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.

August 14th huh? So I have to wait 3 weeks to possibly start my dynasty, depending on what the patch damages or breaks. Oh well.

I was hoping they could fix it with a tuner without having to wait several weeks for dynasty to be playable. Yeah, yeah, delete your rosters and play with unamed.....NO.

Have they said whether or not the patch will allow for rosters to be salvaged??? If rosters can be saved I guess we will spend the 3 weeks making edits. They better not make us wait for an answer to that atleast! If they havent answered it already.

Seems like no official word yet. I know you guys care about the rosters, and you do good work Buckeye, but I'm hoping they nail down the freezing issues in game and in menus. I've been trying to get an Online Dynasty going with friends who freeze up either recruiting in their offline dynasties, or playing a general play now game.

Jesus same old sh!t, different year. I swear each year the game becomes unplayable late july-august due to some bogus bug/issue. One year it's the rosters messing up w/ symbols in them, one year it's player progression is broken and now this crap? When does Madden drop?

I really don't want to have to start a new dynasty and if this patch kills my rosters, I am going to have to keep ignorning every time I start a game. So lame EA. I honestly think next year will be the first time I don't look forward to this game? I wasn't even that excited this year, and it's getting less and less each year.

August 14th???

Nope, silence. That's all I really want an answer to right now. I want to keep editing like I was doing this past week, but I'll be damned if I'm going to keep going not knowing if all the equipment, hometowns, and other edits I have made are only going to have to be redone.

So frustrated, I can't imagine how the actual roster makers feel right now.

When I hear words like undeterministic and poorly written when referencing code, that either spells incompetence, laziness, or just lack caring for either their customers or self-respect. My plan was to purchase 2 football titles this year but now it looks like I will only be buying one. When is this company going to realize that customer satisfaction is what drives business? They are in business because of the customer. EA's track record over the last several years is horrible. The games get more "buggy" with each release and their patches only seem to worsen the problems. These games continue to sell, but I imagine, unless something changes quickly, they will see that eliminating competition won't be enough. People eventually get fed-up. They saw the sales drop with Madden and will probably see the same with this series. With that being said, if the person in charge of PR were working for me, they would be on the streets looking for employment. Signed - your loyal, very dissatisfied customer

With all the work that went on, I'd imagine a date with a bottle of good beer and a wood chipper.

What if you auto named your roster to start a dynasty will the players still be messed up? Dont wanna search 94 pages, lol.

As far as I've gleamed from the thread, you should be fine. The change on occurs when you directly edit the player. If you let the game rename everyone to "Bob Johnson" or "BigMcLarge Huge", you should be fine.

It wasn't an obvious problem. It took time of going through the dynasty to find the problem. Then, once the problem was discovered, it made sense of so many other issues that had been prevalent.

Maybe because they weren't playing with named rosters, since those weren't finished until after release?

# 871 hyacinth1 @ 07/23/11 11:21 AM

this is unacceptable. I am going to return my game. Why put the game out when it's obviously not even ready until Aug 14. I should have just waited, at least by then they'll have some sales on it and I can get the game for what it's actually worth, not $60.

I'll hold off on my Madden release day purchase as well.

I think this is grasping for straws here, while I think there is major politcing here, I do think guys who got the game early were honest and forthcoming.

This is a huge bug, yet hard to spot. This falls at EA's lap not the guys who got the game early.

as far as the rosters you wouldn't know about the glitch until rosters came out...

Current players will be fine, I do believe if you edit them in ANY way then they will screw up. More importantly though and IMO more frustrating, the players that you recruit will change tenancies no matter what. A power back will become a speed back, a balanced QB becomes a scramble QB and it goes on and on for every position. Any way you shake it the roster glitch has you by the throat and is taking a large dump on your face!

Actually power backs will not be affected. These are what are flip flopped.

QB
Balanced/Scramble

HB
Balanced/Speed

FB
Balanced/Receiving

WR
Balanced/Speed

TE
Balanced/Receiving

OL
Balanced/Pass Block

DL
Balanced/Run Stopper

LB
Balanced/Run Stopper

CB/S
Balanced/Hard Hitter

K/P
Balanced/Accurate

Cool, thanks for the clear up.

# 877 Burner_22 @ 07/23/11 11:58 AM

Man come on this stuff is unacceptable. Every year its something. Weve turned into BETA testers. PLEASE OH PLEASE get EA some competition.

I shouldnt have to cancel playing college football because ONE company cant get it right. There should be 2-3 other options. Enough already.

# 878 Dianwei32 @ 07/23/11 12:11 PM

Sorry if this has been asked but I read through about 10 pages and didn't see it... and I really don't feel like reading through another 86 pages just to make sure.

Has EA given any sort of estimate or idea on when this patch to fix the roster glitch will be coming out?

If we can't get one game right. Who is to say 3 wouldn't have the same issue

Your logic is mind boggling.

Try reading my post SLOWLY.

I'll paraphrase. If these rosters are glitched, and they are. Its a game killer until fixed and even then you think all the roster guys will spend more time doing all of this?

My point was why should I have to can my NCAA gaming experience because they cant get it right. If there were other options I could still PLAY a game I love. Thats not to say they would be bug free. But I would have a CHOICE Get it.

# 880 chen_sc @ 07/23/11 12:15 PM

this is what going on right now...some of the dev team members are now on vacation in Hawaii, the Caribbeans or Mexico, which they paid with our money while we are stuck with an half made product they have developed...
