NCAA Football 11 Patch To Be Released Tomorrow (Release Day)

Re: NCAA Football 11 Patch To Be Released on Release Date, Tomorrow

It sucks but if you're not able to at least temporarily access online then you're going to have to expect issues to crop up in games right out of the box and, in my opinion, start figuring out how you can get your console online, at least temporarily. Bugs have been around as long as video games have been programmed.

Thankfully in this day and age we have online connectivity to be able to address bugs, unlike in the years past when one was just screwed by them. Whose fault is it if people choose to ignore, or are unable to, take advantage of that aspect of today's technology?

I don't like bugs anymore than anyone else but personally I think it's pretty silly that not only do people expect game companies to program perfect games but then they expect when they don't that somehow they should be able to figure out how to get a fix to you when you're not online like the majority of other gamers in this day and age are.

So in my opinion, bottom line, is that you should get your console/PC's online if you plan on playing games or quit complaining.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Patch To Be Released on Release Date, Tomorrow

Now I can see it being a possible issue depending on the answers to these questions...... How many games EG? You say everytime it's a safety??? Where has the line of scrimmage been on these plays?

Can you not get to him before he gets back that far..

3 times in about 15 games.

The QB is fast as hell when he takes off, and all 3 times have been inside their 25 yard line, so I have come no where near catching him.

I can give you my links later if you like, or just hit EASportsWorld and search for ExtremeGamer, they are there. I've also posted them here somewhere, but it would be in my post history.

So I'm not online. I'm old school and just buy the game and play it. So basically what this is saying to all the offline players is, sorry, you're screwed? The game is flawed right out of the box? Awesome.

You don't have internet at home?

Because Rynoaid controlled Texas A&M against a CPU controlled Oklahoma.

Once again, the CPU can't do either of those.

If it happens to the cpu I will:

1) Laugh my as$ off

2) Take a safety on the following kickoff and give the ball back to the cpu.

Fixed...

I bet it gets fixed, though, just my gut feeling.

edit: I see ODogg already suggested this...my bad.

Exactly. Games have had issues like this since the beginning. It's nice to be able to have the ability to fix these now.

Hey EG, saw you got it early, we should have gotten some games in over the weekend. My g/f said after 12 games though I had to quit playing and watch Buffy instead

Yep... I still haven't seen a video of it... Can't see at work but trying something else...

Don't know why but that is funny to me... Wonder what triggers it?

Also can you see if it happens with player lock on the QB (or another player for that matter)

Re: NCAA Football 11 Patch To Be Released on Release Date, Tomorrow

Tuned CPU screen passes so they will get rid of the ball faster, resulting in less sacks.

I wonder how this will play out. Hopefully they won't just blindly throw the ball if the screen gets snuffed out. I still would like the intentional grounding button to be aimed at the players feet in this scenario.

Re: NCAA Football 11 Patch To Be Released on Release Date, Tomorrow

I want to say one more thing before anyone rips my head off..correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't EA just like 2k sports have only so many patches for free via MS and Sony? I believe it's 3.

Patch #1: Already here and issue isn't fixed.

Patch #2: Normally the mods or devs make a thread and ask the community for bug/glitch feedback. Millenium has already done this. The devs compile the list and start to work on all the fixes. Normally this is a 2-4 week process.

Correct? Which means that this issue may be atleast 2 weeks away from being fixed unless they do some kind of fast hotfix. Not saying we can't do the workarounds you guys mentioned. Just saying it's a little annoying is all.

Carry on... :P

it's that specific play. I think it always does it. there may be a few others, but I think most PA plays are fine.

LOL....now that is the definition of a broken play.

I was gonna ask about the first post..is that 50 yard gain by the QB thing the "walk glitch" that I've heard people talk about? Glad that's getting patched by the sound of it - that seems even worse than this one, at least for multiplayer play.

At least it can get fixed. I never got any patches in my Intellivision/Atari days
