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.

At first, the freeze issue was not affecting me. Now, whenever I am in the 4th qtr and with less than 2 mins to play, it freezes. Has happened 3 days in a row.

I am normally a patient man. I understand this stuff takes time. I can be seen many times half way defending these games all over this forum.

But after 2 nite, I am pissed bro. I mean, ****ing fighting mad.

Nope. You're not allowed to be. Many users on this board would tell you that it's not EA's fault you bought their game, and you should just not purchase it next year and stop complaining.

End of August eh, EA?
 
# 964 franko3219 @ 08/26/11 12:22 AM
I guess EA is taking their patch notes from Eutenx (Nascar)

Just take it easy big guy, who can possibly stop you from being upset? Play the victim all you want, some of us just aren't asking for anything for free and learning our lesson IN SILENCE. If you feel like you can't express yourself here you have nobody to blame but yourself.

I know this is a joke and I doubt it would happen, but still, it truly feels like something that they would do. Why not make people pay for a fix to their game? So basically paying $80 for ncaa 12 instead of $60. Then make another ESPN special about the making of the patch, congratulating themselves on their "hard work".

So it must be the turnover screwing things up. I havent had a turnover in a OT game so I cant comment on that

at this point why not develop a patch every year for $20 and have updated rosters, uni's, staduims, teams..etc. Until we move on to the next gen, we are not going to see much improvement in graphics. use this game as a base, EA and just make a Patch 2013, 2014. save some development money, save US some money, and quit raising our Expectations each year. the same ****birds come on here and say we are done with you, then july comes around and we are first day buyers. (myself included) quit yanking our wankies, and we willl stop paying the pimp.

This makes no sense. I know you dont like EA but come on. EA will not charge for a patch.
 
# 972 stoncold32 @ 08/26/11 01:48 AM
I really dont even consider us as "Beta testers" like many of you suggest. Because if we were beta testers/user testers, this game wouldnt continually have the same issues year after year.

We're 6 games in on next-gen and STILL can't get a game that works properly.

Not just turnovers. I had a game where in the second OT BSU kicked a FG and got the ball back at when I should have gotten the ball.
As soon as I picked a defensive play the game ends.

Yup, same scenario has happened to me a few times. When I'm messing around in Play Now working on a side (offense or defense), I'll supersim the opposite side. First time it (OT/FG glitch) happened to me, I stupidly thought it was because I SS half the game. Then it happened again, and I thought for sure that was the reason. Then it happened with me playing both sides of the ball.

I haven't played in a couple weeks, and still haven't touched Dynasty as I've been waiting for the patch so I could actually use named rosters. Now I'm not sure if I want to do a Dynasty. Seems like I stop playing this game earlier and earlier as the years pass, and I LOVE College Football.

Please, for the love of God EA, fix this ****ing game.

I hate that I've spent the prime time for playing NCAA Football 12 waiting for a patch...

Madden comes out next week.
NBA 2K and Battlefield 3 come out in October.
Modern Warfare 3 comes out in November.

I usually pick up NCAA consistently again around National Signing Day
 
# 976 N51_rob @ 08/26/11 04:06 AM
I get Madden today at 6 pm. My dynasties are entering bowls and one was ruined by the issues with online dynasty. If I didn't play in any online dynasties this game would be getting sold tomorrow. The patch has taken way to long for me. But since I am in OD's they literally have about 19 days to get a patch out. 60 days is to many days to wait for the one patch that NCAA will get that still wont fix all issues. Not to mention we haven't received a single tuner yet. So pissed.

I have decided to not buy another NCAA football game until they the psychic D is removed. It's no fun when the defense knows exactly what play you're running.

I haven't had a turnover either. I know how OT works. Have you ever played past the 2nd OT? This glitch has happened to me many times in NCAA 11 and 12.

This has happened to me once in NCAA 10. Luckily haven't experienced this in 11 or 12.
