NCAA Football 12 Title Update #2 Available Now For PS3, Post Impressions Here

[SECElit3]

Not sure if this has been posted here or not, but it's been flying around a lot of other sites:

I'm Russ Kiniry and I'd like to welcome you to Client Update 2 for NCAA Football 11. You should be able to download the update now (it will automatically download when you start the game). Roy talked about this update coming a while back in his blog 'Thank You' and I brought it up again when we released Live Tuner Pack 1 last week. I am happy to finally say it is here, and we've got a long list of tweaks, tunes, and fixes. Many of these changes were requests straight from you, the fans of NCAA Football, so it was very important to us to get them in the update. Enough words, let's get to the list!


Graphics

• Uniform degradation has been fixed.
• Fixed a graphical issue with TeamBuilder sideline home uniforms.
• Fixed several camera bugs (pulled back on field goals, blurry cameras, and replays after a change of possession)
• Fixed helmet numbers for Rice and Wake Forest

Online

• Resolved an issue with Season Showdown, allowing us to turn it back on, so you're upload failure message every time you go in/out of game is gone!
• Fixed a couple freezes related to lobbies
• Fixed voice communication in Online Dynasty Hub on PS3
• Fixed an issue that could lead to a disconnect in online play during play calling

Offense

• Fixed an issue on a couple plays where the QB would miss a hand off and run backward
• Reduced the chance that the ball will be knocked out when a receiver is hit at the time of the catch
• Tuned the CPU ball carrier so that they will break to the outside more often when appropriate
• Tuned how the CPU ball carriers utilize leans and special moves so that they won't be used in situations when they shouldn't (e.g. a HB in the open field will not put his shoulders down when running forward)
• Tuned pass accuracy and the ability to lead a receiver
• Tweaked sideline catch animations in the end zone so that they have a bit more room to play
• Fixed an exploit where backwards passes could be overly effective

Defense

• Fixed defensive reaction to pump fake to be more balanced. Skilled defensive backs will not be as easily fooled by pump fakes.
• Tuned the Aggressive Defensive Line Gameplan to have more risk of jumping offsides
• Removed a hesitation from defensive lineman pass rush on screen plays
• Improved flat zone and deep zone coverage
• Tuned man coverage reaction to the run
• Adjusted CPU pursuit angles in some specific cases where they weren't being aggressive enough

Special Teams

• Tuned onside kicks to be less predictable
• Fixed an issue where catching a kicked ball after hitting the goalpost would result in kicking team getting the ball back
• Fixed an issue where the punter could line up out of place
• Adjusted cross bar collision on field goals and extra points

Other

• Tuned CPU clock management where they would let the clock run out in some cases they shouldn't
• Fixed a bug with time of possession tracking
• Adjusted substitutions to be more intelligent (previously would see some weird players in the game with lots of aggressive no huddle)
• Fixed a couple places where the wrong custom stadium sounds would play
• Fixed a bug that caused Road To Glory to be simulated day by day near the end of the season
• Tuned Kick Power and Kick Accuracy of progression of kickers and punters in Dynasty Mode
• Fixed a couple infrequent game lock-ups

I dont think so....sounds like this game remains unplayable

Ok, I just played a great SEC game of Florida vs SC. 27-20 final and the best stats I've ever gotten out of a NCAA football game ever. Quite the opposite of unplayable.

NOTES HERE:

Hey Everyone, Ben Haumiller here with the announcement that Title Update #2 is available now on the PS3 and will be available tomorrow (early morning), September 9^thfor Xbox 360. I know everyone has been waiting anxiously for the update to arrive, and we appreciate your patience.
Here’s a refresher on what was already announced as being included in title update #2 as well a couple of additional notes based on updated information since the last blog:


Custom Playbooks
As previously noted, the missing play issue has been fixed. At the time of the last blog it was believed that all existing playbooks would be automatically fixed by this update, but we’ve learned that there are a small percentage of playbooks that are beyond repair and will need to be deleted. If you’ve never experienced a problem with your Custom Playbook feel free to continue using it as normal, but if you have had an issue prior to Title Update #2 try the playbook again. Before using the previously existing playbook you will need to first resave the playbook, once you do that you will be able to take it in-game. If everything works great, then your playbook problems are solved. If not you will need to delete that playbook and create a new one.
One other note about previously existing custom playbooks, once you resave the playbook the audibles will be reset to default. You will need to reset your custom audibles in order to use them in-game.

