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.

People are complaining.... But I bet your asses are still playing it right NOW.
 
# 842 Kingpin 510 @ 08/24/11 03:17 AM
I'm not upset but if anything, somewhat confused. Because on their blog, they didn't say, "We will be fixing....."

They actually said, "Fixed......... issue." So, I'm like, what?

Not to be an ***, but I'm actually not playing the game right now at all. In fact I haven't played one full game in 2 weeks or so. I'm waiting for the patch to finally start my dynasty. Luckily I have The Show and the NHL 12 demo to tide me over.

Do you really care where I sent this from?
 
# 847 King Gro23 @ 08/24/11 09:17 AM
The "patch makers" or whatever you call them can fix the RTG playcalling while their at it! It's a dismal the playcalling is unplayable(IMO) in certain situations. Like when your running the ball down by 1-7 points and your on your 40 (60 yards from paydirt) and your team has no time outs. Or Any yardage length with that situation and you get run the clock out power runs. . Frustrating or the common FOUR VERTICALS like that play works in real life?
haha Im done venting

I've stopped playing as well. I had started a dynasty but the coach progression got so screwed up I quit. Haven't touched it since. So pissed off.

Yeah the least they could have done was give us the tuner set to fix coach progression while we wait for the freaking patch.

I have been looking around today, trying to see if any EA person has posted anything about the patch recently.
I did find this post on the EA Forms (it was posted on 8/22)

"Hey BLOCKTRADER,

I just wanted to check in and let you know we are aware of the "Transfer Fail" issue and the Developers are currently investigating the cause. We will post back on this thread when more information becomes available.

Please feel free to post if you have any questions.
Thanks,
-Jaga-
"

this post is from an EA Admin.
He makes it sound like they do not have a fix for this.
I am hoping that he is just giving a standard answer, but i can not shake the feeling that EA has run into a problem.

i just wish they would give us an update good or bad.

no more patch info, just what Ben said in the interview most people here are pissed about.

What i think happened is that EA was not fully aware of the OD not transfering problem until after they had already released the patch notes. This is what it said in the patch notes

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.

It does not say anything about uploading of the game stats (ie W/L) to the EA servers.
I think they are trying to get the fix added in this patch.
And if that is the case, that is fine just a little communcation would be nice.
But I do think it may be a while before we see the patch

The only thing I haven't figured out is since tendencies got glitched once players names were added, and some players were moved around, position changes, etc on the good rosters, how will tendencies be fixed after the patch? Will all rosters have to be re-made?

EA said it should have no effect on any roster. Let's hope they are correct.

If the above ends up being the case, (and Madden turns out to be the superior football title), my copy of NCAA will remain in the shrinkwrap and be returned to Amazon for credit toward NBA 2k12...

I can't believe I passed on The Show for the first time this year, to get an early jump on NCAA and then...

I haven't touched it since I went on my rant. I don't even turn it on to advance my dynasty, I just do it from my phone or laptop. I've never been this turned off to NCAA. Not even w/ 07 or 09.

I know!

I played NBA2k11 until a few days ago, so I figured NCAA would be patched and playable by now...

Also, I wanted to skip a year of The Show in case the new hitting and pitching options needed to be fine tuned...

This time next year, I will mos def be playing baseball while all this EA patch nonsense plays out...for the umpteenth time...

Ugh...

I think that we can all agree that by far the biggest problem is the lack of competition, possibly followed by a lack of accountability.


I do wonder if a few people were scolded/lost their jobs for this mishap. While EA is playing it cool to all of us, you would think at a major company that something like this would be a huge problem internally.


For one, I am hoping that EA is using "coach speak" when talking about the issues, but in reality are very disappointed with the results of this game’s final product. Who really knows tho.....
