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.

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...
In fairness, i've barely touched The Show ever since i picked up NCAA...and even though NCAA needs improvement, i'm still finding a way to enjoy it...And with Madden around the corner, my football fix will be complete!

Give it a little bit more time.

Over at NCAA Strategies a user claims he heard from an EA guy that the patch has been turned in and is waiting on MS and Sony to release it.

I could be totally gullible for believing it....but I have to have hope!!

The excuse when a patch is late is always it's MS and Sony's fault.

Wow, no offense man, but you're a little too gung ho for EA. C'mon ....don't just be satisfied just b/c you're a football fan and the game turns on and boots up properly. To each his own though....

And if you don't think "EA will screw us for an entire year", ask the ppl who bought their NCAA college basketball game about that. NCAA football sells more copies than that game so I doubt EA would do that here, but that proves they arent above doing something shady like that......that also doesn't mean that this patch will be anything more than an "attempt" to fix this game. An attempt which I hope will fix this game, but in my heart I feel this patch is just going to be an attempt to avoid a PR nightmare.

Yeah other game developers never really seem to have to problem with MS and Sony except EA Sports.

I hope this wasn't a recent post. This could mean it'd be another month!

Actually it was a recent post. IMO that should mean if the patches work properly and don't mess up the consoles we should see the patch next week.

If it doesn't pass MS or Sony's watch....it could be awhile (although I don't anticipate that)

Of course I'm just speculating as I have no expertise in this whole thing.

Listen....i'll be the first to give a harsh reaction if a) there is actually no patch or b) if the patch doesn't change anything.....I just like to be optimistic until there's hard concrete facts that steer me the opposite way...Am i 100% satisfied? No i'm not....Is the game so unplayable as people make it seem? No it's not...I'm making due for now and being a gamer that only play baseball/football games, it's not like i have a lot of options as far as video games are concerned....

I feel like GOB from Arrested Development. "Oh, COME ON!"

For non-AD fans a brief clip of what I mean.

I hope you're right about seeing the patch next week. Passing Sony or MS can sometimes take weeks.

the transfer failed issues are more than likely a server side issue, meaning there wont be a need to have a client side patch. It'll just be updated/fixed.

Me too. I used to play through the issues, but being out of college now and with a full time job, I dont have as much time to play anymore. Plus I got the Show for the first time and have been playing that. Probably has been a month since I played NCAA. XBL GT is Sublime12089 if ppl think I am full of ****

Edit: idk if this link will work for you guys, but I played last on July 25th. http://live.xbox.com/en-US/GameCenter

Frankly done with the game while I enjoy Madden. If the franchise mode is as good as advertised maybe I wont come back.

The college football lover in me who's travelling to see USC, Wisconsin and Penn State this year to see games live just died a little on the inside. Thanks EA.

I wish all these bugs were just GOB's illusion.
