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.

You know what company allows you to edit players several different player tendencies down to the single number??? Yep, 2k.

Not saying that they could make a better college football game, but it would be competition for EA.

I posted that from reading most of the post on this board...And by me renting the game I can wait it out with out that "65 dollars worth of game just laying around til a patch" feeling...and we all know patches have to go through MS or PSN before they become live and that **** take awhile..."RENTING or WAITING" seems to be the best thing to do for these games now days

Sorry your game didnt come out the way you wanted it to...

Maybe It will have that WOW factor to it after the patch your waiting on..I wish you the best of luck with that sir/ma'am

Go to Michigan or a school where you know the players abilities (scrambler, pocket passer, pass rusher, etc). Then choose the option to "AUTO NAME" players. I know it won't be the players actual names, but for me it's better than no names; at least for me. *Check the players and you will see that there abilities don't switch.

I was hoping that you could auto name, then rename without affecting the tendency. Nope, for those wondering.

Also, Gators game froze this morning while trying to enter a RTG game. IT froze while checking for Season Showdown updates and then wouldnt let him exit out of the "message of the day" which was to watch episode 2 of the making of NCAA Football.

Thats disgusting that you are forced to deal with SS while being signed online. And the message of the day is super annoying. Littering your game with advertisements after you PAID for the game. I couldnt understand if the game was free.

Any more news from EA on this roster glitch issue though??

Well the exclusive contract is up, so there is a possibilty. But, not sure of market.
Even though NBA ELite didnt come out it did effect NBA2k. NBA 2k this year will have Physics. No matter how good the competition, you have to be able to compete at all aspects of the game

I've had the game freeze twice, and both times this was the exact reason for it.

Just when I was starting to enjoy Road to Glory I found the game breaking glitch in that mode too.

I was down 17-10 on one last drive to try at tie it up. First down I threw a 5 yard pass, 2nd down they took me out of the game and PUNTED!!!!!!!

My team punted on 2nd down while trying a game tieing drive.

Yep... seen that one. Although in my case we were down my 4 (so a drive to take the lead instead of tie), little over 1:30 to go in the 2nd quarter with 2 timeouts at our opponents 45 and the coach calls a FIRST DOWN PUNT! Luckily I was a HB and on the punting team so I called a timeout. Next play is a pass, then another 1st down punt. Call TO, pass, incomplete and a 2nd down punt from the opponent's 30 yard line with over a minute left on the clock.

That's true but in a console environment where the hw and os config is all the same things like mem leaks and the like would be more consistent.

I also have been in dev starting back in the early 90's.

guys who have been playing RTG from the start have noted the dumb playcalling for the user team on offense.

# 850 stoncold32 @ 07/23/11 02:32 AM

Maybe this has been answered, but did anyone point out that in the player ratings edit screen it still says "Scarmbler" or "Balanced" or whatever the player is at the top, but it's only when you look at the top level of the player info does it appear to be changed.

Which one really matters in determining how that player will play on the field?

# 851 buckeye02 @ 07/23/11 02:44 AM

The roster glitch affects recruiting big time without you having to edit anything.

-If you are recruiting a balanced FB, he comes to your roster as a receiving FB.

-If you recruit a balanced QB, he shows up on your roster as a Scrambler.

Go to the glitch thread, page 34 and this glitch is listed with pictures.

The game is just flip-flopping balanced, with other tendencies. Leaves me thinking that rosters might be salvagable.

Looks like they have addressed this issue with the first patch. Any timetable on when that will be released, im guessing months. Which is sad. Madden may have taken this games place by then. All the other glitches listed are terrible as well.

I pray that the first patch leaves gameplay alone and just fixes errors. The defense is tough on this game, and Im assuming that they will dumb down the defense with a patch like last year. Id hate for that too happen.

# 852 sycodmn @ 07/23/11 02:52 AM

I didn't read the whole thread, so this might have been mentioned, but it would appear that this is the reason for so many undersized 'power' backs. It's a minor thing I've noticed for several years now, but you'd have a back with a low 40 time, who weighs about 166, and looks like he should be a 'speed' back, but he's listed as a 'power' back. This would lend credence to the idea that this has been around awhile, and we just never noticed.

*Gucci Mane voice* Well damn!

Good thing I copped NHL 11 as a back up game to this one just in case a huge bug were to come along.

Every game I have played has been with pastapadre's rosters on AA difficulty and was getting somewhat frustrated with the Super LB's but was still enjoying the game.

I am sorry if this has been asked already, but 93 pages alot to read through and I was just wondering when we can expect a patch?

# 854 redsfan4life @ 07/23/11 04:29 AM

I'm pretty sure it takes two weeks for a patch to get approved, so probably mid August at the earliest.

I read somewhere august 14th but I am not sure how accurate that is, no one really knows...

# 856 bdolan33 @ 07/23/11 05:00 AM

i edited all the qb's in my dynasty. am i stuck with having no scrambling qb's, or will the patch fix it?

# 857 chen_sc @ 07/23/11 05:11 AM

Is there any ea dev team representative here that is reading about all these glitches?

Dont know how you are connected to the internet but i simply unplugged the ethernet cord from the back of my xbox and it solves the problem of being stuck trying to load online content (message of day or season showdown)

if thats the case then thats just about enough for me to trade in my disc. and i imagine all fo the people who worked on the community rosters would feel the same

# 860 bhailey7751 @ 07/23/11 09:15 AM

I'm a simple guy. If they can get this fixed pretty quick and give us some cool DLC I would be happy. Cool DLC to me would be the new 2011 Nike Pro Combat Uni's and Oregon's BCS Uni's. I don't expect people/business to be perfect but I do expect them to fix problems quickly and when provide something a little extra to make up for it.
