Re: NCAA Football 12 Title Update #2 Details

There's still two more weeks left in the month so, the optimist in me is still hopeful that they stick to the original timeline. It's funny to see that some people claimed to have been a part of forcing EA to come out with the patch notes and schedule for the patch but, then they want to rake them over the coals if they can't stick to that schedule. Situations like this are exactly why they keep quite in the first place.

It's frustrating and I hate that we have to deal with this with games today but, the worst thing EA could do at this point is rush out a patch and mess something up worse. That would be an even bigger PR nightmare... If that's possible.

I was really hoping the patch would be out sooner. My holidays will be over by the time it comes out. Bummer, man.

There's still two more weeks left in the month so, the optimist in me is still hopeful that they stick to the original timeline. So are you still going to be optimistic when its September 'x' and its still not out?

It's funny to see that some people claimed to have been a part of forcing EA to come out with the patch notes and schedule for the patch but, then they want to rake them over the coals if they can't stick to that schedule. Where did I or anyone who has claimed that they contributed to the EA release (notes) raking anyone over the coals? If anything I have been the voice of reason, while showing where EA never stated that it would be 'out' in August. I showed where they said that they were 'on schedule' to release then.

The only way that you could justify your statement is due to the fact that some mis-informed guys are ranting (deservedly so) because they 'thought' the patch was going to release sooner than they thought.

Situations like this are exactly why they keep quite in the first place. No, this is the exact situation where the company needs to be more transparent on whats going on. Now I am not saying that we need a 24/7 webcam or anything, just a few updates here and there saying I don't know:

"today, worked on deep ball issues"
"looking at roster glitch this afternoon"

But they don't have time to do that... blah blah blah... yes they do. It is not hard for a company like EA to get someone to post some tweets or a quick word or two on a blog.

No need to get into specific details or anything, but it would give the consumer something to see, something to see that they ARE doing something.

It's frustrating and I hate that we have to deal with this with games today but, the worst thing EA could do at this point is rush out a patch and mess something up worse. That would be an even bigger PR nightmare... If that's possible.

I am in the process of listening to the interview now, and i have to say, it's not nearly as bad as it's being made out to be. The guy answered to the best of his abilities on things he could actually, honestly answer and tried to be sympathetic to the fact that there have been some major disappointments. He didn't sound to me like he was just brushing these issues aside, he said multiple times that he and the team are disappointed with the way things have played out since launch. I think a lot of the backlash here is because he was clear that there will be things they won't be able to fix this year, which is at least honest. He also did not sound to me like he was scoffing at the August 28th date for the patch- the interviewer threw a date out and it was pretty obvious he only didn't give a direct answer because he's not allowed to. I don't know, maybe i'm more compassionate than you guys, but i don't think this guy is as terrible at his job as his reputation here would lead you to believe. Even more important is that he acknowledged things directly from forums such as these without prompting a couple times early on, proving that he's seeing and understanding what even this admittedly more hardcore fan base is saying about the game. Interpret it how you want, but for those of you who may read other people's assessments and believe he was completely dismissive, you need to listen to it yourself to decide. The people who listened and heard arrogance and apathy towards these issues are entitled to their opinion and are maybe hearing something i missed, but please don't judge this dude based off of ONLY the negative posts.

Also, his words regarding the LT/L2 thing were "if you talk to some people if you hold the left trigger, or L2, the whole world is solved and every pass is perfect, everything is fixed...(laughs)...interesting to hear, but, um, it's been a fun....(tails off)". He's definitely not confirming that one, but he didn't deny it either.

Hey, question

Will player tendencies by auto fixed by the patch, or will new rosters be needed?

They'll be fixed. No need for new rosters.

I wonder what the Better Business Bureau would have to say about all this

Did this game get worse after the interview or something? You realize nothing has changed yet right? We don't know when the patch is coming out. I think a BBB complaint based on "it might not come out as soon as i expected" is going to be a low priority when there's, you know, real fraud and bad businesses out there.

I don't mean just for this patch, I mean for the whole game. I realize that there are going to be bugs when a game comes out, but this game is nothing like what they pitched and hyped everyone up for

Ok, i was gonna say, it's not like he said "**** you" and burned a bible on this interview lol.

In that case, Lionsfan is right, they will respond to your complaint by contacting you and possibly offering a small token to make it right, and the BBB will be satisfied with that. It's the same with any business, if you complain to the BBB about a cell phone company you'll just get a small credit to your bill and the matter will be considered closed.

Wait, so if we complain to EA, is it possible to get a full refund?
