NCAA Football 12 News Post


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.

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.

Nothing, the names will remain in your Dynasty.

As will the botched tendencies I suppose.

The true test for EA is whether or not they can design a patch that will fix the tendencies for an already-started dynasty.

Do you work for EA? Do you benefit financially from their success? You sure sound like it. It's a little ridiculous. I said I wasn't going to buy the "broken" game next year when it's launched. Am I asking to much for EA to release a game that doesn't have a major bug every year? No game should be like that. No product that a consumer buys should be like that.

I'd go out of business if my products had quality issues like this. EA's so damn lucky they have the ability to patch. Can you imagine having to recall a yearly product, every year!?

SECElite3 couldn't of said it better.

The blood,sweat and tears of all the dedicated Roster Makers better not have been wasted

EA you better find a way to patch it so that people don't have to start from scratch

I don't think there will b anyway to patch this into existing dynasties
 
# 526 Jm0ney2001 @ 07/21/11 11:34 PM
Wow. First game w/o named rosters and the cpu elects to recive. Me psu vs. cpu mich.
 
# 527 WazzuRC @ 07/21/11 11:44 PM
Does this affect recruits as well or just current existing players?

I think that may be pure coincidence. I used unnamed rosters a ton before buckeye and gator's came out and it was still kick 99% of the time.

Just using one example from the glitch did it occur to anyone that D Robinson for Michigan won't scramble as much this year because he has a new coach ? He will have to change his game much like Chris Leak did at Florida when Urban Meyer came aboard. So not to excuse EA for the glitch, but D Rob will have to be more balanced this year because of the new offense he will be running at Michigan.

That still doesn't explain someone like Andrew Luck playing like DRob now as his tendency is scrambler. If it was one isolated incident that would be something else, but other Qb's have had changes in play.

Has anyone tried to delete the day 1 patch, delete the roster file, then re-download the roster file, and see if this re-occurs?

Robinson scrambles just fine with unnamed rosters. Has nothing to do with his coach.

I think Block-O did and its the same deal.
 
# 535 Jm0ney2001 @ 07/22/11 12:22 AM
Ok. Does.anyone know if coaching contacts r random? When I started as head couch.of the gophers with gaming tail rosters I only got a 1 year deal. Now with the default rosters I got.a 3 year deal. Coincidence?

FWIW, I love the fact that the picture in post 1 has "work in progress" in the screen shot.

That is all.
 
# 538 Jm0ney2001 @ 07/22/11 12:39 AM
How do recruits coming in have the same issue if they haven't been edited?
 
# 539 ODogg @ 07/22/11 12:50 AM
I was playing on the Xbox with the community rosters last night and Robinson scrambled a bunch on me. I'm much more concerned about them fixing this freezing nonsense and fixing the editor and injuries for online dynasty.

Hopefully all of these issues will be fixed in a patch and hopefully it's a patch that is released very soon so we can get our online dynasty started!

God I can only imagine the amount bugs that will be in Madden with all the stuff they were trying to add this year
