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.

Look on the bright side. It's giving the roster makers tons of time to polish up their files.

I'm not happy the patch isn't out yet, I'm just trying to stay positive.

Personally I think I will go on a game buying strike and finish all the different games I have yet to complete.

Nothing worse than wanting to get your Online dynasty started with your friends and you can't because the game RELEASED BROKEN!!!
I already started doing that haha, finally beat Demon's Souls! At least when that game pisses me off it's my own fault.

Even if it is along the lines of "sorry guys, ran into a problem. Patch is delayed until second week of September." That would still be preferable to silence.
Somehow I'd doubt EA would say whether or not Sony & MS are currently in possession of the patch. Doing so would risk irritating Sony/MS by pressuring to release a patch that may not have been tested to make sure it doesn't cause problems with Sony or MS's network (at least that's what I've previously heard).

The real reason sooo many people are finally coming out with anger towards this is because of a couple simple facts.

People settle for EA football because it is the most current football game out there. While it might not be the best at simulation the real game, it is the most current with updated rosters, new lighting, new graphics, etc etc. While it lags behind from other stellar franchises, it is still the only football games in town.

Now people have been ok with "making do" because at least the game worked. Then this year hit and the game is broken on a technical level for many many people. So now these "settling people" are now getting a broken product. Which as you can see equals to some highly pissed off long time fans of the series!

Sony & MS have probably had the patch a bunch of times now but they keep denying it because they can't get past the press start screen still

This is one post I don't understand. The attitude that if you don't like something you should just shut up and let what you consider to be failings continue...If everyone followed that logic we would not have Coaching Carousel now when it has been demanded for years, the EA team would not know about numerous bugs that have been reported by the community over the years, and so on. Feedback is actually helpful for a company, good or bad, so they know what they can do to attract more customers in the future and retain the ones they already have. Of course though it is up to the individual company whether or not they listen.

Thank you fine sir. This literally was a laugh out loud moment for me when I read this.

I just wanted to be a stand out OC, that's all. Is that to much to ask for? I had dreams of turning the Wild Cat into a more formal system integrating the spread and no huddle into a crazy No Spread Cat offense that defenses couldn't handle.

I guess if I would have known the patch would have taken this long I would have just deleted the named rosters and lived with the glitches. Now, I've gone to far. I already drank the koolaid. I can't turn back now.

Uh what?

I don't get it.

While, if the patch was to come out before Madden, then they would probably give NCAA another shot and if the patch makes NCAA play good (which is what we are all hoping for) than they may end up not getting Madden for many reasons (money, don't need two football games, etc).
"causal impatient gamers" don't care about a patch and probably don't even know what a patch is.

the release of Madden should have no bearing on the release date of the patch.

I don't consider this game broken so that why I would buy another on release day.


Do you really care where I sent this from?

Ima tell you right now, the patch will fix eveyrthing mentioned, but create 3 more problems. I'm not saying this to be a debbie downer, but its kind of just how these things seem to work.

I dont know why people are so pissed. They said before the end of August. I bet its the 31st.

I dont know why people are so pissed.

Purchased game on July 12th, it's going on August 24th!!!
With many, $65 dollars is not a drop in the bucket, so I can see why considering the above.

They said before the end of August. I bet its the 31st.

And if not, would they then have a reason to be P'd?

As mentioned in today's radio show, there might be something that they are having issues being able to fix.

These weren't your normal year-in, year-out game bugs.
There's some serious coding/programming issue at heart here, so it's quite possible that the release date can be extended to September.

I understand why people are mad about the bugs but not why the patch hasn't been released yet. EA said before the end of August and people act like they have lied so yes if it's not out before September then I will understand the frustration.


Do you really care where I sent this from?