Tendencies
The fix to the issue where a player’s tendency changed when that player was edited still does not negate any previously edited roster file. The fix will be applied to both those existing files, as well as any new roster file that is created.
If you are in a Dynasty or Online Dynasty you will not need to restart as long as your Dynasty is still in year one and you have not advanced past “Training Results” in the off-season. If you are before this point, the update will be applied to your existing Dynasty/Online Dynasty and the tendencies will be correct for all players going forward. If you are in year two and beyond, the tendency issue impact will be less and less as the players graduate/are cut from the rosters.
In addition to the tendencies issue, we have also included both the ability to edit height and weight for players, as well as the option to edit the rosters of CPU controlled teams. In an Online Dynasty the commissioner will have the ability to edit the rosters for other human controlled teams. These were both big requests from you in the community.
Finally, a bug was fixed with the profanity filter that was preventing many common names from being entered. Now, any name can be entered, for offline use. A profanity filter is applied to Online Dynasty when the Dynasty is created. If you prefer to opt out of this filter, you can set the Dynasty to Private and the profanity check will not run.

Freezes/Crashes
A major focus for this Title Update was to address any freezes/crashes that were found. There were a number of these issues fixed in this Title Update including a crash that occurred when there were multiple TeamBuilder teams in an Online Dynasty, as well as a crash that occurred during the downloading of an Online Dynasty file. Also an issue was fixed where a roster file could become corrupt, causing a crash at the Press Start screen.

Gameplay
-Increased the acceleration of QB’s on Speed Option plays.
-Improved WR blocking, especially on option plays
-Fixed an issue where defenders assigned to play the curl to flat/buzz zone did not engage immediately when the QB scrambles past the LOS.
-Fixed an issue where safeties with inside deep ¼ zone would drop back instead of read-and-react on run plays.
-Fixed an issue in Nickel Cover 3 where the flat zone defender didn’t move as the QB was running at them.
-Fixed an issue with Double Outs from 4-2-5 Normal where the RLB wasn’t blocked properly vs. certain formations.
-Improved the QB’s decision making on where to run after keeping the ball on a Read Option play.

Highlights
-Fixed an issue that caused a blank photo to be uploaded leading to issues with other highlights being uploaded.

Dynasty
-Fixed an issue in Online Dynasty where injured players did not remain injured when the week advanced.
-Fixed an issue where a player’s injury time was only reduced by one week when going from Conference Championship week to Bowl Season. Players will now be back for their Bowl game if they should be off of the IR when their bowl game is played.
-Fixed an issue where coaches that changed jobs could get stuck in a state where they were still listed as coaching at their old school on the Players Leaving screen, leading to a Transfer Failed issue.
-Fixed an issue that occasionally prevented Dynasties from advancing past week 15.
-Fixed an issue with the schedule that prevented entering the Virginia Tech vs. Boston College game (fixed for both Dynasty and RTG).
-Fixed an issue where recruiting related trophies/achievements were not unlocked properly if you signed an extension in that season.
-Fixed an issue with Program Stability where the grade would drop from A+ to D+ in one season.
-Fixed an issue with the Unlock All Promises PDLC not unlocking properly on the Dynasty website.
-When viewing an Online Dynasty invite, added information to show what type of job can be selected by default.
-Fixed an issue when in the off-season where player stats did not match up between the web and console.
-Fixed an issue when recruiting from the web where an incorrect error pop-up would come up claiming that you were currently recruiting on the console.
-Fixed an issue with Custom Conferences which removed the limit to the number of swaps that could be made.
-Fixed an issue with Custom Conferences which caused an unbalanced number of conference games among conference members.
-Fixed an issue with Custom Conferences where the conference schedule would not be generated properly if a TeamBuilder team was used in a conference with protected rivals.

RTG
-Fixed an issue where CB’s could not audible after earning the ability to do so through Coach Trust.
-Fixed an issue where HB’s could not flip the play after earning the ability to do so through Coach Trust.

Online
-Fixed an issue where player’s online stats were not displaying promptly on the Online Leaderboards.

Thank you again for your patience for the arrival of this second Title Update. I trust you will find that it has been well worth the wait.

And this is how to ensure that no one makes an effort to answer your questions. Remember kiddos, this is what not to do
