NCAA Football 12 Title Update #2 - Waiting on Approval From Microsoft and Sony

Re: NCAA Football 12 Title Update #2 - Waiting on Approval From Microsoft and Sony

Pick any page or two of this 70+ page topic and read it, there's very little for a developer (or anyone from EA for that matter) to need to keep up with. I have a 9 week old son at home, what I've read is not unlike his crying for food, and as soon as that bottle is in his mouth all is right in the world.

I guess we should all post random incorrect things since there is apparently the expectation that EA will chime in to correct you.

Okay... we have lack of comprehension skills and now you have proven that your memory isn't very good either... I will cut you some slack since you have a 9-week old. Congrats on the newborn, by the way. Back to the point... someone posted a new thread that said something like: Patch To Drop September 7

I think he originally typed November 7 but a mod changed it to September.

So no, EA would not have had to scour through X number of pages to find this little nugget... it was an entirely new thread that was on page one for a number of days.

And it would have been so very easy to post in there immediately and say, "This is false." But they didn't.

Did your son pay $60 for that bottle only to find out it didn't work? Did the makers of that bottle then promise your son that it would be fixed by the end of August, only to find out on the very last day of August that it would be any longer. We are consumer of a product, a very bad product from a company that makes millions off of us we have every right to be pissed off and for most people sounding off in forums is the best way to do it. Not to mention it is one of the most effective ways, If I just stumbled onto this page when I was considering buying NCAA 12, I might have saved myself $60, Of course then I wouldn't have that nifty coaster with a picture of Mark Ingram on the front of it.

As you illustrated, metaphors only go so far before they're ridiculous. I am all for being upset, I only object to the gross over exaggerations such as your coaster example. If I stumbled into this thread I'd have to poke around and to find one that had actual information in it to see if it would affect me, there's little to help guide a purchase decision here.

Sadly that is not a "gross over exaggeration" , the game has sat on my coffee table since the first week it came out. I am not one of the "fanboys" either who just blasts EA at every chance they get, I love the NCAA games.

I for one did not take your analogy too far, but you left yourself wide open lol, but with that said I do stand on your side of the fence. However It's getting to the point where it just makes no sense buying these games at launch. In this case even waiting almost two months after release would be a bad move for the avg consumer. We're not talking about field texture issues or gray sleeves or silly problems from past games. We are talking about a freeze bug that kills dynasties faster than the SMU death penalty. Totally unacceptable and for the record I have been very patient and understanding. The gameplay is great and I love the new tackling system, but how many Play Now games can I take before I get bored? Some ppl just got to that point much sooner than I did, so I understand their frustration.

haha I enjoyed your SMU comment, sadly anyone born after 1990 probably wont get that reference. But you hit the nail on the head, the biggest issue is the same people who come onto these boards to complain (myself included) are the same people who line up at Gamestop the day of release to buy this game on the first day. And that's all EA cares about is their opening week sales. That is where video game companies make the most of their money. And until the masses stop you will see more or less the same every year.

Some time in late July 2012, this will be the announcement, "We are working on a second patch for NCAA Football 13. We can't say with any specificity when it will be released. After the patch passes through Sony/Microsoft certification and is uploaded, we will put out a list of what was patched and tuned."

No matter how much crying there is message boards, it would be foolish them to say anything else but this.

Hopefully anyone expecting a policy of Glasnost, will have refrained from purchasing the game at that point.

EA does say that, "Our mission is to deliver the world's best customer experience for the world's best games."

If you're going to say that, people are going to expect... something.

Anyone else losing interest in NCAA due to the patch delay and Madden being out?

I'm losing interest in buying madden due to the patch delay and NCAA being out.

Does that count?

If anything reading more and more about NBA 2K12 is draining my interest in both games that and waiting for this patch and there not even being any patch talk for Madden yet so gotta wait for that too.

Screw waiting for this game anymore. Its just not even worth it at this point.

Losing interest in NCAA? To a degree yes.

Because of Madden? No. From what I've heard, that game is just as buggy.

Nice to know they had the time to update the ESPNU Game of the Week Challenge.

Re: NCAA Football 12 Title Update #2 - Waiting on Approval From Microsoft and Sony

And therein lies the problem... not one single response from EA on this entire situation. When the guy posted that he spoke to EA's customer service and was told 7 September as the day the patch {blanket/quilt} would be released, then why the hell didn't someone from EA come on here and say, "Sorry guys, that's not true."

Instead... we get absolutely NOTHING!

Because people overestimate what these boards do. Honestly your going to see the devs around here around February until about June, then the week of the release then they won't be back. Not to mention, people forget EA devs are working. When they have a flame on their *** are they going to be going on message boards when their bosses could very easily be pushing through that they NEED to complete the patch, or section and have it out?

And at the other poster:
Also EA said they were aiming at a release at the end of August, obviously those words ended up biting Haumiller in his ***.

Member when u never had to worry about patches for video games because they made the game playable out of the case? Good times...
