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 you figure they're how many patches and updates coming in everyday? I think M$ has said they come into a cue and a patch for a game that sold 1000 copies will have its spot right in front of a EA or Rockstar title...no exceptions, all patch are cued up as they come in and are processed in that order.

Sucks but you gotta know the lowly titles would never get patched if they didn't do it that way.
Man that does suck lol

I finally got called for it last night at a very inopportune time. Lol

Not fixing progression is a bummer, but I'm still psyched.
 
# 484 Wavebird99 @ 08/11/11 07:27 PM
Any idea when this may drop?

Is the ridiculous amount of injury's to starting RB's going to be fixed? Or is this something that will be addressed in a tuner update?

Running backs get hit the most, thus they have more injuries.
One thing bothering me is none of the OL or DL get injured cuz they never get hit.
Kinda annoying

I am keeping my fingers crossed. Hopefully it does actually fix these things, and doesn't break anything else. Hopefully I won't have to redo my sliders that I have finally got the game playing incredibly well.

You probably will when the tuner sets come out. They always change gameplay.

Yeah, last year the tuners did more harm than good. Hopefully they work this year. Good thing is that right now I'm playing on pretty much default Heisman and getting real good results, so hopefully I won't have to tinker too much with the sliders.

See, I'm convinced PI penalties have more to do with psychic DB's now than ever before. Think about it: A psychic DB doesn't have to commit PI because he knows he can always jump in front of the receiver to swat or pick the ball. They never get beat, so why commit a penalty?

That's an interesting take. I'm going to try that out when I get home since having the PI sliders at 100 is no good anyway. BUT even though that this might fix the psychic DB problem, it still doesn't fix the fact that if you want more PI penalties.

So I got the game for PS3 on release date and have played ever since with no major problems.

All of a sudden today I have played like 2-3 games and then all of a sudden it constantly freezes. After it freezes i quit the game and then all I get is a black screen and can't do anything. It has happened like 5 times in a row when I try and restart the game it freezes at different places.

This is becoming ridiculous does anyone know why? I am hoping the patch fixes it, or my game may have all of a sudden become unplayable.

If they are releasing the patch in the next 1 or two weeks, I'm surprised that they have yet to confirm an actual date then...

Until it gets certified by MS and Sony there is no official date.
 
# 495 Vierakun @ 08/13/11 08:54 PM
Then I guess I'll just wait and see. at least they gave us a general release date...can't wait so that I can continue my dynasty.

If there isn't a patch released before the release of Madden, they can kiss a large portion of the fan base good bye. They won't hang around while a new Madden game is out, and no fix to NCAA.
 
# 497 Vierakun @ 08/13/11 09:16 PM
Well, even if i'd rather play madden, I still will continue NCAA, especially since i want to get some good draft classes.
 
# 498 Kefka @ 08/13/11 09:29 PM
Madden is making some huge, huge improvements this upcoming year. I'd like to play both games this year and plan on doing so but... NCAA needs ot keep pace with Madden.

Adding:
-Cut scenes people watch ONCE, twice tops
-A broken coaching carousel
-3d grass for replays only

Simply wont cut it in comparison the efforts that are being made for Madden, as much as I love college ball

And they care...why? They have the money. If they don't release a patch and all the problems stay, they still have a title that has sold 15% more in the first month than last years.

And by THEY I mean the suits with the power. I believe the 'team' wants to fix these issues but you gotta know there isn't any money in it for the company fixed or not.

I do also know next year they WON'T be getting my money up front. I will wait until the first of October before I even look at NCAA 13! And that makes me sad...

I've seen enough holes in this game to drive a ****in convoy through. They need to all be fired. That ******, Ben Haumiller, needs to keep people up to date with SOME kinda news about the patch. he said he'd keep people updated about the progress of the patch release, but all he can spill out of his filthy mouth is lies, lies, lies. These losers could have a bright future in politics. And the whole deal with them lying about having no bugs after completion, and there's so many bugs in this game it could qualify for a biblical plague. GET YOUR DAMN ACT TOGETHER LOSERS!!!
That's really not necessary, and personally attacking the developers will get you nowhere. Criticize their work, but don't attack them.
