NCAA Football 12 Update From EA SPORTS

10:34 AM - September 21, 2011 by Dewiel

Hey Everyone,

I’d like to provide everyone with an update on where we are with the two of the main issues with NCAA Football 12. Once I have more information to share, I’ll provide another update.

- No Huddle Issue introduced in title update #2

We’ve identified and fixed the “No Huddle” bug that was introduced in title update #2. Since becoming aware of the issue, we immediately began work on a resolution and this will be released in the next title update. Title Update #3 is currently in our own internal certification process and we’ll provide an update once we make it through the 1st party certification process (Sony and Microsoft).

- Transfer Fails

The team has been working around the clock to identify and address the transfer fail issues that some of you have been experiencing. While we have been successful in addressing many of the transfer fail issues that users who were stuck in “Bowl Week” were experiencing, we are still investigating the other versions of the transfer error. It’s important to let you know that the “Transfer Fail” message is a generic message and could be one of several different issues. We have been reaching out to the community to collect additional information about their Online Dynasties to help us track down and solve these issues. With the number of customizable options available in Online Dynasty, it’s imperative that we get these details in order to replicate the issues. We thank you for your continued support and detailed feedback on the issues at hand.

If you are experiencing a transfer fail issue, and have not done so already, feel free to provide us with the following information here in this thread:

Name of Dynasty:

Console:

Gamertag/PSN ID:

Commissioner's Gamertag/PSN ID:

Number of users in Dynasty:

Exact week/spot where you are stuck:

Date & Approx time of your last transfer failure error (Please try again and provide the info if you don't remember):

When it is failing? (For example, is it when you're trying to upload a game, a team change, or after advancing a week? If it's advancing a week, can you include whether it is when you're advancing to or from your week. For example, advancing to week 7.):

Any special settings in your dynasty (Custom Playbooks, TeamBuilder,
Coaching Carousel, Custom Conferences):

If you're using Custom Conferences, what changes did you make? (Ex. Turning the Big East into a 16 team league):

Do you/can you provide a video link showing off the exactly what you’re seeing on your console? Visually seeing this is huge for the developers.

Please copy and paste the format above in your response so that it's easy to pass along to the team. Thanks in advance.

Thanks,

Justin Dewiel, EA SPORTS Community Manager

Can title update#3 include? Degradation to the away jerseys? I mostly play offline and this is MAJOR let down for NOT BEING FIXED RIGHT AWAY ESPECIALLY JERSEY DEGRADATION WAS BROKEN OUT OF THE BOX FOR NCAA11.

Too little, too late.

It's almost 3 months after NCAA 12's release and the game's best mode, Online Dynasty, remains unplayable due to the "Transfer Failed" error.

A glitch of this magnitude should have been caught in QA testing or fixed within the first few weeks of release, not 3 months later.

And now manpower that can be used on 13 is trying to fix these issues

# 44 Dewiel @ 09/21/11 03:02 PM

I've seen several posts asking about title update #3 so I wanted to give some more clarification. We wanted to get the "No Huddle" fix out there as quickly as possible, so Title Update #3 only addresses the "No Huddle" issue. We are still collecting feedback and looking into other issues. I'll keep you guys posted.

# 45 Computalover @ 09/21/11 03:05 PM

I agree with this setiment whole-heartedly, and in this case I think it is fair criticism of EA & NCAA '12. Many of us will be on to other games (fifa, nba 2k, battlefield, gears,etc.) by the time "Update #3!" comes out. Ncaa 12 was released as an unfinished product! The only way consumers can fight back is with their wallet. Lesson learned for me.

This has been a problem for ages!!! Last gen I used to take the time to fix the depth charts myself with named rosters. Div II teams as well.

# 48 lhinds7 @ 09/21/11 03:36 PM

Agree with the "too little, too late" statement. At this point they should just release a statement saying we screwed up. Don't know if EA would be willing to do much else. A new gameplay engine is in need for 2013 and on. Start over from a blank slate.

How did the 'No Huddle' bug get ranked in over the Tendencies or Transfer Fail glitches?!

# 50 bcduggan @ 09/21/11 03:50 PM

Is the issue with defense players on options getting fixed this year? Thanks

Easier fix. Able to get it out quicker.

# 52 BaylorBearBryant @ 09/21/11 03:52 PM

So no mention of the tendency bug still being broken...

Thanks for the update, and I'm glad you guys at EA are looking into all the radom freezing in the game, seriously this is the only game I have that out right freezes, and multiple times at that.

And to those who don't think we should mention over and over and over about the other countless bugs and glitches that are plaguing what could be a great game--

^^^^^This 1000%! This is a legitimate problem in this game and the fix on my end shouldn't just be 'Don't run the option'. It looks really bad and this is probably my biggest gripe with what I feel is a great game. I really hope they got under the hood on this issue. It's great to hear about those other fixes though and I appreciate D updating us all..

I agree with you as I have seen some very venomous and classless posts by users here bashing EA and calling out devs by name, but luckily those guys get banned. The problem here with your argument is that none of that bashing happened in this thread. I saw users bringing up legitimate issues like.

4 verts play problems.
jersey degradation
Off cord/Tv games in dynasty
AI FG logic on Heisman level (issue has been around since at least last yr)
and freezing CBs on option plays just to name a few

Now Dewiel did mention that the devs were aware of all of the issues that we are mentioning, but it doesn't hurt for guys to sound off about what they see wrong with the game. One user even figured out the pattern for the tendency glitch. He has every right to add that to this discussion. We all want the same thing. We want the game to work properly. No one is asking for perfection at all.

Dont hate. We have a blog submitted by someone within EA and it is an opportunity for those who didnt bail on the game to provide feedback on things that are still impacting gameplay.

I believe everyone understands the purpose of this blog but the OP asked for feedback. You dont like what you read then move along. No one that posted was harsh or inconsiderate when there is much reason to be. Many are happy that EA is putting out a third update which is unheard of.

I thought someone figured out how to make these work.

# 58 GoToledo @ 09/21/11 04:43 PM

I know it has been mentioned before, but I am experiencing a lot more freezes post patch/ tuner than before. I experience freezing while cycling through the game menus and while playing games, and it can be just maddening at times. Is this also an issue being worked on?

Well, fixing no huddle will help me a lot, more defensively than offensively. I had been pretty successful running no huddle post-patch because of the way I set up my audibles, but it will be nice having the full playbook at my disposal.

Really wishing the option defense thing will get looked at, I run some form of option on the majority of my runs and I don't want to be in a position to take a dive on a play just because of foosball defense.

The frozen formations in custom playbooks and the removal of some formations is unfortunate and I wish that could be fixed, but again, I can make it work.

Everything else I just deal with as it comes, I did have my first disconnect in a user vs user online dynasty game last night, which cost me any chance at winning it, but one time in a ton of games isn't bad. I still see super LB's jumping all over the place, it isn't fixed at all, at least not on Heisman but it's been there for years and you just get used to it.

Hopefully EA can undo the problems caused by Patch #2 (without causing more) and then fix any remaining transfer failed problems and that should be enough for 2012. I know that would annoy the hell out of many of you, but, I'd rather them focus on 2013 than patching bits and pieces of '12 together and possibly hurting this game more and hurting development of 2013.
