NCAA Football 12 News Post


EA Sports has just posted the NCAA Football 12 title update #2 details. The patch is currently on schedule to release before the end of the month, no exact date, as of yet.

Before getting to the details of the update, I want to take a moment to thank you, the NCAA Football community, for all of your patience and assistance during the past couple of weeks. A great many of you share the same passion for this game as we do, and you did everything possible to help identify issues, and provide the necessary details - not just to help make a game better, but to make your game better. If you are reading this, you are a member of the most dedicated community in gaming, and for that we are truly grateful. Now, on to the details:

Week Advance Anywhere
  • As a token of our appreciation, we’re happy to announce that as of today “Week Advance Anywhere” on the web is now available for use, and that this feature will be FREE for everyone to use.
Custom Playbooks
  • With this Title Update the missing play issue that led to a number of problems when using Custom Playbooks has been fixed. Not only is the issue fixed, but you will not need to recreate your playbooks! Any existing playbook will have the fix applied, and you will be able to continue using that playbook without issue.
Tendencies
  • As with the Custom Playbooks resolution, the fix to the issue of edited player tendencies changing will not negate any previously edited roster file. The fix will be applied to both those existing files, as well as any new roster file that is created.
  • If you are in a Dynasty or Online Dynasty you will not need to restart as long as your Dynasty is still in year one and you have not advanced past “Training Results” in the off-season. If you are before this point, the update will be applied to your existing Dynasty/Online Dynasty and the tendencies will be correct for all players going forward. If you are in year two and beyond, the tendency issue impact will be less and less as the players graduate/are cut from the rosters.
  • In addition to the tendencies issue, we have also included both the ability to edit height and weight for players, as well as the option to edit the rosters of CPU controlled teams. In an Online Dynasty the commissioner will have the ability to edit the rosters for other human controlled teams. These were both big requests from you in the community.
  • Finally, a bug was fixed with the profanity filter that was preventing many common names from being entered. Now, any name can be entered, for offline use. A profanity filter is applied to Online Dynasty when the Dynasty is created. If you prefer to opt out of this filter, you can set the Dynasty to Private and the profanity check will not run.
Freezes/Crashes
  • A major focus for this Title Update was to address any freezes/crashes that were found. There were a number of these issues fixed in this Title Update including a crash that occurred when there were multiple TeamBuilder teams in an Online Dynasty, as well as a crash that occurred during the downloading of an Online Dynasty file.
Gameplay
  • Increased the acceleration of QB’s on Speed Option plays.
  • Improved WR blocking, especially on option plays
  • Fixed an issue where defenders assigned to play the curl to flat/buzz zone did not engage immediately when the QB scrambles past the LOS.
  • Fixed an issue where safeties with inside deep ¼ zone would drop back instead of read-and-react on run plays.
  • Fixed an issue in Nickel Cover 3 where the flat zone defender didn’t move as the QB was running at them.
  • Fixed an issue with Double Outs from 4-2-5 Normal where the RLB wasn’t blocked properly vs. certain formations.
Highlights
  • Fixed an issue that caused a blank photo to be uploaded leading to issues with other highlights being uploaded.
Dynasty
  • Fixed an issue in Online Dynasty where injured players did not remain injured when the week advanced.
  • Fixed an issue where a player’s injury time was only reduced by one week when going from Conference Championship week to Bowl Season. Players will now be back for their Bowl game if they should be off of the IR when their bowl game is played.
  • Fixed an issue where coaches that changed jobs could get stuck in a state where they were still listed as coaching at their old school on the Players Leaving screen, leading to a Transfer Failed issue.
  • Fixed an issue that occasionally prevented Dynasties from advancing to the post season.
  • Fixed an issue with the schedule that prevented entering the Virginia Tech vs. Boston College game (fixed for both Dynasty and RTG).
  • Fixed an issue where recruiting related trophies/achievements were not unlocked properly if you signed an extension in that season.
  • Fixed an issue with Program Stability where the grade would drop from A+ to D+ in one season.
  • Fixed an issue with the Unlock All Promises PDLC not unlocking properly on the Dynasty website.
  • When viewing an Online Dynasty invite, added information to show what type of job can be selected by default.
  • Fixed an issue when in the off-season where player stats did not match up between the web and console.
RTG
  • Fixed an issue where CB’s could not audible after earning the ability to do so through Coach Trust.
  • Fixed an issue where HB’s could not flip the play after earning the ability to do so through Coach Trust.
Online
  • Fixed an issue where player’s online stats were not displaying promptly on the Online Leaderboards.

So am I I'm only sixteen play football for my high school and play xbox 2-3 hours a day but whatever just trying to help

Third year in a row I had to wait almost two months before the game was playable with patches. Last year I didn't even finish the first year of the dynasty.....this was my last NCAA purchase, it's the same garbage every year with these guys.

Gotta admit, I am in the camp that hates the new defenses. I am tired of the defense blanketing every receiver, and batting passes down when I have an open receiver. EA, if the "D" gonna be that fast, give the QB some more arm strength.

Also, enough already with the fumbles when the opponent puts "Strip Ball" on Aggressive. Just because he wants me to fumble REEEEALLLY bad doesn't mean I should put it on the ground 3 times a game. Nothing more unfair about gameplay than this.

The patch will need to be better than the improvement from last year's game to this year's...such a step backwards. Thanks for the extremely large drums when the team walks out though. Really disappointed.

Can you imagine what these forums would be like with a 2 year dev cycle? LOL. These are the guys who can't even wait an extra day or two to get the rosters, let alone an entire other year to get the game!

Just wait a couple of months next year until you get NCAA 13.

NCAA 12 looks vastly better than NCAA 11 in my opinion, not even a comparison. I will admit though I'm a bit disappointed in the grass in general. Looks great in replays but pretty poor in the actual game.

I think the three d grass looks great

In reading his posts why do you bother to respond to him? His motivation is quite transparent.

How does 11 look even remotely better than 12?

It's called trolling. Ignore his posts.

I honestly can't comprehend what ever you said..
 
# 414 knighthawksfan @ 08/06/11 11:42 AM
There are still issues in the game that need fixing but it is whatever. I am happy with the update though
 
# 415 smoove7 @ 08/06/11 12:11 PM
Honestly who gives a you know what about some grass or a helmet color. On the field is where it counts. If you have to compromise, I would rather have a game that the graphics or dreads are not the main thing, rather ON THE FIELD which is the reason we buy a football game right?
 
# 416 floppdiddy @ 08/06/11 12:57 PM
hey would like to know if there going to add the jersey back onto the game that was on there last year and also the new jersey too (Georgia Nike Pro Combat Jersey)
 
# 417 DNMHIII @ 08/06/11 01:46 PM
Not sure if this was mentioned yet, but it would be nice to edit all of player info/attributes because it would allow users to do medical redshirts and also create real life recruits to rosters.

Please EA........Just unlock everything in dynasty and continue helping us create the game that we want to play.
 
# 418 scottyo60 @ 08/06/11 03:59 PM
They won't add jerseys. What you see is what you get
 
# 419 LionsFanNJ @ 08/06/11 07:05 PM
Meh. Can't wait for the patch
 
# 420 K0ZZ @ 08/06/11 09:20 PM




The guys leg looks fake in the 11 picture.

Would be nice if they would patch in boundaries so people aren't disappearing in walls after scores and plays.
