NCAA Football 12 Roster Glitch Confirmed, Patch to Address Concerns

Re: NCAA Football 12 Roster Glitch Confirmed, Patch to Address Concerns

So if I start a dynasy with default roster and use auto naming I won't have any problems at all ? What about recruits each year and there no problems with them either using default rosters ?

What about if I just name coaches will that cause problems ?

From glancing over the thread, it seems like using the games default rosters with random names works fine. As for naming coaches, it shouldn't mess with the players other than the scheme run.

So does this glitch actually change the attributes of the players? I have been away from the forum the last couple of days, so I am just seeing this thread for the first time. From what I gather the tendencies of players are being changed, does that also change the ratings because I thought the ratings were ultimately what dictated the way a player will behave on the field and their sim stats?

It would really be terrible if the roster makers had to possibly redo all their work, especially the community ones since there have been so changes made for teams already. Was about to start my dynasty sometime soon, guess I will have to wait a while longer. No way I would use non-named rosters or any rosters besides the community one at this point.

Tendencies only are changing. The tendencies based on opinion are either a big deal or a minor one. The crux is where that is for you. For me, frankly other areas would be a bigger deal. For others, its a game breaker.

attributes won't change, but the tendency controls the decision making or behavior which will cause players not to play to their strength when the ratings dont match up with what the tendency should be.

Wow. I am still enjoying my game big time, but this is very concerning. I am just going to roll with Buckeyes roster and when they patch it I will start up another one when a new named roster is released.

So basically Buckeye and Gators rosters will have to be completely renamed to work post patch?


A huge wow. EA made a huge boo boo.

But at least they are owning up to it and they are going to fix it.

Meantime guys.....play the game. It is still is a ton of fun.

Our time is short on this planet. Enjoy yourselves.

Life could be a lot worse.

Ok thanks for the clarification, defiantly won't be starting a dynasty until this is patched in that case.

Re: NCAA Football 12 Roster Glitch Confirmed, Patch to Address Concerns

I was wondering why the first few games I played seemed so much different (and better) than the ones I played after I downloaded rosters.

Re: NCAA Football 12 Roster Glitch Confirmed, Patch to Address Concerns

Would love confirmation in regards to if rosters need to be completely redone. I really hope not.

Over a weeks worth of editing equipment down the drain... le sigh.

Re: NCAA Football 12 Roster Glitch Confirmed, Patch to Address Concerns

Sorry if this has been asked, but say I use gator and buckeye's roster, will this only affect the edited players? Will any incoming recruits be affected going forward?

It looks like changed the strength settings for guys who were flipped changes them back to what they should be. I think going back and editing strength settings for all the affected guys would work so only they need re-edited instead of starting over completely.

Not sure if this has been discussed, but wouldn't this bug effect all the slider makers as well. I mean if they were tuning the sliders based on named rosters, wouldn't there a huge difference if they used unnamed ones?

Re: NCAA Football 12 Roster Glitch Confirmed, Patch to Address Concerns

Ok, I spent the majority of my night playing the game with unnamed rosters on default AA and the difference in gameplay is like night and day IMO. After playing my review copy for roughly 2 weeks before I downloaded the named rosters, I have been noticing something "off" regarding gameplay that I couldn't quite put my finger on. I simply chalked the different feel of the game up to slider tweaks I had made post named rosters. Specific issues I was noticing post named download that I did not see in my review time with the game were as follows:

-Scrambling QB's like Michigan #16 would sit in the pocket under pressure, ignore open lanes, and wait to be sacked
-CPU and Human linebackers were jumping to make ridiculous one handed INT's, and swats
-Special teams blocking for both user and CPU seemed poor
-CPU small "speed" backs were lowering the boom on my lineman and LB's
-User safeties could pick off the deep ball at will utilizing the over the shoulder catch
-It seemed as if every hit the CPU would put on my player would be a hit stick smash--gone was the tackle variety I was seeing pre roster (perhaps due to more player's being classified "hard hitters"?)

Erased named rosters, played roughly 6 games on default All American last night, and like magic the game plays like it did during my review process. It's hard to explain exactly what I was seeing, with the best description being that the CPU simply played a smarter, more realistic game.

-If a CPU QB was listed as a scrambler they would scramble at every opportunity, making split second decisions on whether or not to run from the pocket (See attached DRob video). This made playing against Michigan, Miami, and default roster Ohio State a blast--kept me on my toes.

- Linebackers no longer had 48" vertical leaps
- Special teams play had opened up. The CPU was able to break off some solid returns and I was able to do the same.
-Speed backs no longer lower the boom--the touted momentum tackling contact system looks to be back in place--if a big player hits a speed back they will react accordingly if they can not juke out of the tackle.
-User safeties were no longer able to maneuver behind CPU WR's to make the auto pick. Also this may be placebo but it seemed like DB's with their back turned toward a receiver could also no longer initiate an automatic jumping pick attempt by pressing the "Y" button. Awareness seemed to be tied to the player being able to see the ball--no more eyes in the back of their head.
-The variety of multiple hit tackle animations and broken tackle animations was greatly increased

I HIGHLY recommend deleting the rosters and waiting for the patch if you have been frustrated by any of the above issues. Very happy this issue was brought to my attention. As I said the game has felt off to me the past week, and I never thought to correlate that to the downloading of new rosters.

There has to be some issue with certain tendencies, coupled with certain players ratings, making them play a certain style that is flawed. Whether it be blocking, tackling, scrambling, route running, coverage, and INT's, the overall game simply does not play as smart as it did pre rosters.

Re: NCAA Football 12 Roster Glitch Confirmed, Patch to Address Concerns

I'm glad you're seeing a difference, Bumble. For the life of me, I couldn't understand how I completed 75% of my passes on my first two games on All-American, and then 40-50% every game after that. I knew something was screwy with the gameplay.

Bumble is there any way you can get us an ETA on this patch?
