Staff Roundtable: How Are We Feeling About NCAA Football 12 Now?

[ChaseB]

It should come as no surprise that the community has found some issues with the game -- I really do feel like the folks here really are the best testers money can buy, even if that is not really what they set out to do -- and it has begun to split the community a bit.

That being said, I wanted to ask some of our writers how they were feeling about NCAA Football 12 at this point. Even knowing about some of the bugs and issues we know about now, how are they liking the game and the experience it is bringing to the table.

After seeing the roster glitch thread along with my experiences with receivers and DB's not "jockeying" for the ball....I've become more and more disappointed with this game and disappointed with EA's effort.

Even though I commend EA for putting out a decent game, I still wish I would've rented it first instead of dropping $60 bones.

In all honesty... I enjoy it alot more if I dont go online to forums and read about every little detail and problem with the game.. But after I do, I feel like not playing it. But if I dont read all the forums, then I love the game.

I really enjoy this game. Yes, a couple of minor bugs, but they are not anything major.

I think the game is still fine. All of the hiccups are expected at this point. Games these days have so much in them, as opposed to the old days where it was limited, so it was easy to find glitches and get them out of there before release.

Not everbody has run into these freezes. I think the level of bugs is unacceptable! But QA can't catch everything and IF they can fix this without messing up other parts this could be an all time great.

Not happy at all! Named rosters are a must for me. The recently found bug with this area & they lack of a response from EA Sports is troubling. We should have an answer as to how this will work from a patch by now.

There's been tons of time spent on roster work. If this goes all for null, my game is going back for a return. It's as simple as that! This is the most important feature of the game for me! Having real NAMED ROSTERS is a big deal & and the bug to do with this is totally unacceptable!

To me some of those reviews sound like EA people talking, there are problems with this game but I think some people don't see them or just ignore them.. just my opinion

The new features in dynasty are virtually useless.
What's the point of even adding any of these features when they are BROKEN?!?

I feel like I'm testing a game in the alpha stage to be honest.

I can't stop playing it.

Don't get me wrong, I'm infuriated with all these problems. It's ridiculous. But I still can't stop playing it.

Pretty much my exact thoughts

Re: Staff Roundtable: How Are We Feeling About NCAA Football 12 Now?

I rented the game and I'm super glad I didn't buy it. There's no sense in buying a game only to become a tester. I'm strictly an offline dynasty player. The new additions to dynasty mode are cool and all......if they work. Also, its hard to get immersed in your dynasty when all games virtually feel the same.

Don't companies usually PAY people to test their products instead of people paying the companies to test the company's products?

Just another solid game and a step closer to the ideal game from last year. The AI still needs work. Bugs which I guess we just have to accept in sports titles from here on out.

On a personal note I'm strongly disappointed you can't use named roster with RTG. How F'n hard is it to allow us to use our own rosters? Also progression is completely out of whack, having to play 5mins quarters(sometimes I wonder what goes through the dev teams mind) which sucks. Oh yeah and the play calling still leaves a lot to be desired.

[SGMRock]

The roster thing is annoying as well as some bugs with offensive and defensive coordinator modes in Dynasty, but instead of playing Dynasty and dealing with them I decided to just play RTG until they fix them.
