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.

I thought Ben said near the end of August? No?

Unless you are playing Dynasty and the recruits are messed up by Season two... Now move along please....

Unnamed rosters do not solve much at all unless you just do play now all the time.

From the first page: "The patch is currently on schedule to release before the end of the month, no exact date, as of yet."

Just hoping before the end of the month.

Today's the 16th, there are 31 days in August, and it takes about a week for patches to pass through the MS/Sony certification before they become available. That would mean we should here something about patch progress within the next 7-8 days to make the "before the end of the month" deadline. Of course all this hopeful, I mean we're talking a team of people who believed that this game was bug free and even said so on that stupid making of show, so I put little stock in what they say.

Actually, it takes 2 weeks to become certified with a patch from MS/Sony.

Precisely when Madden 12 comes out and I can use my shiny coupon to trade in NCAA 12 for $30.
 
# 549 Solidice @ 08/16/11 03:08 PM
It probably all depends on how fast it can go through the certification process(and how back-up MS/Sony may or may not be) and whether or not it has to be resubmitted for any reason. that is why no exact time range can be stated, because they don't even know.

We have a snippet from Ben Haumiller(sp?)... that says nothing of 'real' use.

CURRENTLY ON SCHEDULE (that means at that point in time, it is/was on schedule for a release in August, that does not mean that it will. It could have been pushed back to add more in or something else, no one knows but EA and we know they don't forward information all that well to their consumers)

Now it may drop in August, it may not, we don't know until we are given some more info.
The fact that college football may be kicking off before we can start our dynasties is... ugh. I dunno.

EA is so lucky I love college football the way I do, and for that matter, all of us do. It's like they take advantage of that fact. Or count on it. Whichever is less offensive because I do still love this game.

What are you going to do when the streak of game breaking glitches for sports games continues when something big is discovered in Madden 12?

I'm still hopeful for this week. The patch notes were released on the 2nd which most likely means that the patch itself was approved on EA's end and ready to ship for MS/Sony certification. Let's say it was hypothetically sent on the 5th. The 19th would be exactly two weeks which falls under the window that it usually takes for a patch to be certified.

But yes, hypothetically if it was submitted at or right around the notes release then it would be coming out soon.
I doubt that EA is still working on the patch. I don't think they would have released patch notes detailing specific changes if they hadn't been solved already. There's no need for them to shoot themselves in the foot more than they have already.

I cant believe we have had to wait a month so far to even touch dynasty mode. Im getting sick of playing play now games... This is some b.s
 
# 555 Matty86 @ 08/16/11 04:14 PM
I work full time at a college, and with the year starting up and me going back to work in less then 2 weeks, the majority of my time for gaming for the year is up. Really sucks that the game is still broken still. If the fix isn't out until the end of the month I won't even really be able to sit down and enjoy the game until the holiday and winter breaks.

I said I thought it would get released next Tuesday the 23rd. If not then, I expect it to get released on the 30th.

I hope you're right. If it's not fixed by the 23rd, I'm just trading this POS in for Madden. I'll need the week to run a new dynasty season.

I'm sure EA does not have a problem with this.

Between the game having bugs the arrogant espn tv show and the handling of the patch I'll be interested to see how they approach selling NCAA 13 to us.

So your going to reward EA by buying another one of their products?
