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

i give them props on everything else! not a bad patch. im guessing this is the last patch most likely? its not a bad game. the running game is still not very hard. the DBs are not quite as agressive though. ea still has a ways to go with ncaa football franchise.

have to agree with you wcwecw75...i'm enjoying this game much, to the point where I'm considering trading recently bought madden for either NHL or FIFA. Played several games today, lost to three higher ranked opponents. I'm the OC at NC State and fell to UNC, VT and FSU because my team's defense, which I can't control, is horrible. The offenses are open and running is easier (had difficulty with the linemen suddenly shedding their blocks when I got near).

Definitely enjoying the game. Have been able to throw over defenders and throw outs. Most mistakes I'm making are my own fault and you can open up your playbooks now, not call plays based on what works based on the game's programming

Never had a single freeze pre-patch.

Post patch...bam, freeze!

Bravo EA! Bravo!

EDIT: Thank God for autosave!

I dont really have any complaints about the patch... Seems to play well. I wish they would have fixed if you are an OC or DC in dynasty and you have televised games then it should count towards your school televised games, either regional or national. This is what brings down television ratings in recruiting pitches because itll show 0 television records eventhough you would have played on television for those games.

Agreed. This should be fixed as it causes your school's television exposure rating for recruiting to be dragged way down.

Also would be nice if they could fix the cold weather in the indoor Big 10 Championship game.

I am playing as Hawaii and when i do a no huddle offense, i cant switch formations during the no huddle offense. For example if i do a play in ace spread and i swith over to pistol trips, it will only go to that first formation in that genre. so i can only have 3 formations in a no huddle sort to speak. anyone else having the same issue???

This whole thread is about what you just mentioned... 64 pages of it.

I just downloaded brand new rosters and looked up new sliders for my post-patch gaming pleasure and fired up a Play Now game with Auburn vs. Louisville. My first drive featured two good runs by Dyer to get a first. On the first play of my new set of downs I ran my first passing play of the game (play action) and checked down all of my receivers so I wasn't paying much attention to the pocket around Trotter (the QB). When I throw the ball to a wide open receiver in the middle it instantly got swatted. My first reaction was the usual "Son of a *****!!" that I've become accustomed to with the Super LBs. I thought to myself, "Self, wasn't this supposed to be fixed?" I take a look at the instant replay and my pocket had collapsed and a wide open DLinemen had knocked down my pass instead of trying to sack me. He was right in front of Trotter. I'm giddy. If it continues to play like it has so far into this game then I will be pleased with EA as I don't use custom playbooks and don't use the hurry up too often.

Does the roster workaround posted on the main page work on PS3 as well?

Also does anyone have rosters that will work in their rosters that I can download?

Thanks.

I don't think this was supposed to be fixed but I think the chances of the CPU receiving the ball after winning the coin toss were improved slightly. Instead of being 0.01% of the time choosing to receive, it's 20%

I know most people are concerned about the no huddle glitch, but I thought I would share this little tidbit for the others including myself who have posted about ridiculous interceptions that we've been seeing. I went and looked at my rosters again. I was using Buckeye & Gatorbait's rosters for PS3, and it looked like the tendencies were still jacked up. So, this is what I did.

1. Deleted the game completely and all saved files.
2. Reinstalled, patched and loaded the tuner.
3. Downloaded luvtotha9's rosters since he has uploaded a post-patch version.

The difference is startling. I can actually play the passing game. It's still way harder than last year. Comeback routes used to be money last season when you were struggling and needed a quick 10 yards. This year, they might as well not even be in the game since it's a guaranteed pick. The DBs never bite. Also, so many passes get tipped this year. It's like DBs and LBs never make a mistake in coverage even on teams with poor defensive personnel. However, I'm not seeing DBs double their speed to run in front of receivers on post routes anymore. I can actually execute a slant route pass. So, there is hope after all.

Yeah, I started a dynasty with Purdue and I threw my first three passes against Middle Tennessee State as pics. On inside post routes, it'll look like your receiver has separation, but once you throw the ball the DB bolts out in front of the receiver and grabs the ball. I finished the game with 7 pics overall. I started my second game against Rice and first two passes were picked off. I gave up at that point. This game is stupid.

I agree completely. I'm playing my first game in a LONG time because I didn't want to pick the game back up until after the patch was released, but I can tell that the passing game is different. And from what I can tell it's different in a good way. I'm loving the game so far. Still too early to get too excited though. EA's let me down like this before.

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

I'm feeling like this game is one patch and maybe another tuner away from being a good game. As I'm thinking about it, weren't there three patches last year? I know there were definitely more tuner updates.

Do we know what the tuner update actually tuned? I think I read somewhere on OS that the notes hadn't been released yet, but I'm not sure how long ago that had been posted.

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

Yes, it was basically all about progression in dynasty mode. Players and coaches were progressing far too quickly. The took that down a notch.

I hope they didn't hinder the players' progression TOO much. The overalls' of players were a little on the high side this year, but I didn't think it was too extreme. A universal 3-5 overall shift downward with a mixture of strong recruiting classes and weak ones would suit me just fine. I didn't like the abnormally low ratings of NCAA '11.
