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.

Good, 2K would have to wait a couple of years to make a Pro game but they should totally come out with a College game. It would sell, I bet ya!

I agree but I would still need to rent ea's game for the downloaded rosters.

No, I want 2K nowhere near a college game. 2K3 was their last one and it was horrible.

yep, best competition ea ever had... cant say to much bout college though since i dont think they ever had one but if its anything like their older games from dreamcast or the one when they had espn with them (warren sapp on cover) then they should be really nice. in fact if i recall, 2k rivaled ea neck to neck and thats why probably ea bought out the rights and with that monopoly you see poor production since theres no competition. sneaky bastards lol

There is no downside to competition. And that was 2003. Who says they can't do a better job in 2012?

1. All their college football games sucked. 2. They haven't made a football game period in over 3 years.

I thought with all the posts today in this thread that something had developed regarding the patch, instead it's pages of people wanting 2k to make a cfb game. Silly me.
 
# 729 bkrich83 @ 08/21/11 04:54 PM
There is absolutely nothing to indicate 2k has any interest or even the capability to produce an NCAA game any time in the near future. It'd be nice but is anything but a given.

Ugh. 2ks college football games were horrid, and the assumption that making a good pro game will equal making a good college game is short sighted. Two entirely seperate types of game.

As opposed to a partial college degree? Didn't know those existed

I just had to download something....I'm not sure what it was...I don't think it was the patch

My gut says "not on a Sunday in a million years", but I'm checking anyway...

Edit: Nope. Nothing on PS3. Probably a system update, which people often mistake it for.

Very true. Go back and read reviews from back then and almost universally the game was criticized for feeling lik the pro game with a college skin.

Re-release 2k5 with HD graphics and it would still be miles ahead of anything we have experienced as far as football games go in the last decade. Pretty much every other sport has innovated but football is a complete disgrace.

1 problem, you're talking about pro. I'm talking about college.

Lets keep this to just discussion about the patch. No discussion of other football games in here. Last warning for everyone.

from wiki :
In December 2010, A U.S. district court judge certified a class action anti-trust lawsuit against Electronic Arts for anti-competitive practices to proceed[1]. Pending the outcome of the suit, 2K Sports could be granted NFL rights again which would permit the series to continue.


But in February of 2011, EA dealt yet another blow to 2k sports hopes of making NFL licensed games. They extended the exclusive contract until the year 2013. This latest deal came to fruition only a few weeks before the NFL began locking out players.
