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.

That's the part that ticks me off something serious. Not only waiting for FK to do his hard work, but also all the equipment editing I did. Changing so many players' socks to mid, changing visors, dreads, etc.

I'm hoping this is an easy and fast fix....

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

Do we know if the game is affected after 3 or 4 seasons with the new computer generated classes coming in? Or does the name rosters mess up the whole game even if we simmed/played 4+ seasons already?

As a huge 2k fan ( For all sports) Those games have many bugs too, but I will say they are quicker to catch things over there. That said.. Even with the bugs. This game is not bad at all..

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

well hell, what to do, what to do.

had pretty well cleared my friday night to kick in game 3 of my dynasty, and now i don't know what to do......

so let me get this straight:

-the issue was confirmed, today or yesterday that this was a bug
-we have no time frame on a fix
-no clue if the current roster file we are using will be affected by the patch
-roster makes may in fact have to take a newly created roster file and start from scratch
-a patch could take weeks + to create
-xbox takes what 3 weeks to validate a patch

what's everyones plan going forward?

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

There is some small hope IMO that the rosters may be salvaged due to the following: When you open up Denards player editing menus, he is listed as a scrambler there. So maybe they can patch or tune the game to where the ratings menu and roster menu show whats in the player editing menu...which is still correct when looking at players during edits.

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

Can we get word from EA on the upcoming patch and needing fresh post-patch roster files or if it will fix current ones????

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

Deal with no names til the patch or trade it in..


Some of you sound like the guys who's wife cheats and you take her back. Yet, she cheats again and again.. You knew the deal before you took her back ( The GF here is EA

Heres the thing with EA. All games have issues upon release. Good thing is that they can usually be patched. No issue. The NCAA series always has had some major issues.

Problem with the NCAA series is that a lot of the same things are broken year after year. The same issue shouldnt have to be patched more than once.

Where are the posts/links where EA has acknowledged this issue??

The online gaming gen is to blame. Why do a lot of testing when you can patch issues later after the customer has bascially tested it for you and paying to do it. Someone in this thread hit the nail on the head when they said that the consumer is basically signing up to work for EA when they purchase the game.

This issue I can understand not being caught during testing. But there are some issues that wouldnt make it past 20 minutes of testing and leave you shaking your head.

Looks like I'll start a dynasty with my beloved seminoles using computer generated names. Whenever EA gets this sorted I'll download the roster and probably start another dynasty with a different school. The difference in gameplay thoug with the default rosters is almost unbelievable. Arizona actually executed well timed half back screens and even popped one for a touchdown.

I'm wondering the exact same thing. I might be willing to start one of my dynasties if I knew the recruits would be ok going forward.

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.

thank you

Been saying this for the past week now and people thought I was crazy & didn't know what I was talking about.

Great Question.

If it is fine after 4 seasons, then I will press onward with my Dynasty.

SIDE NOTE: Haven't read through all 60 pages of this, but does this glitch occur only when you change a players name or does it also happen when you alter anything else about said layer (IE: change his appearance, jersey #, equipment)

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

Well this is flat out GARBAGE!!! Fight Night Champion releases with freezes and other freezing issues due to online gyms. Now NCAA 12 is released and it is the same thing, ANOTHER poorly tested EA product.

I don't think any of us can correctly convey the level of disappoint I have with EA on the testing of their products. QUIT RUSHING TITLES TO MAKE DEADLINES!!! PERIOD!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

So what is everyone's gameplan on how to handle the next month or more?

We are all kinda of in limbo with no word if we must delete our dynasties, delete our rosters, and just sit and twiddle our thumbs.

So we all paid 60 bucks for a game to play dynasty and progress our teams through coaching, recruiting, etc. But we are all stuck waiting!!!

Then to make matters worse, EA removed EA Sports World spots to upload and want us to now pay for the added spots which we once had. I am SICK of the nickle and dime while we have to deal with these kinda of issues. EA should take care of their customers and offer some kinda of THANK YOU for supporting us while we continue to screw up.

Man I am ranting now, but it is like a broken record with EA. So tired of paying money upfront to beta test a product for these companies because they are to cheap and in to much of a hurry to do correct testing on their own time and money.
