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.

Also, no offense, but LOL @ some of you guys writing a formal complaint to some site that apparently deals with "disgruntled" consumers.

That will literally do nothing. Are you guys 15 years old?

I agree, i laughed at that too. There are real injustices in this world - I personally beat my wife and kids every night after work - and this does not qualify as one of them.

# 723 ImTellinTim @ 07/22/11 05:33 PM

Yeah, not quite what the BBB was designed for. If you put the game in and it was hockey instead of football, you might have a complaint.

# 724 da ThRONe @ 07/22/11 05:34 PM

The NCAA team has to make tendencies a priority next year.

# 725 cjmstate @ 07/22/11 05:34 PM

Anybody know when the patch is scheduled to be released?

Works, did not think I needed to go that far. Thanks, really appreciate it.

People in this thread have been saying a month or so should be the time we see it. Seems like it makes sense

The default rosters are numbers only. Just load up the game & use those. Remove all other rosters from your HDD/memory device to avoid confusion. If you make edits to your numbered roster just save over top of the default one.

# 729 Wavebird99 @ 07/22/11 05:45 PM

If you guys wanna make sure you have default rosters, check to see if Ohio State has #2 as a QB and see if he's a 96. (its Tyrelle Pryor, who is obviously not in any named rosters or anything)

# 730 Marcus34 @ 07/22/11 05:48 PM

Im not even mad.

That was just the last reminder I'll ever need to never buy another EA Sports game

I hadn't even edited any of them when I noticed the player tendencies were ALREADY wrong. How did I know this? I keep an excel file showing all of my recruits. I noticed it when I got to my WRs. I brought in a 4 star speed WR and he was listed as balanced. So I did a check and ALL of the players in the recruiting class had different tendencies. Again, not sure if this has been discovered, but perhaps the problems are deeper than we expected.

Ya some have mentioned this too, based on that fact it seems like its not even worth playing dynasty mode even with default rosters as you are going to recruit guys you need and then end up not getting what you wanted. :P You need a power back you might actually get a speed back with power attributes that tries to run a speed game all the time and gets nowhere :P

Just be happy it's getting fixed. If this second patch can fix this, fix the graphical hiccups, introduce dynamic conference prestige and fix the deep coverage than this gamewould be insane. Not to mention EA really has no reason to be testing named rosters since they cannot use them in the final product. Or in any promotional videos.

Happy now? See where I got it from?

I remember giving up playing NCAA 11 early on and then I popped it in one day and I got the patches for it that had come out in the 3 months I hadn't played it and it seemed a much better game.

Lesson is really they push the games out to fast and then fix them later, so you should just wait 3 or 4 months to buy them. But the hype machine kicks in and you end up getting it at release, playing a couple weeks, getting annoyed by the bugs again and shelfing it for 3 months again like the year before lol

Depends what's included in the patch

# 735 Herky @ 07/22/11 05:59 PM

I used to think patches were a good thing, but they seem like a crutch to allow people to rush out games. It seems like too many games are coming out all buggy and they wait for the community too tell them what's wrong. QA has really fallen off especially in current gen gaming.

Don't get me wrong, patches are better than no patches, but I think developers have gotten lazy because they can rely on these.

I design websites for politicians and businesses. If I just rushed out a website without testing it properly and let my clients tell me what's wrong with it, I'd be out of a job.

# 736 Brandwin @ 07/22/11 06:05 PM

How do I get the default rosters back, just delete all named rosters that I have saved?

And restart the game.

I think people are forgetting that even if you do use the default rosters, the problem still exists. If you change numbers, equip, or anything else it changes tendencies.

If the programmers' bosses at EA dont mind (or encourage it) and the game sells millions, they are technically succeeding at what their job is. If you made a broken website that made millions, you wouldn't consider it a failure, i promise you.

# 740 BaylorBearBryant @ 07/22/11 06:20 PM

Man, I currently have all this time on my hands to delve into dynasty mode. Now I can't because of this glitch.

I AM SO FRUSTRATED. I can't believe it's going to be a month before this gets fixed.
