I have a local store I trade my games too. They give you more credit for games.

+1. Stuff like lightening quick reflexes and reactions from LBs has been in the game for years. Can't think of how many times I've had a ball swatted down by someone I didn't factor in AT ALL. It happens. And throwing a ball around the middle of the field has always been a 'hold your breath' scenario because of frequent interceptions.

Sucks for all of you online dynasty guys, but I'm not one of them. So while I haven't played the game yet, I don't see any reason not to buy it - the core game play isn't broken, it's just unchanged. I've never REALLY had an issue with it other than a mild annoyance at times. It's not EVERY pass play by any means. Option blocking was dicey in '11, too. Good luck trying to run it! Regular run blocking is sufficient, though.

The game will NEVER be perfect for the "simple" reason that it's a video game. They can't program the players to "think" - they can 'only' program a combination of scenarios. Sometimes, unrealistic things happen as a result of a predetermined outcome, but it's just the nature of a video game. They can't program anything truly random.

Your best bet for as close to a simulation as possible is to go outside and play. Sign up for a flag football league or something, I don't know.

Anyone else pissed they added game of the week and we still have no patch and the transfer error still occurs??? Just shows their ignorance!!

Do you think EA is embarrassed at all by this game, or are they too busy high-fiving? My guess is high-fiving, since it did bring in a ton of money despite critical reviews.

If NCAA 2012 was a movie, it'd be Transformers. And Haumiller would be played by Shia Labeouf.

A more understated fist bump is my guess.

The irony is that many of us are waiting on this patch so the game can be Transformed! LOL

Maybe Microsoft and Sony tested the patch and sent it back. You know, like people are doing with the game itself? smh

Trading in today after I sim a dynasty for some easy achievements. Thanks for keeping the thread and info going, guys. I just have finally reached the point where I'm done giving EA another chance. :/

Let's hope the 360 gets theirs today, too.

Which would go along with that rumor on the EA board that the patch would go live on the 9th - aka tomorrow. Interesting.

It's entirely possible that someone at Sony jumped the gun if the patch was supposed to be out tomorrow.

Like I said earlier, I thought there was a tuner coming out alongside this (I'm sure it was mentioned somewhere, though I can't find it now) and I haven't seen it, so that may not get pushed until both versions are out.

I see I'm going to have to stick my daughter in the bath tub and lock the 2 puppies outside so I can finally do this and get my dynasty going! Awesome news!

# 898 sniperscout75 @ 09/08/11 07:03 PM

Confirmed, ps3 here. 33mb in size. Also of note, my nephew says that his dynasty prompted him to resave his playbook and now his custom playbook has blank screens in between formations however i can not confirm this yet as im loading up. If this is true ill create a completely new playbook and see what the deal is.

Update: ok, already made custom playbooks are all jacked up currently with mine being completely different then what I made regarding having different formations and such so im gonna make a new one to see if all is well. So to clarify, my custom playbooks made before the patch 2 are all different and im having to remake them. Im not complaining just informing.

That news about the custom playbooks is a bit disconcerting.

# 900 sniperscout75 @ 09/08/11 07:16 PM

Ok, so just made a new playbook and all is well with no problems that im seeing regarding blank screens. It appears that was with already made playbooks. Also of note just to clarify, the problem I had with already made playbooks was that it was almost completely different with formations and such that I didnt have in there. Also there was a blank screen in between formations when I simply edited my already made playbook that wouldnt go away.

I made a new playbook from scratch just to check out and so far so good. This is obviously a very small sample test but I have a feeling people are gonna have to remake their playbooks from scratch. This was for offense and I havent checked my defensive playbook yet.

Update: My defensive playbook is all different too so im just gonna remake it as well. I just seen that there is a patch impression thread that I didnt know about. I dont really want to retype and try to move all of this if a mod feels this information is needed could you just move it to that thread possibly?
