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.

If they could speed up load times between weeks and especially in the offseason, on top of everything else in this patch, I would be beyond happy with this patch.

So, in effort to discuss what the thread was intended for.

I have to say i'm a bit surprised to come here today and find that nothing has been said concerning the patch.

Tomorrow, afterall, is tuesday, and september 1st is bringing it up the rear pretty quickly.

Should be an interesting next few days here at dear ole O/S.

#NCAAFootball12 Title Update #2 Update: We have made it through internal certification and now we're waiting on approval from Sony/Microsoft http://twitter.com/#!/EANCAAFootball...94863568261120

The update is hitting a bit later than expected because we addressed a few additional stability issues that will improve the experience. http://twitter.com/#!/EANCAAFootball...94926826758144

If its MS/Sony's than we would probably be looking at a week or so.

If its EA's than we would probably be looking at 2-3 weeks from now.


Can someone tweet back and ask who's internal certification.
Microsoft/Sony

I was at least expecting an update on what else was included in the patch. Ben said in the interview last week that he hoped to have an update for us very soon about what else had been added

I'm starting my 8th season in my offline dynasty, and I just started having major issues with freezing. I am glad to see that it is an issue that EA is at least willing and able to patch. I have been buying NCAA and Madden every year for about 13 years now, and it never ceases to amaze me how EA will take out features and constantly fix things that aren't broken. The draft class import into Madden is effing ridiculous, and it really bothers me to have to jump through hoops to be able to import my draft classes. 6 Seasons of draft classes gone.....and now freezing.

So I've got a question. It states that if you are beyond the first training results stage in a dynasty you must restart your dynasty for the patch to start, but it also says that if you are beyond that point the tendencies bug has less and less of an impact. That's not true however as all incoming recruits have their tendencies get screwed up as well.

So, is it saying that if you are beyond year one and training results the patch will not fix your new recruits tendencies, but if you are in year one still the patch will affect your dynasty and all players tendencies including current and incoming recruits?

What they mean is if you haven't passed that particular point in your dynasty then the patch will fix the tendencies of the players from the original roster but they won't be fixed after that point. All other fixes, including tendencies of new recruits will apply regardless of where you are in the dynasty when the patch is applied.

This is why they said the problems would be less with each new season as the original players who haven't been fixed because you were too far along will be leaving gradually.

Oh, that makes sense. Thank you.

WHERE ARE THE UPDATED UNIFORMS?!!? Come on..I was told the this patch would update the uniforms who have new uni's this year, but didn't make it into the game. My team, Kentucky, has new uni's, but it just doesn't feel authentic in dynasty mode because I'm in the old uniforms. Plus, I have a dynasty that I play a game on the game with the correct team/week in real life, and it just feels to unauthentic.

Doesn't seem like a big deal, but little things like this is why I play the game ..and why I love college and NCAA 12 better than pro and Madden.

Who told you this? Your statements to my understanding were never a part of the details given for patch #2. I agree that I would like to see other unis in game however Im curious where you supposedly got this "information" that they were suppose to update the unis with this patch. I also assume this is what you mean as you are posting in a thread "Title Update #2 Details".

PCs Unis will come from DLC not patches. I do remember back on one of the Ustreams that all the PCs that were part of all the "pre-order deals" will be included in the DLC. But the ones that were released post-release, IMO, will not be put in.

As far as new unis you will more than likely have to wait until NCAA 13 and even in some cases NCAA 14/15 for unis to be updated(nowadays trend where colleges are changing every year sooooo...good luck)
