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.

People, if you've bought this game with all the other issues the games have had since 2006, you'll have next years game also.

Enough with the "I'm not going to buy EA games any longer" BS every year.

Wow I kepy asking about recruits but I didn't realise someone had actually tested it with the default rosters. Wow so either way it is going to happen. Wow just Wow Sorry that is all i can think of to say at the moment

sorry if this has been asked, didnt see it.

if you play with the original rosters that are numbered without autonaming with this still happen and if it doesnt will it happened to new recruits.

It does not happen to the existing reosters if you auto name. However, aparently it sill does happen to the recruits.

So now I guess the question becomes if you play dynasty do you want the teams/players to behave realistically now and not have names and then not worry later or do you want to have real names and have it be messed up based on the current teams.

Your welcome. I am not sure what I want to do now.

If you delete all your rosters and restart the game you will have the default rosters.

Could I auto-generate names, play the first season, and then wait until the patch comes out before entering season 2? It would give me something to do.
 
# 933 lsu4life86 @ 07/23/11 09:00 PM
I actually work next to one of their testing facilities and yes they have been working on this and other bugs for almost a week. Let's hope they get a move on it!

ok cool. i had remembered that I deleted a file with a date. I thought that was default for some reason. thanks again.

Looks like a wait for a patch is my future. I guess ill use defaults so i can continue to work with sliders with accurate players traits and hope the next patch doesnt effect sliders too much. Except where needed.

I'm playing a game right now, CPU is Army, and the QB is scrambling against me just fine. On designated QB scrambles, and when he has no one open, he scrambles. I'm still not seeing any of this glitch.

And I'm using the latest July 23rd OS roster updates.

Cool, I was enjoying the game too up until yesterday.

My advice to you is to not come back to this forum until the patch is out.

Enjoy the game! Enjoy the innocence!

Ignorance is bliss....to some degree. I really knew something was up with I played Michigan and Denard scrambled once the entire game.

I should have known better than to get my hopes up and buy this game on release day. I have no doubt the folks at EA will patch this up nicely, but I don't want to wait til mid August for that to happen.
 
# 938 Herky @ 07/23/11 10:35 PM
What I still don't get (and I've mentioned it before) is why this is a problem now? I'm pretty sure they are using the same code as they have in the past for this and what could have messed it up? If they didn't change anything this makes no sense.
 
# 939 Fiddy @ 07/23/11 11:03 PM
Denard vs me offline just now had 16 rushing attempts for 95 yards. i was using the latest OS Community update.

Was he taking off on his own or where they designed runs. Which sliders where you using?
