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.

I have a dumb question. Do the NCAA 12 patches come through the PS3 as an update automatically, or do I have to go online and get them myself? I update everytime the PS3 notifies me of an update and I assumed the updates that prompt when you put the NCAA 12 game in for the first time are the patches to the game or if any new patches are released the game will prmopt for an update when you go to play it. The reason I'm asking is I'm still having freezing issues in the game.

Once the patch is released, it will prompt you to update when you put the game in.

Yeah, I doubt if I'll even start a dynasty at this point. I really can't believe how bad this game is glitched up this year.

It seemed like last year the patches were smaller and more frequent, which should have been the approach this year. This is really a shame! We have a 12 person league waiting for this patch to begin.

What people don't understand is yes, the patches were more frequent last year, but IMO i'm glad that they are spending more time on this. For the record, the patches came out sooner last year but also the patches did some funky things to gameplay that really set 11 back. By them taking time to approach the problems associated with 12 it really heightens the opportunity to address the severe problems with this title. Some people just don't have patience, I understand. The devs can't just throw this thing together and send it out. I think they learned from that mistake. People just chill, it surely won't be too long from now. If so, then so be it as long as it addresses the problems. I will wait for them to fix a game that then ultimately gives me my 60+ dollars worth!

also remember that each game is only allowed 2 free patches.
so, if they were to put out a 3rd patch like they did last year it would come out of their pockets which isn't likely to happen.

maybe they shouldn't have rushed the 1st patch out so fast considering it was available the day the game came out.

terrible foresight on that one has caused this 2nd patch to be severely delayed

IMO i don't think so since madden only cares about the attributes and not tendencies like ncaa does. just my thought so don't quote me on that...

This situation is so sad. Usually around this time, I would have put in a crazy amount of hours into NCAA and been knee deep in year two or three of my dynasty. Things are just too bugged up this year and now I am just losing interest.

Why am I waiting for a patch to play this when I have a perfectly working Deus Ex: Human Revolution??

One of the big additons this year in Madden is NEW player tendencies (or whatever they're calling it.) In fact, GotMadSkillzOn thinks that might have some relation to the root of the problem in NCAA 12.

I'd be surprised if draft classes work like they're supposed to.
 
# 951 LionsFanNJ @ 08/25/11 08:37 PM
Madden has more QB ratings than ncaa does anyway I doubt this roster bug will have any effect with madden and the tendencies it uses.

sent from parts unknown

You're talking about player roles (putting and RPG feel to the game) which I think used to be in Madden "08 or 09". To my knowledge, their roles are affected by how they/you play each game and then the game will assess that and then turn the players each week up or down in attributes as well as change roles (in fact if you played the demo, you'll see it when you press the start button during the game i.e. green/red arrows describing pos/neg roles). Sooo if that's the case, I don't see the roster glitch effecting Madden; but then again you never know...

EA can't exactly control when Microsoft and Sony finish approving the patch...

I didn't see any mention of the overtime glitch that has been in the game for 2 years now. You can't go past the 2nd OT without a team getting the ball on both possessions. It makes an intense classic game go to waste because of another glitch EA has ignored, but this time it's been 2 years and it's still not fixed.

Hopefully this is something they added to the patch. Just awful. Ruins great games.

At least that's what I'm arguing for.
It doesn't matter if no one is saying anything new. This scenario is going to credit the OS community with more power than we actually have, but it does illustrate the argument I'm going to make.
If you have 100 customers and only 1 of them complains then chances are it was just a singular case. If you have 100 customers and 20, 30, or 40 of them are complaining then you know there is a real issue that needs to be worked out. The more people complain the more a company realizes they have made an egregious error in their product or service that needs to be remedied and won't be tolerated in the future.

When customers stop complaining they lose their right to complain.

Ive never had a problem in overtime

If you start on offense in the 1st OT, youll start on defense in the 2nd OT, then offense in the 3rd OT, then defense in the 4th OT

So a user would play: offense, defense// defense, offense// offense,defense// defense, offense

I have, it has happened to me twice in NCAA 12. They get the ball first, both times we get a turnover, but they get to keep the ball, and the game ends when they get a score.
