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.

# 742 Rawdeal28 @ 08/22/11 04:44 AM

# 743 sub9er @ 08/22/11 05:22 AM
my guess would be september 6th or 13th.
 
# 744 kjjnesb @ 08/22/11 08:23 AM
I'm thinking it drops tomorrow or the 30th
 
# 745 Rufus @ 08/22/11 11:36 AM
I'm thinking it hasnt even gone to Microsoft or Sony yet, so my guess is sometime after Labor Day.
 
# 746 baccVols @ 08/22/11 11:42 AM
Ughh. I'm off work 28th-5thm ill probably be addicted to madden if the patch doesn't come out this week

I wonder if therewill be an ESPN special call "the patching of NCAA 12" since they had so many about the making of NCAA 12 it only seems natural!

My guess is that it comes out tomorrow. I can't see why they'd wait for Madden to be released. However, after what I experienced with NCAA 12 I'm not going to buy Madden right away until I hear if it's playable or not. So I might not have anything to play for a while if they don't get this done soon.

I'm not one to complain, but when I get freeze after freeze, it makes it frustrating and pretty much unplayable.

Is this thing even worth waiting for?

The patch? Yes, this could be a very good game with this patch.
 
# 754 NateDogPack12 @ 08/22/11 02:37 PM
You know, the fact this patch is taking a little longer may actually be for our benefit in the long run. I just want them to fix all these glaring transfer failed problems with online dynasty. Based on the an interview that was discussed in these forums, there are additional fixes that will take place beyond what is listed. We should be able to enjoy a much less broken game once this update comes out. All these glitches and bugs pretty much make OD unplayable at the moment. Maybe that will change. If we have to wait a week for that to happen, I'm OK.

LOL yeah considering its taking enough time to make at least 4 episodes. Unbelievable, I just wanna start my dynasty.

If it comes out in september, especially the 13th as someone guessed, theres no shot of me playing this game anytime soon anyways if Madden is playable.

It would be awesome if one of the updates allowed us to eliminate conferences altogether (and re-align conferences in RTG), but I'll keep dreaming.

Yeah Im guessing Monday or Tuesday too. It would be pointless to release it on Maddens release date.
 
# 758 theonlywhiteout @ 08/22/11 07:28 PM
Sorry to be a wet blanket but the patch is out sept 6th ladies and gents. its obviously not ready for tomorrow, and theres no way they release it madden day.

le sigh.
 
# 759 stigs007 @ 08/22/11 08:48 PM
I'm amazed that people are going to go out and buy Madden on release day all while we're still here waiting for EA to fix the problems with NCAA.

Many people who are buying Madden don't know or better don't care at all about NCAA
