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

I am not trying to be a jerk, either. But the "whoa is me" attitude here is getting beyond old.

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but it's "woe is me." There are plenty of other forums on OS, feel free to browse them whenever you'd like.

How are people "buying the game early?" They are buying it on release date. Why should we "wait" for major features to become playable before enjoying the game? This isn't lack of dreads or field degradation or whatever. The game freezes, constantly. Online/offline dynasties, Play Now, etc. Add to the transfer fails in Online Dynasty and why should the consumer wait to enjoy the product and the features that the developer touts, just because the developer can't get their **** together?

If this was a new feature, I might be able to understand a little more. But this feature has worked by-and-large perfectly fine for the past two years and now is completely broken at the moment.

You're right.

Calm down. He has a right to express his opinion. Same goes with you. As long as he isn't trolling its fine.

I'm wondering if the additions to the patch only have to do with stability issues or if other aspects of the game were cleaned up as well.

This is great news. I am already enjoying the game immensely. So this will tighten things up, fix the roster bug (and I will start my dynasty all over and create half a dozen of my prized recruits to go after again...and land!). I don't mind starting over....that is how much fun I have had with this game. For me NCAA 12 is a minimum 2 year cycle keeper for me. Madden 12 will be the same.


I have read so many complaints about the freezing bugs. I did not realize how bad it has been for so many OS'ers. Like I have posted, I have had the game freeze on me in my dynasty hub 4 times total. I have never had a game freeze during an actual game. So I can really understand the game being unplayable due to that freezing issue. I have been very fortunate in that regard.

No doubt the stability issues are being addressed on this big patch. Knowing this will probably be the last patch for this title I am glad EA is taking the extra time it needed to make sure it covered major warts.

Of course we all hope it does not trigger something else....and I hope some live tuners can address some gameplay flaws on defense (safety play) which may not have been addressed with this patch and of which have been well documented here in the community. I would love to throw out my house rule of going deep once per quarter ( it has worked out well as I have not hit that deep pass 100%).

Anyway.....good times ahead for NCAA 12.

If this patch turns out to be a bust, or make matters worse I will stay far far away from this forum bc the constant negativity that will erupt will make me hate the game even more. I'll try to maintain my sanity and tolerance if this happens.

I'm assuming by early he means around the release date instead of waiting like so many people claim they will do.

And on the tuners, they are patching it before a tuner comes out, and I rather have it that way. Imagine if they tuned something then the patch broke it. Forums would be filled.

LMAO. A FEW stability issues? More likes hundreds

Haha.. OH SNAP!

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

While I'm disappointed that it's taken this long to see a patch finally released, I'm okay with it as long as it addresses all the major issues with the game (tendencies, OD problems, freezing, etc.).

However, there is ZERO excuse why we've yet to see a tuner pack. Wasn't this highly touted so they could update gameplay tweaks without patch submission? It's been a joke for two years running. What's the point of even having tuner packs if they'll just wait until the patch drops anyway?

They were not going to release a tuner pack with the game as buggy as it is. If they did, there would be the possibility of the patch messing up everything that was addressed by the tuner pack, so EA would have to do the tuner pack all over again.

I'm sure that they'd rather get everything fixed A.S.A.P. so they can move on to making NCAA 13. Releasing a tuner pack prior to the patch could've proven counter-productive in that regard.

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

People are upset because this is probably the last patch for a game that needs multiple patches. Additional patches will begin cutting into the next work cycle for NCAA 13. Oddly, I've had EA terms of service notice show up twice the last two times I've played the game. Both times, the game froze up on me in mid-play. Very little about this game works as advertised. Team Builder, Stadium Sounds, Dynasty Mode... Coach mode in the practice dome sorta exemplifies how features get implemented without forethought.

Give me a break, you are going by some of the ridiculous reviews by some of these gaming sites. Have you even read them, they are straight nonsense.

No, I'm comparing the general consensus of two games, one of which I have played and is severely flawed. Despite this, the other has been received even less favorably.

I just popped in my NCAA and downloaded some type of update....can't be the patch can it?

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

Most likely it's either the first patch or it's the online policy update. I can check in a second though to see if I get anything.

I just took Madden out and tried NCAA....no patch.
