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.

25 hours until I can start downloading Madden 12 so I'm not sure I care anymore about this NCAA patch. I have a good feeling Madden 12 is going to be in better shape out of the box than NCAA 12 was. Problem is I would really like to be able to export my first year of college over to Madden for when I start the franchise. But i'm stuck at the end of season 1 in NCAA now waiting for patch so I can get rid of that tendancy bug before I go to season 2 of dynasty which will in turn slow me down from doing a franchise in Madden

Though thinking about it Madden rosters will be way out of whack probably for a few weeks so :P

You can advance past the players leaving stage and export your draft class without any effect with regard to the patch. Just don't advance past the training results screen.

Peter Moore's exit out of EA Sports has already had a negative effect on the group.

I never liked Peter Moore to begin with. He was a big supporter of online play and I think he ignored the hardcore sports fan and catered to the casual fan.

Just look at the features that have been stripped from NCAA and Madden and the silly things put in. The Mascot Game, and the one button play game is silly. So was the Re-Wind Feature in Madden.

In Game Saves are what I wish NCAA would put in. But hey, we have the Mascot Game.

We've had the mascot game forever.


Do you really care where I sent this from?

As I understand, you should be able to get the patch in foreign countries.
 
# 928 Howie5 @ 08/25/11 11:05 AM
you can play until the training results page?

Thats good news...I didn't want to wait to play my year 2 bowl game, now ill get after it until the training results(hoping this is true!).
 
# 929 PLACT15 @ 08/25/11 11:09 AM
Tired of waiting on this patch. I haven't touched this game in 3 weeks simply because I hate it. I'm just gonna get some draft classes and try to get some credit towards 2k12.

Conventional wisdom tells me you dont, but I wouldnt be surprised if you did.
Conventional wisdom suggests that blindly and continually harrassing the creator would end up with you getting kicked out of the store permanently. Most people that are arguing the point I am are just saying it's beating a dead horse now, no one is saying anything new besides that it's going to be time to only play madden or that they won't be buying NCAA until september next year. At least that's what I'm arguing for.

I've tried skimming this thread for confirmed information, but it's 105 pages now and there's more bickering than anything else...so I'll just ask. Is this the only confirmed information as far as the patch timeline is concerned?: "The patch is currently on schedule to release before the end of the month, no exact date, as of yet."

Also, what are some good people to follow on twitter for updates? Thanks!

I don't believe there was anything officially confirmed, just lots of speculation. From what I gather the EA guy didn't even say a realistic time table in his interview.

Not sure who you could follow on twitter, but I believe some on here will have that info, I'd like it as well!

Well they re-vamped it in 2009.

Another day, another disappointment...
 
# 935 Td1984 @ 08/25/11 11:57 AM
I was checking out Justin Dewiel's twitter and he told someone back on Tuesday that he'd have some info on the NCAA 12 patch that he'd post yesterday. Except he never did.

My interest in keeping this game is waning.

If I don't flip it for Madden, it will definitely be flipped for NHL.

I don't want to flip it because I want to like it and know it willb e halfway decent whenever they get around to fixing it, but the arrogance demonstrated by the NCAA staff with their big pat on the back ESPNU series is extremely of off-putting when coupled with all the problems this game has.
 
# 938 BOSKY! @ 08/25/11 01:33 PM
Almost ZERO updates out in twitter land as of 09:33 AM West Coast time. If I hear anything in twitter world, I'll post it here ASAP if someone doesn't beat me to it. Not expecting anything though.

The one-button mode has a function that is not aimed at anyone on this message board, that being to allow the game to be accessible to people who have never played before. To that end, it is a great and worthwhile feature, because it expands EA's customer base and introduces more people to the game of football in its digital form in a manner that isn't wholly intimidating.

Also, when will people realize that the often-derided mascot game is just a player model and roster file swap that at this point would just take more effort to remove than not touch at all?
 
# 940 The JareBear @ 08/25/11 01:48 PM
Yeah, and once we get a date then people will spend all day typing about how it should have been sooner. Then when something isn't fixed in the patch they will be mad that the devs didn't get every single bug in before releasing it.

I played NCAA 11 until the day 12 came out, I have played 12 once in the last 2 weeks, I am as frustrated as you guys, but instead of just this vicious cycle of the same bickering comments thrown back and forth why not focus on something else. Like things that haven't been listed in the patch blog yet and should be listed for EA to take a look at
