NCAA Football 12 Roster Glitch Confirmed, Patch to Address Concerns

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

Ok well you were not a 100% clear on that because the subject you quoted me on was on recruits changing.

Yea, I should have bolded the part where you mentioned it was random because you didn't see pocket passers change. Recruits may be affected. I have not tested myself or looked for it.

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

Wait, so let's say you start a fresh dynasty with either unnamed rosters or auto-generated rosters--you're saying that in that dynasty, when you recruit players, their tendencies change after they're added to the team by the game?

That would mean that recruiting is busted all on its own. Am I reading your post wrong, or is this correct?

No, I recruited some guys and never edited them. They were changed before I touched them. The case in point were two WRs who were recruited as speed WRs but when they were on my roster they were listed as balance.

As for someone who asked for proof, I don't know how to get pictures off of there and put them on here. I've got no reason to lie. I was stunned too. But I keep track of my recruiting in an excel file so I noticed it as I was looking at my roster.

BTW, this is 3 years into a dynasty with named rosters to begin it.

I read about 20 pages then skipped to the end :P ya its rather long.

Ok then so people have already confirmed its happening to recruited players thats good, i'm not out of my mind. I'm going to test it anyway and take pictures to make aarontab happy

been done if you read my post history, I went in and edited over 90 percent of the QBs in the game to their proper tendency which works out fine in the game. They will scramble. But sim stats are off. The original named roster with the messed up roster produced better sim stats. I posted Pics.

I think you were the first person i saw mention this because i remember you mentioning the spreadsheet. As long as you're not saying "i heard this affects recruits!!!!!" with nothing else to back it up, that's good enough for me. It's not 100% of the time, but it happens. There it is.

Saw those pics. I meant proof of recruits coming in with different tendencies than what you recruited them as having. I think we've established that there is an issue with tendencies, i just hadnt seen confirmation on unedited recruits being glitched.

so if you have named rosters and you use them in online play they should still be fine right? bc the online rosters are the defaults still, just the names show up?

Such a glaring glitch in the game should be patched.. uh.. now.

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

The only good thing is these players will only be a round for four years and I'm already in my 7th season of Dynasty. Still sucks though. Does this mean that they are going to have to redo the named rosters. Or will the patch work with existing files?

If the programmers' bosses at EA dont mind (or encourage it) and the game sells millions, they are technically succeeding at what their job is. If you made a broken website that made millions, you wouldn't consider it a failure, i promise you.

I guess the difference is I have pride in my work. I look at each project as a direct reflection on me so no matter if it's a $500 website or a $40,000 website that my company sells I take my time and make sure it's done right.

I know EA is a major money maker but it just seems that attention to detail is lacking in their QA department. It has been for some time.

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

yes I asked about this finding on "Community Roster release day" and it was largely ignored... One thing I DID notice though was the First 360 roster released, did not appear to have changed the settings from the few checks I made on it.

anyone else want to check? I believe it was the same as Pasts Padre's

maybe wishful thinking

Moral of the story:

"Always wait a minimum of two weeks before buying any EA football game so you can determine how may warts get exposed."

one way to find out, assuming it shows tendency on the depth chart online.

Ok here goes. I started a new Dynasty be deleting all rosters I had in the roster delete/load screen (I have 360 btw) then I went to console and restarted the game. Started a dynasty with the autogenerate names thing. I picked Michigan as my team. Checked the roster to make sure it was default, #16 QB still scrambler as he should be Center #50 still pass blocker and so on. Was definately the default with random names.

I then set all the recruiting stuff to auto and simulated the whole first season and all the way through recruiting in the preseason part. Once I got all the way to Signing Day and I took screenshots of like 20 players that were hard commits to Michigan. I then advanced through the next stages and checked them. I advanced all the way to the Cut Players part, went in and checked them at that stage. They ALL still had the SAME tendancies they had on the recruiting board on signing day at this point!

So I advanced past the cut players part and then past the custom conference and schedule part to Week 1. I then went into the Edit Rosters section to check all the players again. A large number of them had changed. Its easier for me to say the ones that didn't, 2 possession recievers I had were still possession. But QB was changes to scrambler from balanced and a bunch of others. I stuck in some screenshots so you can see.

I have more but here is QB and HB changing. Oh and just to verify I only went into Edit Roster to view them I didn't press A at anytime to even open their edit menu. So these changes all on their own without me doing anything to them in edit. They still showed the right thing on the Cut Player roster but were different on Week 1 roster so there you go, proven. :P

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

Man...I don't play for a couple days and don't visit the site and I come back to this?

So all the work those guys did building rosters is for not and somebody is going to have to redo them?

What a waste of their valuable time. EA should give these guys a few hundred bucks for their troubles. I think this probably runs deeper than we all know too. There's probably a lot of other stuff that is affected by this glitch. I'm betting the patch won't be released for weeks.
