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.

Just take a moment. And go back to a time (PS1, PS2/XBOX) when we would get our sports games, whether that was Madden, NCAA, Triple Play, NHL, 2K football and basketball.....and we found plenty of bug's, glitches and imperfections.

What did we all do then? We kept playing, and getting the most out of the game. Came up with house rules if it was really annoying...we did whatever we had to to make sure we can overcome and enjoy the game.

Today we have patches.

People easily forget last gen, when we had no choice. We either accepted the imperfections (which every sports game enounter because...it is a video game and not real life) or a programming bug of some sort that comes up when you put enough hours into a game. We kept playing, and enjoying our franchises.

What the heck has happened here?

Yes the game has warts and bugs. But I am in year 3....with named rosters and having an amazing time. And I know there are hundreds of thousands of NCAA 12 players out there that are too.

OS has become a tiny island in a vast ocean that "so called" hard core sports gamers come and gather to wallow in their frustrations that they can't get a realistic game experience or this is broken or that is not working right and placebo effect this.....oh my goodness.

And it is on every sub forum here. Even for the so-called greatest sports games of our lives (The Show 2011, NBA 2K11).

Everyone has a right to express their opinions. But the core disfunction that has really plagued this great community is the intense, loud and immature posts that have spread like a disease and have infested and trolled what are meant to be informational threads as well as mature and intelligent discussions about our great sports games of today.

Think what you all want about EA, or 2K basketball or EA NHL or whatever.

We have never had so good with sports video games......ever. I don't care what the negative voices keep bitching about.

Everyone holds on to memories of yesteryear because yeah....there were some great games....back then! But now? They can't hold a candle to what we have.

My opinion.

The patch will get here. And I feel bad if your stuck in this misery of not being able to play this game. I just can't understand that line of thinking. The game is extremely playable. I don't get it.

Guess I am either too old to care or maybe I am blissfully ignorant.

It's a video game.....nothing more...nothing less. Life is short.


Play hard.

I'm sorry, but your inspirational speech lost me the moment you misspelled "sports".

This.

I hate having to end a game in regulation (cheap offensive tactics or surrender a touchdown) to keep a feel of a great game alive. It's disappointing.

I am having major freezing issues inside 2 minutes in the 4th. It's happened 5 times this week. This is beyond ridiculous.

The only problem with this statement is you cant continue playing the game because of the bugs. Freezing and locking up is a bug u cant play thru .

Play hard.
You know, I was all on board with this line of thinking until last nyte.

How am I to play through freezes?

My slider sets I have, all the tweaking I have done, gameplay, rosters, the whole nyne...all that stuff is spectacular. It has made for a great playing game.

However, back in the "good ole' days", I never had an issue with freezing that I am now. And there is no slider to adjust the freezing rate. It is frustrating to no end.

I've tried playing the same game 3 times 3 straight days (Nebraska @ Penn St.-I have yet to win @ Penn St. through 5 or 6 years, so for me it's a big rivalry.). Everytime, under 2 minutes to play, it freezes on me. You can't just play through that.

Just a video game? Yes. But for me, it is also a hobby that I enjoy and spend a lot of spare time.

Bike riding is a hobby too. Let's say I go for a 5 mile ride. 3 days in a row, the chain pops off everytime with 1 mile left to go and I can't fix it. Same principle.

My opinion.

Sorry for the rant.

I'm curious to see if the incoming rookies in Madden have screwed up tendencies/player roles.

You buy a new bike?

Seems to me that's a much more expensive hobby that people are ok putting a lot of money into....weird how analogies sometimes work against your point.

Either way, you're right about the freezing thing, i'm not discounting that, but if other things in my life break, i just replace them. You obviously can't replace NCAA with another working NCAA (because it doesn't exist for you) so just replace it with something else entirely. Move on and don't stress about things you can't control.

Glad I am waiting until Christmas to buy Madden then. Looks like EA (or at least Tiburon) is falling apart.
 
# 998 TheDelta @ 08/26/11 01:32 PM
Yeah since I decided for NCAA for my birthday, I'm gonna wait a little on Madden too. I guess it's best to wait 2-3 months on each game to give them time to fix the worst issues.

I will say this. Bear in mind I have hated Madden in the past. My initial time with Madden has been positive, and while for close to a decade I have preferred NCAA over Madden by a landslide, I could see myself playing Madden over NCAA this year.

Of course that opinion is subject to change after I spend more than 15 minutes with the game. Madden just seems more refined than NCAA on the field this year, if that makes sense.

So, just move on to something else and don't stress it? Got it.

This will make me a great consumer.
