The upgrade is complete, but you've probably noticed the forums are only showing posts up to about April 8. Posts made after that are still in the process of being moved over, and that should take another week or two. Feel free to start a new thread.
The site might feel a little slow while work continues. Engineers are staying on it through the night to get things moving faster again. Thanks for your patience.
NCAA Football 12 Reviewer Impressions: Online Play
Christian McLeod checks in during day three of his review process to talk about his experiences with the online play found in NCAA Football 12. Hit the link below to read the impressions.
I won't ask for Christmas or birthday gifts if you subscribe to the Operation Sports Newsletter (Not Just Another Roster Update). I write it, and it hits your inbox every Friday morning (for freeeeeee).
When I clicked the link I was hoping to read a writeup of playing random play now games and just complaining about how annoying it is to play random people.
Every single time I've played online I run into lag (mostly during kicks) that ruins the entire experience for me. Is the online gameplay experience riddled with lagging or is it smooth?

I think it depends largely on the connection of you, and the person you are playing. I personally have not run into any issues in the games I've played with buddies.

I am surprised that this doesn't mention the fact that users can't control weather or game start times at all for PLAY NOW online matches. This might not be so bad if every online game wasn't a noon game that is sunny. why cant we have weather and different start times at least be randomized if they are not going to allow us to set it up for ourselves?
I also wish that who is the home team would be randomized as well, I don't like always being the away team when someone challenges me. Please make this random!
Another idea I'd like to see is unranked records. Yes I understand that if you want wins or losses you can play ranked games. But why not still track your record in unranked games but just not have it do anything for the leader board (which I could care less about)?
Oh and I want user stats back please! Make it so you can look folks up online on EAs site and see them there, like you could in the PS2 days. That way I can look up random guys in the lobby on my laptop without challenging them.
And lastly, please get an option for challenging friends directly to either ranked or unranked online games. We should not have to join a lobby room to play a buddy.

Tried this yesterday and it still works. Only negative is you have to be the home team all the time or tell your buddy how to do it.
1) Go to "play now" Advance to the next screen( Should be the stadium part).
2) I think there is 2 ways to do it but they both work Alright. Go down to where u see " Live Channel Feed" or whatever. It'll ask u if u want the real weather or custom. Flip through both of them. OR u can just go 2 the stadium screen then exit out.( I juss flip through both of them 2 make sure i get live weather) Then exit out the screen.
3) Go to online.
4) Then go to "Create custom match" (Keep in mind, it ONLY WORKS IF YOUR THE HOME TEAM!!!( Thats y u go 2 create custom match b/c ur always the home team.
4) Once an oppenent comes and u start u SHOULD see live weather.
Sidenote: Im not sure if it resets the live weather if ur oppenent leaves. ( Like ur the home team n he leaves n u get

we need this espn broadcast camera view on the game and make it playable. this looks real ! can they send a patch and add this cpu vs cpu camera view to play on, we need more camera views!!!!!!!
somebody talk to the people at EA and get this broadcast camera in the game to play! they put everything on presentation, but didnt add the ESPN broadcast camera view in for nthose users who only play agaist the computer. CMON EA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the online dynasty mode but I am not worried about playing in ranked matches. I might have too kick out a guy out of my online league but if you want in hit me up on xbox live, GT knighthawksfan We advance every two days or earlier if people get there games done fast.

yeah man, I did try this and it does work, it's a great find! I do wish we could set our own weather though in addition to using the weather channel feed. I always play at night which means I'm always going to have a night game if I use this feature and if I don't I'm stuck with sunny and no weather.
