    Re: NCAA Football 12 Title Update #2 Details

    Doesn't EA usually announce when a patch has been submitted and then it's about 2 weeks after that is when it releases?

    If there is no announcement soon I think that it won't be out until mid September. If they announce something tomorrow that would put it at Sept 6th and patches I believe usually come out on Tuesdays.

    I just hope they are taking their time fixing things. A patch in the works this long by all accounts should vastly improve the game, and we all know there is a lot to be fixed. Also we don't need a patch that breaks other things so time is key.

    Perhaps the tuner set is going to be released along with the patch and that's the reason for the silence from EA as well.

      Same here. More than likely not buying NCAA 13. They're really really really going to have to win me over. It probably needs to rate higher than a 9.25. And then I'll wait about a month to see if it has as many bugs.

            I most likely will not be purchasing another NCAA product until they make some changes internally. I am seriously starting to have my doubts about the overall health of this current team, particularly one individual.

            I think it is time for a change. I just can't look past some of the arrogance displayed by persons representing this company. I'll start with the making of. I literally became physically sick while watching it.

              I've already switched my pre-order on Madden to Uncharted 3. Like many others have said, I am also done with first day/week purchases of any EA Sports title. I was as excited for this NCAA as I have ever been, but there is literally nothing new in the game that works like it should. It doesn't give me much hope for Madden.

                Even though I've found great sliders -- I'm still severely disappointed with EA's lax timing on this patch.

                  I think part of the problem with the corporate world today is everyone is way to positive in meetings and nobody wants to offend each other. They might disagree with something that is said but they dont want to look like the jerk at the table so they keep thier mouths shut.

                  I saw way to much of that in the making of show.....was it all for TV.....maybe, but I have been in meetings like that and I just cant keep my mouth shut. I dont care, if I hear a crappy idea I just say, "Yeah but I dont think it will work because of this." or "Well have you thought about what will happen if this....." and its funny as hell to watch people freeze and figure out how to recover.

                  This team needs to get a tongue lashing and that is all there is to it. It wont happen thought because the marketing did an excellent job of making sure we saw all the positive additions and kept the negatives in the dark. I think a huge indication this game might have alot of problems started at E3 when it was shown behind closed doors and was not out on the showroom floor for all to see.....shoulda known after that. Sales are up this year and the team will stay intact......goofy smiles and all.

                  I am enjoying the game....but I am still in a "practice" dynasty waiting for the patch to save the day. My friends want to do an online dynasty but with all the problems reported we ae holding off, and the idea is loosing steam with Madden around the corner. I also hope they patch as much as possible so really I dont mind the wait it that means a meaningful patch is in the works.

                    I had Madden pre ordered, I cancelled it. I'm probably getting rid of NCAA tomorrow for deus ex. Just sick of being insulted. I couldn't even get through the menus of dynasty mode w/o it crashing, and we have to wait a month+ for the patch. Screw it, I'm done. I've been going back and forth for years now about getting off these games, and this is probably the year that did it. I just can't justify paying $60 for a game that is released in this state when they are the only option. They owe us more for that reason alone.

                      I've been playing NCAA since I was 8 and has always been a day one purchase. Like many others have said that is now going to end next season. They need to get rid of this whole engine IMO. The blocking has been terrible for years now and seems like they never want to change it. The atmosphere has been the real game killer for though. I've tried all the custom settings but with the crowd going dead for most of the game and after big plays it just feels wrong and atmosphere is teh best part of college football for me. Going to do the smart thing and trade it in for store credit for Battlefield 3. Can't wait for FIFA 12 though.

                        When people such as yourself(and myself) and others who have been on this site for the better part of 10 years MAINLY due to NCAA football series, are saying things like this, it's really bad. I began viewing this site in '01 and joined in '02 for the sole purpose of this game.

                        EA's gonna learn you can only pull the wool over our eyes for so long. Once you tick off your longtime audience, you've done something really bad.
                        The only thing saving them is that this board, as big & important as it is, still doesn't make a dent in the public perception of this game.

                        We can't even trust EA when they say things are fixed now! WTH is up with that? It's one thing to simply not fix an issue....but to tell us something is fixed, and it's not, or it's fixed in a shoddy manner is poor business.

