NCAA Football 12 Title Update #2 Details

Re: NCAA Football 12 Title Update #2 Details

I just played the Madden 12 demo on PS3. All I can say is "wow", the graphics on Madden look 5x better than the graphics on NCAA. I've been saying NCAA looks like a PS2 game during gameplay as a joke, but after seeing Madden, it is a joke no longer. When you look at players in the "edit player", "change uniform" screens, and instant replays, the graphics look clean and smooth. But they look like crap during gameplay, which is the most important. I'm not too familiar with the full capabilities of patches, but are they capable of cleaning up graphics on a game? If so, do you think this upcoming patch will fix the PS3 graphics?

Thanks. That's all I can think of. I wonder if the other guys who haven't had freezing issues have original models, too.

Anyone have a slim Xbox 360 and no freezing issues?

I have a slim and no freezing issues.

Re: NCAA Football 12 Title Update #2 Details

I have a Slim and have had a few freezes. It was worse before I installed to a HDD but I think that's more placebo than anything. Only frozen once in the past few days instead of once daily.

Any chance an upcoming patch will improve reaction times in menus and speed up the delay in between weeks (mainly offseason recruiting which takes forever.)

I have a Slim with 250GB HD and its installed to HD, I have only had it freeze on me 3x. Once at the end of a RTG H.S. game when the band started to play, and 2x it froze when the stupid message of the day popped up from EA LOL. This was all in the first few days after release. Hasn't done it since.

Since then I have not had one freeze and lots of times I will leave games paused for 1 or 2 hours. I work from home as an IT Manager so I have to step away a lot to deal with work stuff hehe.

Re: NCAA Football 12 Title Update #2 Details

I have an XBox 360 slim. I'm in week 12 (season 1) of our OD and it has frozen only 3 times. It never froze for the first 7 games, then froze in 3 straight games (which i replayed without incident), and now has been fine for the last two. It has never frozen outside of an online dynasty game (always while loading a game, during, or while exiting). Never once during PlayNow or any menu etc.

Variables:
Xbox 360 Slim
250gb Hard Drive
Game installed to hard drive
Patch #1 installed
ESPN Radio updates turned off
Using OSCommunity Rosters
9 Teambuilder teams installed (Big Sky ftw :P)
Using wired ethernet directly to router (no switch)

Re: NCAA Football 12 Title Update #2 Details

Well, mine has frozen about the same amount of times as you guys who have had it freeze. Three times during games (once each for three different games), and once in the menus (I was looking at the rankings). And I think it froze outside my dynasty in a game once, but I was using a custom playbook.

I just really hate replaying a game because it's not the same. This is my first season in my dynasty, so it's my first time playing each team. If I play 2 or 3 quarters, it freezes, and I have to start over, I'm going to have a better idea of what to expect.

I've been lucky enough to avoid them but had experienced them in a previous version of NCAA. There is nothing more frustrating. I feel your pain.

Re: NCAA Football 12 Title Update #2 Details

I have a slim 250 gig HD 360 and I have had it freeze about five times, the majority in a place that made me want to throw the damn 360 out the window.

It froze twice for the stupid message of the day thing.

It froze once during the winning drive of my SMU game against TCU. Inside one minute, I am in field goal range. I missed a pass to the WR and it is fourth down and frozen stiff.... Grrrrrrrr!

Another time was in my Dynasty game Kent (me) vs. Ohio U. Freezes up after a go ahead touch down in teh second half.... Ggggrrrrrrr!!!

It froze up again yesterday during the replay of said Kent vs Ohio game. Luckily it was in the early first quarter but seriously, what the hell!!!

So yeah, the freezing issue is definitely there, at least for me....

Re: NCAA Football 12 Title Update #2 Details

so let me get this straight...this sort of press release by EA states that they have 'fixed' all of these bugs, why then do we have to wait so long for the patch if they are already fixed??? unless of course they are going to find other bugs and glitches to patch as well in this time frame, in which case i can understand the delay...but wow do i want to get my dynasty started already!

Re: NCAA Football 12 Title Update #2 Details

They have to send the patch to Microsoft/Sony for certification or whatever the word is. Then once Microsoft/Sony give it the OK, they release it. Usually takes a few weeks.

I've always wondered what does Microsoft and Sony take two weeks to test for?

Probably because they have one guy(a team lead or whatever, and not saying there is only one team either) that has to put his name on the line saying it all checks out. If he screws up and a patch causes the system to crash, its his butt.

So you figure they're how many patches and updates coming in everyday? I think M$ has said they come into a cue and a patch for a game that sold 1000 copies will have its spot right in front of a EA or Rockstar title...no exceptions, all patch are cued up as they come in and are processed in that order.

Sucks but you gotta know the lowly titles would never get patched if they didn't do it that way.

Re: NCAA Football 12 Title Update #2 Details

Can u fix the pass interference slider, tired of having it at 100 and no penalties are call for it. Been dealing with this issue since 2006 with your game. Correct it!!!!!
