu. Once you do that, turn off your game. Turn the game back on and save your roster as DEFAULT. You'll then have the default roster.

Yep it's a pain but I'm going to do it.
