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.

Isn't the freezing a console specific problem? Since release, all games at all times have had freezing problems on my Xbox.

Meanwhile, not one game ever has frozen on my PS3. Maybe its just me and my crappy luck.

# 42 Gotmadskillzson @ 07/20/11 10:01 PM

Yeah it does seem to be effecting the 360 users more then the PS3 users.

Wrapping up game and im thoroughly disgusted.

# 44 northface28 @ 07/20/11 10:08 PM

With names, 5 for 17, 3 of the attempts were sacks. Im putting this in bugs/glitches thread. He wasnt the same at all.

# 45 dochalladay32 @ 07/20/11 10:12 PM

I think more needs to be done before we call it a bug/glitch. I'm watching something, but if someone else wants to or I will in about 20 minutes, sim a dynasty with names. See if it's more than just in game.

# 46 BaylorBearBryant @ 07/20/11 10:19 PM

Well this sucks...

I'll do some testing as soon as gf is done watching Income Property.

# 47 Headtrip325 @ 07/20/11 10:21 PM

i just went through every position and their tendancies on named rosters if it is a bug which i'm sure it is after looking at all of that it only affects 2 tendencies on every position. ex. QB's scramblers are listed as balanced and balanced are listed as scramblers but pocket passers are uneffected same goes for RB's, speed listed as balanced vice versa, power backs uneffected and so on throughout every position. just figured i'd throw that out there because i didn't see that anybody looked through all positions.

EDIT: i just loaded default rosters with no names and changed Taylor Martinez's speed rating from an 82 to an 83 just to test something and sure enough it changed him from a Scrambler to Balanced. As another test i just went into edit Denard Robinson and all i changed was his Helmet type and it changed him from Scrambler to Balanced so it has to do with any edit to the roster, so very much a bug.

Good looking out, so it is indeed a bug.

How do you load unedited rosters? Or reset to default?

I just loaded my old saved nameless rosters when I first started playing.

Denard Robinson ran for 578 yards on 141 carries. Threw for 2797 yards. Was sacked 22 times. They went 9-3. So... take that for what it's worth. I didn't see any QB's near the leaders in rushing and I scrolled through a good 30 or so. Saw a FB before I saw a QB. Now to get my Pac 12 championship trophy. Didn't anticipate when I picked Arizona I would make the conference title game haha.

Well on the 360, when you go to the load file screen, you will see a roster file on there name July 12 with some numbers after it. That is the default roster file.

# 53 BaylorBearBryant @ 07/20/11 11:18 PM

Damn, I deleted that.

Well I played a game with a "balanced" Denard.

2 rushes for 0 yards through halftime. 10 passing attempts.

# 54 JayD @ 07/20/11 11:22 PM

This game very well could be the Bug fest of Bug fest's!!!!!

# 55 BaylorBearBryant @ 07/20/11 11:25 PM

And after reading this thread, I realized when I played a game against Stanford, Andrew Luck was tearing me up on the ground.

Now I go look in the rosters and he's listed as a "scrambler." It's all becoming clear. This really does suck.

lol at Luck listed as a scrambler.

# 57 LionsFanNJ @ 07/20/11 11:31 PM

has anyone tried changing his position to say HB, save it without altering ratings, and change him back to QB to see if that makes them back to their right designation? i'm away from my PS3 right now so i can't try it.

# 58 JayD @ 07/20/11 11:35 PM

This thread needs a sticky, this is a pretty big glitch.

Yep, because on EA's roster file, he is balanced. Name him and the script got flipped. He turns into Tim Tebow.

# 60 dochalladay32 @ 07/20/11 11:38 PM

Jay Ray... aka QB #16, ran for 886 yards on 140 carries. Sacked only 13 times this time. Threw for 2265 yards on 311 attempts. Number of carries is almost identical when simming. Jay Ray is described as a scrambler in the dynasty. Michigan was only 7-5 this time.

Army's QB broke 1000 yards using the unnamed random naming roster where people don't lose their status; so did Georgia Tech's QB. I didn't see that with named rosters.
