3 days too late IMO. Rage and NBA 2K12 comes out tomorrow. Would have been better news if they said patch coming out friday and we will be releasing TUNERS to fix gameplay AI issues starting tomorrow.
You know the thing called TUNERS. The thing they said at E3 they will be using a lot of this year. More tuners then patches.
But over all if a month is called rushing, I would hate to see what taking their time looks like.
Yeah I am thinking this is the last patch for NCAA 12. It is already October.....by their timeline, if they RUSH it will still take them another month before it comes out.
Therefore I highly doubt they will be releasing a patch around thanksgiving. Around this time of the year they already be full steam ahead of the next year's game.
Same thing happens every year. What ever don't get fixed by October, don't get fixed. History over the past 4 years have shown us that October is the cut off period for patches for NCAA.
Takes away resources from the new game. Which they usually try have an alpha build of by Christmas time.
Good news, but if this is indeed the last patch it is disappointing that it only fixed one issue (albeit a pretty severe one).
And Gotmadskillz is 100% right on the tuner issue. They made a big deal about the ability to push out gameplay improvements quickly and frequently and thus far that ability has largely gone to waste.
This is 100% like last years timeline as far as doing anything to help fix game issues.
The big question is..........
Will you guys remember this when the hype machine starts up again for 2013?
To add to Skillz's post, remember when they hyped up using the Tuner process for the Demo?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but after promoting how they were going to improve the retail by using our feedback from the Demo, they dropped "0" Tuners after the community voiced concerns about the Demo.
We have to also realize that most folks that get to play early builds etc.. are utilized as part of the salemanship process.
Nothing against them personally, but that is just how EA is uses them to get to us.
After this years mess and how they've treated the gaming community after folks made the purchased, people better hold off on any excitement until they get their hands on a "RENTED" retail version and test and see for themselves.
I can only be made at myself, because I bought into the Tuner utilization also
They're only addressing this one issue with the 3rd patch? Are you serious EA Sports? Rushed out? Oh my gosh & Holy Cow! I can't believe this! They're gonna release a 3rd patch to address the no huddle issue only? There's far more things still wrong with the game than the no huddle bug. What are they thinking now?
I might get back into this game around November....NBA 2k12 is about to enter my household in 3 hours and counting
I'm a basketball junkie 1st.....
They had 3 months of free time to get this game right before the NBA game came out.
I'm bout to start getting ready for B-Ball sliders not going to waiste my time on NCAA 12 at this moment. Hopefully in November i'll get excited over the game again and enjoy it....
I resisted the urge to trade it in because i'm hoping eventually things will workout down the road
Maybe this means I can play the game if nothing else in play now mode and it only took what 3 or so months nice to have a playable game out of the box isn't it
