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.

It wasn't a threat, just an expression of disappointment. That said, if EA really didn't have a problem with it, there would be no online pass.

I think you're confused about how trade-ins work. When someone buys my trade-in used, EA loses a new NCAA sale. Not everyone buys the game on release day, just loyal fans who deserve a better product.

Conspiracy.

They want us all to trade in NCAA so they can stop working on 12 and focus on 13 so they aren't working on an already sold game.

As much as I'm widely disappointed with the amount of glitches and the wait time (I'd rather have them get it right than put out a bad patch) I've already invested into this game so I'm going to hold out and wait for the patch no matter what. If anything, this now delays (I hope for a lot of folks) my Madden purchase until I hear that it either needs or doesn't need a patch. The college football season is when I really dive into this game so hopefully it's ready for play by then.

In fact, I'm delaying every EA purchase from now on until I get reviews from here that say it's either ready to play or needs a patch as it's seriously hampered by glitches. I'll still support EA, but not opening week or month of a games release.

You can't really make that assumption. You have no idea if, in a world where used games didn't exist, that person would have simply never bought the game. Also, your tone made it sound to me like you would be trading the game in to get Madden out of spite, as if you wouldn't have purchased Madden if you were satisfied with NCAA (maybe that's wrong). If so, you've given EA $120 instead of $60.

Sitting in week 7, season one, waiting for a patch/tuner before advancing.

Getting reaaaaaallllyyyy tired of waiting.

Game has been out over a month and still doesn't function correctly.

I think you should take some of your own advice.

Yes, but they still got $60 from you. Twice.

Plus, now they do that online code crap, so if someone who buys it used wants access to any of the online features, they still have to give EA money.

Funny, everyone talking about having to wait a month, but people do realize that it would have been at least a month and a half by the time the patch is out (game came out july 13th, patch probably won't be out till around the time of madden's release, maybe even later). It could all well be two months by the time the game is [probably] playable

I really cannot wait till next year. God, when ncaa's sales dip faster than carson palmer's fantasy stocks, I will be smiling. Unless they actually make a good product. Then I guess they win, but I win too.

I doubt we see any sales drops. Most people are happy w the game, unless they've expirienced the freezing.

We've lost 2 members and already are on the verge of losing more because you can't get a ****ing game completed. It's not once in a while, this crap is happening 8 out of 10 times right now and it's KILLED what is normally a great experience.

This is absolutely unacceptable and is absolutely INFURIATING. Get this damn thing out...NOW!!! FIX IT.

I"m as big an NCAA fan as anyone and I've poured a ton of time into stadium sounds, etc. But this is..BAR NONE..the most fury inducing year of bugs/glitches, ever. We are now over a month since release...and still have what is potentially a GAMEKILLER bug for many because you can't finish a game without it locking up!


End of rant.
Bravo, sir! This is UNACCEPTABLE. Our OD is dead as of Bowl Week in season three thanks to the Transfer Failed error after every single game. This is completely unacceptable, especially one month past the release date. EA Sports should lose the exclusivity rights based on their poor track record of putting out a quality product annually.

I have never been so infuriated at a video game. Seriously, we've been ripped off.

I think you're mistaken. Most people aren't happy. I don't think sales will plummet next year, but I think a small drop will occur.

Just because users on this forum are generally unhappy, that doesnt mean most people are.

This game got great reviews everywhere, and my more casual sports game friends like it.

You guys have to realize that youre the minority on this one.

I think the game is ok, has its problems (the terrible deep ball coverage is actually really starting to annoy me) but other than that its really not terrible gameplay wise.
 
# 574 Vierakun @ 08/17/11 01:38 AM
A lot of reviews were premature in terms of not fully playing the game. Most of the reviewers clearly did not delve too deeply or they would have noticed the many problems, not to mention the many glitches. But that's okay, it's a sports game, you don't expect them to go deep. But as some people have said, some of those reviews could even have been bought...just bringing that up though, I am not saying that, nor do I know for sure or have any proof.
 
# 575 Assassin @ 08/17/11 02:01 AM
So do we still not know when this patch is coming out? I'm just curious cause I'm waiting for the patch to come out before I start another dynasty.
 
# 576 bailey4mvp @ 08/17/11 02:10 AM
This patch can't come fast enough, i can not even finish a quarter as Clemson against Maryland with out this bitch freezing, very annoying.
 
# 577 The JareBear @ 08/17/11 03:25 AM
Is it just me or is the terrible deep ball coverage not mentioned in the patch notes?

Has EA confirmed that they are aware of this particular issue? It is pretty gamebreaking in some ways.

They say before the end of the month, so within the next two weeks.

Same here. I pre-ordered Madden, but I switched it to another game and I'm holding off on getting it until I see some reviews from people I trust here. I doubt I'm going to get another EA football game on release day for the next few years.

They may be able to fix that with a tuner set *fingers crossed*