                          Agreed. I try and defend this game because it's a part of my childhood. I have literally bought this game every year since it was released. What is that, 13 years? 14, 15? That's more than half of my life. Whatever it is, I've been there, most of the time on release day (12 AM), with my wallet ready to give my money to EA. I won't lie, I've never felt that I haven't gotten my money's worth from this game, but it is so incredibly disheartening to see the same issues year after year. Some years, I feel like I force myself to play it, and ignore all the bugs and glitches.

                          I guess as I've gotten older, I've accepted that games will not be perfect, nor will they ever fully meet my expectations. But when you see a game that has so much damn potential just sputter along, it really chips away at your desire to play. My gaming time is extremely limited now due to simply growing up and having a family, so it makes it that much harder.

                          There is no reason on why this game should not be a MONSTER when it comes to sales. College football is so popular in our country. There is nothing else quite like it... The rivalries, the bands, the atmosphere - but you don't ever really feel any of that with this game. We've had core features taken away from us that were on the old consoles. We are told things like, "Well, there's disc space issues..." But none of that adds up because there are things that we had then that we don't have now, and I thought improving technology would broaden the opportunities for games? I don't know, I just don't get it.

                          I'd rather buy my son $60 worth of toys than spend money on this game. At times, I want to defend this title to my death, but my mind tells me that I am simply being dishonest with myself. I haven't turned my 360 on in well over a week, and that is unheard of for me this time of year. Usually, I have at least one dynasty in the books by now, but I haven't even started one yet because I've heard of all the bugs. I just can't do it to myself.

                          I love immersing myself in this game. If you head over to the Dynasty HQ forum, you'll see I do some posting over there, but I've lost interest in it because I can't overcome the bugs. A 5-star QB coming in with 46 throw power? My 6'5" 225 pound QB can't throw the ball 40 yards, yet I was the highest rated incoming QB... I know there are point upgrades, but stuff like that just kills the experience for me.

                          I know I'm whining, but it just eats at me. It's not like I'm depressed, but I feel... cheated. Let down. It sucks, and I just hope EA rights the ship before it's truly too late and this title gets dropped. That might sound extreme, but so did not releasing an NBA game last year by EA.

                          We're getting an essential patch two months (or more) after the release date... That's nuts. Two months! People can't even play the game because of the freezing issues, and EA does little to address it, apologize, or keep us in the loop on when the patch might drop. I know giving dates is not standard business practice, but when you've let down so many, perhaps an explanation is in order.

                          Come on EA, so many of us have been loyal, to a fault even, and all we want is for you to step up and give us something to be excited about. You hype up and market this game so well, but you haven't been delivering.

                            Fantastic post. You summed up exactly where I am at with this title and how it fits in my life. It's so disappointing.

                              Come on EA, so many of us have been loyal, to a fault even, and all we want is for you to step up and give us something to be excited about. You hype up and market this game so well, but you haven't been delivering.
                              I agree 100%

                                Re: NCAA Football 12 Title Update #2 Details

                                This is the first year I haven't bought NCAA at launch since Bill Walsh Football. Fight Night Champion was the straw that broke this camel's back. Not only were there freezing issues and glitches at launch, they totally ignored them and patched and tuned the game from pretty decent to a pile of broken code removing things like cuts and swelling and totally frogging up the judging. They actually broke things that were working and removed items essential to a boxing game.

                                I remember NCAA last year, the qb accuracy was pretty good out of the box, 3 weeks later Robo QB was patched/tuned back in. On top of that there were so many other changes that the sliders I had worked on for weeks were no longer applicable.

                                I think that EA now caters to the online crowd. The online crowd tends to be "win at all costs" so they won't tolerate things like innacurate QB's or missing FG's. Actually alot of the offline crowd must be win at all cost too because little Timmy needs the 4 vertical bailout money play in case he is losing late. Its no longer about realism, its fancy graphics first and realistic play second.

                                Anyway, I have saved myself a ton of frustration by passing on this game this year. The best thing you can do is wait 3 or 4 months until they are done tuning and patching and come back here and ask a few trusted members what they think of the game or renting it. In the end, you will have saved time you can use productively elsewhere, saved money because its usually 39 or less after October, and if enough of us do this, it will put a blip on EA's radar that releasing buggy/glitchy products will not be beta tested for free and purchased at a premium.
