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.

LMAO, or entering Madden 08 territory

Playing Georgia Tech vs Oregon as I type. Switching back and forth between teams. I'm just playing defense. "Fixing" the QBs to make them actual scramblers has made the option on both sides much more effective. Good decisions by GT QB. Actually turning up field for yards as opposed to pitching when he has plenty of room to run. Whole different game.

But the past week has been a waste, plugging in information, editing hometowns, body builds, equipment. All QB's have been edited to an exact science to play to the abilty the show on tv every saturday. But now it's doesn't look to be that way. This needs to be fixed quick.

Yeah we are putting a hold on our roster edits until something is said by EA.

Strength shouldnt factor in breaking tackles or trucking technically. If breaking tackles was determined by strength, then why is there a need for a BTK or TRK rating???

EA has more detailed ratings than they can handle.

Remember the big release day feature. Adjusting ratings in dynasty, did this cause the screw up???

Someone should delete their game data and not download the patch, try it then. Doubt it changes anything, just curious. It sucks that editing future recruits will cause this problem as well.

# 164 dochalladay32 @ 07/21/11 02:41 AM

I'll do Oregon vs. Army and something like Nebraska and Georgia Tech this afternoon. One with names and one without. Spread vs. option. I hope to be amazed at the difference... and then sadly disappointed.

# 165 BaylorBearBryant @ 07/21/11 02:42 AM

Well for what it's worth, I tried to communicate this to EA on Twitter. I wasn't distasteful about it. I just tried to being this thread to their attention.

It's a Pandora's Box.

More like a converge to the mean box from what Got posted

Honestly, I would name the rosters all over again if EA could fix/patch this without damaging something else gameplay-wise. Thats a bigger fear for me at the moment that salvaging rosters.

Anyone try without the patch loaded? If not, I will now.

Go for it! (still Gator?)

I don't think anyone has tried it pre-patch.

Doing it now.

# 172 dochalladay32 @ 07/21/11 03:03 AM

What happened to the dude that said he was going to create Denard Robinson to see if it is actually calculating as a scrambler like the edit menu says?

I think I need to go to bed, else I would have left the room and gone and done several of these tests for you guys. I have a meeting at 11 and I haven't woken up before 11 in a week. My beautiful sleep schedule is going to be killed

Before you go. Clarify this. I'll go do it now and post results.

Create him as he is on the default or create him like gator/buck's version?

# 174 JohnDoe8865 @ 07/21/11 03:06 AM

So, final stats for QB Thomas w/ 80 STR - 9/14, 162 yds, 1 TD - 14 CAR, 61 YDS, 40 after 1st hit, 2 fumbles, 7 times sacked!! He def. held onto the ball way too long in the 2nd half. He might have had 1 true scramble after halftime, the rest were sacks.

It doesn't appear, atleast in Thomas's case, that changed his STR rating to get his Scrambler tag back, helped him much at all IMO.

And plz, never mention Madden 08, LOL. That game was an abortion in a box.

# 175 dochalladay32 @ 07/21/11 03:07 AM

Try both. Default first. I'm pretty sure it will say scrambler no matter what because even in the edit menu, it calculates him as a scrambler. Everything should hopefully come out scrambler; no balanced. That means there is something flipped between editing a player in some way and his tendency being altered in the roster list.

# 176 BaylorBearBryant @ 07/21/11 03:08 AM

Alright, let me go work on this. BRB.

# 177 wfwilson @ 07/21/11 03:09 AM

To know avail? With either?

I wonder how buck/gator (whoever is controlling buck's name) is coming along with no patch.
