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.

Yes, it is annoying when you see a slow white QB take off on scrambles.

I don't think we'll know that answer for awhile tbh

Is it any better when it's a slow black QB?

No word yet but my estimation would be earliest mid-August, latest September. I have a feeling it'll drop right when Madden does.

I noticed my two QBs that I recruited as "scramblers" during the first season switched to "balanced" after their first training results are in. I never changed anything on them so it seems the program is constantly (or at times) reassessing the tendency of players based on their abilities (which in itself isnt bad)...

Yeah, agreed. Also, if they released it later that would only make the Dev cycle longer for one year...

You must disable auto save. I ran into the same issue. ANother item on the bug list.


Delete your named roster and re-download it and make sure auto save is turned off in your system settings.

THis is what the roster bug is all about and is being addressed in the upcoming patch.

Meantime enjoy the game. I know I am.

I dont plan on playing again until the patch is released, which I hope comes out soon by the way. I dont get how something like this can happen. This year was the first time I bought NCAA on release day. Usually I wait for 2-3 weeks. Never again will I buy it on release day.
You're just mad because it was sparty lol

I know EXACTLY how you feel. EASports and their QA testing = FAIL.

Yeah, blame the bug on that one when the real life roster isn't all that.

Late to the party as well, I read several pages but never saw this answered....does the roster bug exist BEFORE the 1st Day Patch is applied? Such as using a named roster set, but w/o the Release Day patch. Haven't seen anyone test this out yet, probably a pipe dream but you never know!

This was tested last week and it still exists, pre patch!!!

Has anyone confirmed what is making the game freeze? I have noticed alot of roster talk about tendancies being changed but little about the freezing issue. The reason I ask is because I returned my game to gamestop for a new copy and also erased all rosters from my game to try to avoid the freezing issue. Also, would anybody know if the freezing issue has anything to do with custom playbooks?
 
# 1020 LionsFanNJ @ 07/25/11 03:41 PM
Dobzimus prime is still narrowing down ther freeze issue. Its one of the sticky threads in this forum. I think part of it is rosters and part of it is something else corrupting.
