NCAA Football 12 Roster Glitch Confirmed, Patch to Address Concerns

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

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.

I'm sure I'll get heat for this because you're work for OS but just forgetting this ever happened and moving on is not an acceptable answer. Having an attitude like that is what causes this crap year in and year out. It's not acceptable. We have one choice for football and every year EA manages to screw it up. It takes them years to actually innovate anything in this game and that only happens when we continually demand it every year. And then when they do try to innovate they generally screw up the game.

I didn't forget the progression bug last year. I won't forget this whole thing. Next year I'm waiting to buy this game a lot longer if I buy it at all...

I will be on my NCAA early hunt as usual, I'm having a blast with this game, warts and all...

So rent the game next year, each person votes with their wallet. Chase or anyone else around here has probably played enough EA football to know what they are getting every year.

Re: Possible roster glitch

i can't believe this. here i am getting mad at this game and all i have to do is delete a roster. sweet. excited to try this out.

but what about my dynasty? how do i delete that roster? the first thing i did is download a named roster so i guess i'll need to start over. no big deal since i've only managed to play 5 games of it due to the stupid linebackers and whatnot.

I tend to agree. This for me is not the sky is falling, the world is ending issue some are advertising it as.

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

I'm seeing scrambles using Carsons rosters. Not saying there is no bug by any means, but as Chase said, with sliders the game still can be pretty good.

Yeah it's not for me either. Personally I think a lot of folks are just seizing on this to channel their anti-EA vitriol.

Agreed. The only thing that I worry about is that all the hard work the roster makers already put into the game may be scrapped by the patch. It's all speculation at this point, but I hope there's a way to salvage all that hard work those guys did.

Like I've said, before I stumbled upon these threads, I was enjoying the game just fine with buckeye02 and Gatorbait's roster, using pretty much default Heisman and Slow game speed. Yes, I have some long-standing issues with the game, but I've come to accept the game for what it is and not harp too much on the negatives. At the end of the day, I still enjoy playing the game, and that's all that matters to me.

There are a select here and they know who they are, where it's obvious that's exactly what they are doing. It's too bad because they are drowning out those who have complaints and have constructive and well thought out idea's on them.

I don't disagree with any of this. And again I find these niggling issues to be aggravating. But I am still having fun with the game. The second it stops being fun, I will move on to something else to do with my free time.

Too bad its there, but it has had zero affect on my enjoyment of the game. Im 5 years into my dynasty so named rosters are worthless to me now.

Same. I enjoyed it before, not gonna stop. I'm sure it'll be better after the patch but for now, I'm content.

It's just that we are now on page 104 of this thread and it's pretty clear at this point how everyone feels. We get it, you're not happy this bug is included--I'm not either. If this issue is a game killer for you, that's perfectly OK. If you never want to play it again, or buy the franchise again, thats OK. Hell, if you think EA is the devil that is OK. Everyone is entitled to their opinion....we just don't need to keep belaboring points in this thread that reach far beyond this specific in game issue.

A patch fixing this issue has already been confirmed. That's really all anyone can ask for right now regarding this thread topic specifically. People can either play with unnamed rosters or deal with the tendency switching until the patch is released. End of story. You don't have to be happy that these are your options but you do have to accept it if you want to keep playing this game.

Im trying to move this thread in a more helpful direction by providing facts about the bug, gameplay impressions with and without bug, and also possible work arounds for those that want to use named rosters until the patch hits.

Exactly. I could certainly spend hours upon hours playing the game, analyzing every play, breaking down what the AI did and didn't do right, but I choose not to. I have no problem if people want to do this and there are some posters on here (Gotmadskillzson) that do shed some light in a constructive way on some of the issues NCAA has, and I do appreciate that because it will hopefully lead to fixes down the road.

There are things I see that drive me batty from time to time, but that's true of pretty much any videogame out on the market. I'm willing to overlook the negatives if the positives are strong, and in this case, I do feel that the positives of NCAA 12 outweigh the negatives.

Like I said, I hope the roster issue is fixed (and the roster editors are spared from having to re-input data) and we can all move on from this issue.
