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.

do all the bugs appear on year 1 also?
The roster bugs are still there in season one unless you used the default rosters and played with just numbers or autonames.

If you used a named roster download from someone then the bugs are still there in season 1 but they will correct themselves if you DO NOT advance to season 2 as they stated in the notes.

There are still some bugs in the other parts of Dynasty they didn't fix in this patch. Like if you are a DC or OC instead of HC you will get the TV Exposure bug still.

Also on another note they fixed issues with HB and CB, but the MLB is what I have been playing in RTG recently and it has the same bug as the CB, can't call audibles even with max coach trust. I put that in the bugs thread within the 10 days after release too.

Get rid of the mascot game and RTG. Work exclusively on dynasty!! EA has yet let me down again. What game should I buy after I trade this sorry game in? Maybe, something by 2k sports.

This can't come soon enough. If my Xbox freezes again mid-game, I'm going to pull my hair out.
 
# 444 Jm0ney2001 @ 08/08/11 11:35 PM
I know. Just praying for aug 16. But I doubt it. Although I have had no freezing issues.
 
# 445 ClarkNoHeart @ 08/09/11 02:51 AM
Just froze again in middle of an awesome game. I guess I'll wait for the patch. I'm absolutely livid. The game is completely broken and it hasn't been fixed nearly a month after it's been available to the public. Completely outrageous.
 
# 446 Wavebird99 @ 08/09/11 03:46 AM
Really sucks to see people with freezing issues, this game hasnt froze on me once yet.

Lucky. Are you using named rosters, and have you downloaded the first patch?

I haven't had the game freeze on me once either.
I'm using named rosters and have downloaded the 1st patch.
 
# 449 Jm0ney2001 @ 08/09/11 10:47 AM
Wish they could tell us when they submitted the patch to microsoft, sony so we clips have an idea of when we can play again.

Neither have I. What game mode do the freezes usually happen?

The game has frozen in sim mode on me a few times. Very frustrating.

I have more than got my money's worth with this game already, as I'm on holiday and put in my hours - but I'm really looking forward to this patch. I'm pretty frustrated. What is really infuriating me right now is that they keep breaking things they've fixed (passing was great last year, progression was much improved), and then they port in last year's game into this year's version and forget the stuff they've fixed with patches and tuners (e.g. uniform degradation for the team in white, DE's making moves to get pressure, I remember my players jumping in last year's game).

And then there are the glitches that have been there since the game moved to next gen and have just been completely ignored. And it sounds silly to even say it, but the arm build slider being broken STILL after five or so years is really, really getting to me. I can't stand looking at some of the players on my team. You cannot make a beefy HB, SS's ALWAYS have stick arms and there's nothing you can do about it (but I have complete control of his butt size and how thick his feet are), half of my LBers have stick arms, my TE's, my 5* QB is in danger of getting cut b/c he looks so silly and there's nothing I can do about it. I can get to a workaround for gameplay by changing my settings multiple times a game, but there's nothing I can do about the appearance of some of the players. I'm really hoping the patch giving us the ability to edit size gives me a workaround b/c there does seem to be some random 'sweet spots' where you can get a decent look.

I know it is crazy. But the thin arms are what made me turn it off last night and are the reason I'm not playing right now. My #2 recruited class in year 4 of my dynasty looks ridiculous. I went into practice last night and ugh. I cannot play a season looking at these guys.

Come on EA. Please. I'll always buy the game. I've always bought the game. Fix this for me. Pretty please.

Just a guess but I bet it hasn't been submitted yet and it takes about 2 weeks to get it approved. I think the end of the month is a realistic timeframe on when it will be out.

I'm just betting it's then so I don't wonder each week when it's out. End of Aug or early Sept is my guess.

i would have thought that when they finally came out and announced the patch was coming, that it had been submitted at that time.

then i thought is was like a 3 week turn around.

Same here, it's froze on me once in the entire time I've been playing it. (Since launch)

Fairdale Kings rosters and first patch downloaded.

3 yrs and counting with the skinny arm glitch and I know what you mean because it is a pet peeve of mine as well.. I have noted it in bugs and glitches thread going on a 3 yr stretch now lets hope t gets quietly handled..I truly think it's a trchnical issue..that has to be recoded..

I've seen them announce like this with a list of fixes they have already done but are still doing more then they end up releasing a bigger list of fixes once its actually submitted. If they said the end of the month and with the 2 week approval process they keep telling us about then its probably getting submitted this week.

I think all of the freezes have occurred in my (offline) dynasty, multiple times during gameplay and once in the menu.

Are any of you guys playing dynasty mode?

They just need to have it like they did in the last gen. Body sizes were tied to two things back then. Weight and what you set their body-sliders to. Just another thing they did right 6 years ago (and before) and haven't gotten right since.
Yes. I hate that build is tied to position. This version I've been playing with the switch position option to get better builds. I don't go crazy if the cpu guys have skinny arms, but if I have to look at glitchy player models for 40 games with a new recruit I have to do something. It is so frustrating - there are chunky RB's, fat QB's... if the build sliders worked we could make them.

I'm glad some others feel like this needs to be fixed. Hopefully it gets on the 'to do' list one day. I can't believe they put wrinkles on elbows and leg hair on before they fixed the arm build slider.
