NCAA Football 12 Roster Glitch Confirmed, Patch to Address Concerns

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

I'm playing a game right now, CPU is Army, and the QB is scrambling against me just fine. On designated QB scrambles, and when he has no one open, he scrambles. I'm still not seeing any of this glitch.

And I'm using the latest July 23rd OS roster updates.

Ignorance is bliss....to some degree. I really knew something was up with I played Michigan and Denard scrambled once the entire game.

I should have known better than to get my hopes up and buy this game on release day. I have no doubt the folks at EA will patch this up nicely, but I don't want to wait til mid August for that to happen.

What I still don't get (and I've mentioned it before) is why this is a problem now? I'm pretty sure they are using the same code as they have in the past for this and what could have messed it up? If they didn't change anything this makes no sense.

Denard vs me offline just now had 16 rushing attempts for 95 yards. i was using the latest OS Community update.

Was he taking off on his own or where they designed runs. Which sliders where you using?

This right here. When in the history of NCAA has a patch destroyed named/edited rosters? I can't think of any.

I'm using the community rosters, as well. I just checked in my Washington St. OD and through 9 weeks CPU Denard is averaging 84 yards a game rushing. He was actually the Big Ten Player of the Week in Week's 1 and 9. In week 1 versus Western Michigan his stat line was 21-31, 275 yards, 10 carries for 80 yards, 5 TDs. In Week 9 versus Purdue, 15-30, 277 yards, 21 carries for 95 yards, 4 Total TDs.

I don't think this is the "stop playing NCAA 12 now"/ "return your broken game"/ "the sky is falling" type bug that many are making it out to be.

Sorry if this has been answered already, but does the glitch happen if you simply edit a player's equipment or appearance? I'm playing with auto-named rosters and don't want to screw things up if I edit a guy's facemask.

Yes, it does. Whether the sim stats are affected however, seems to be kinda random based on results I've seen. Look at the above posts.

Maybe a couple reasons for this?

1) The "tendency" save location that is used for CPU sim results could be different than what gets used when a user plays in a game (playing as or against a player). I think on the "high level" view the tendency shows one thing, but when you go to edit a player, its listed differenty. Could be discrepancies there.

2) This issue may not be impacting everyone...maybe you were spared? Who knows, lots of variance here.


By all means, keep playing your game though. Each individual measures the value of a product differently. If you are having fun, then thats all that matters!

Thanks for the prompt response. I guess I'll keep my QB's ugly facemask, sigh.

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

im pretty sure its already been stated that sim stats are not adversely affected. like herky said, are we talking designed runs or scrambles.

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

Wasn't there a issue in Madden a few years back where if you edited someone they wouldn't progress?

I think that was fixed without edited rosters having to be started over.

Just thinking out loud here and I know Madden isn't NCAA but I'm pretty sure that was fixed OK.

Scrambles. And these people that say there is no glitch, there's a reason why EA confirmed the bug!

I think the glitchis how the tendency are showing up on the main roster page. I think problem is there's not enought design run plays in these spread playbooks..

What sliders are you using? Or did the latest community roster update tweak DRob's ratings slightly to turn him into a balanced QB, aka scrambler due to bug?

I have found that you can get pretty much any QB to scramble regardless of tendency by playing with the right pass rush + CPU pass block + user pass coverage and run D sliders. The right slider mix coupled with a players ratings will result in scrambles.

As I said, before I noticed this bug I was getting some decent results with both the OS community and FK's rosters. There is a noticeable difference with the aggressiveness of the scramble and number of scrambles when you play with numbered rosters.

I said it from the start, playing with named rosters does not destroy this gameplay as some are trying to make you believe. Personally I prefer gameplay with numbered rosters on default AA, but I'm not sure if this bug would stop me from playing a named dynasty if I was already multiple years in.

Enjoy the many good things this game brings to the table and I'm sure this monstrous thread will be forgotten by the start of the actual college football season since the issue will be patched.
