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 in the interview the guy asked if his guess of August 28th would be the patch date to drop and the ben said he would love if that would happen but he cant confirm anything. So it sounds like the patch wont come out this week or even next week. Maybe the last day of august I would hope.
 
# 626 The JareBear @ 08/18/11 08:20 PM
All he said in the interview was:

Lots of EA guys are working on NCAA 13 already

They don't have a patch date yet

Things that weren't announced in the patch blog were added into the patch and will announced soon

and

Some guys let little things ruin their experience, to each their own


lol

Little things like not letting the commish of the dynasty sign into his own dynasty? Wowwwwwww

Can't believe that he would actually say that about fans and customers of the game. Just seems like a huge slap in the face.
 
# 628 racerx @ 08/18/11 08:32 PM
Can't they even confirm if the patch has been sent to Sony or Microsoft for approval?
 
# 629 The JareBear @ 08/18/11 08:34 PM
He didnt confirm or deny that, he just said part of the problem is working with Sony and MS on this stuff, not sure what that means...
 
# 630 HARTSTOPPER @ 08/18/11 08:41 PM
Well Ben, thanks to your "holier than thou" comments, you have just lost a HUGE chunk of your fan base. I hope you suffer the same fate as Ian did this year with Madden. We need to get guys who are geeky enough to handle the ability to design a videogame, and guys who have actually STEPPED on the field and played (and im not talking about band instruments, or flag twirlers) to create these games. Maybe THEN we could get some serious football games.

Did he really say that?
 
# 632 The JareBear @ 08/18/11 08:42 PM
They were talking about the passionate fan base, and how it is a blessing and a curse.

The host said something about "Ben sometimes people can just be mean." or something like that

Ben started talking about people and complains and he said that line, word for word.

Later on in the interview he DID acknowledge that the transfer failed glitch and CPB bugs are huge and he wishes they had caught it bfore the release, so I give him credit there, he seemed sincere about regretting those bugs.
 
# 633 nonnel @ 08/18/11 09:12 PM
He said he really couldn't tell us when the patch would be out. The closest he could say is between "Tomorrow and Christmas". Awesome.
 
# 634 nonnel @ 08/18/11 09:13 PM
Also, the fact that he has no idea when it will be out means they haven't even sent it to Sony yet. Meaning, it will be AT LEAST another 2-3 weeks.

I have no words for this just heavily disappointed that a game I bought in July most likely won't be fully functional until early or mid September.
 
# 636 kodiak @ 08/18/11 09:55 PM
What a joke. This interview just reaffirms my choice to no longer purchase NCAA new anymore. I'll be damned if Tiburon deserves anymore of my money.

And this is why companies don't release patch notes until the patch is finished...

We knew going in and for the past few years this game has been programmed by second rate programmers and staff....to expect anymore would be expecting a miracle. At this point we can either be happy with what we got or trade it in and never buy another EA product again.

this is, in my opinion, how we keep this from happening in the future.
 
# 640 FSUNOLE03 @ 08/18/11 10:52 PM
one one hand I still have ncaa 11. Maybe we should have guys update the rosters for 11. I'm on the fence about trading this and getting madden. I havn't bought madden this gen yet. Hoping it's at least decent.
