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

No idea, honestly. The gameplay before was so frustrating I never got past a single season in a dynasty. Those who had gone 3-4 seasons deep were saying that there were far to many 99 rated players and that all the coaches were ending up with really high prestige ratings because offensive and defensive coaches on good teams would get their prestige built up really high and lesser teams would hire them as head coaches. Pretty soon, all the head coaches had top tier prestige. Only time will tell as I get some years in on this dynasty I just started.

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.

Incidentally, NCAA 2011 suffered from the opposite problem. In the early releases, players did not progress enough. After a number of patches and tuner updates they got that straightened away. I think for me that's what is the most perplexing thing about year to year releases. It seemed like after all the patches and tuners last year, they had gameplay down pretty well and progression working as it should. So, how do you break that so badly in the next release when you really didn't have any new features in those areas of the game. I don't really get it. It's like every year we start from square one with the first release facing similar issues and waiting for them to get resolved again.

I'm sure the patch has addressed some things that were important to many, but serious gameplay flaws have not been touched and that's the most important things in any sports game.

Psychic db's are still large and in charge. I'm extremely disappointed in NCAA this year.

It's time to ship this game out to some lucky bargain shopper on Amazon.

EA. Please go back to basics. Gameplay. Gameplay. Gameplay.

I really want to buy this game in the future years, but no more polish, bells, and whistles.

Gameplay. Just get it right. Then I'll come back.

does anybody know if they fixed the play clock from progresive to a real play clock, or gives you a choice to turn it off or on? if anybody knows what im talking about. i dont know if the acelerated game clock bothers any other people, i know i hate it! i cant believe they keep they keep putting it in there and wont give you an option of playing with it or without it! also maybe im making my self believe this,but does the crowd sound a little better now?

I did not see anything about the "Strip Ball" setting in the list of things that were fixed. Why is this not being addressed? I see no benefit to giving a team 3 turnovers by fumbles because the turned a setting on. Turning the "Big Run" setting will keep you from fumbling, but I am not seeing anyone miss tackles when the attempt to strip the ball every time. Just a stupid idea all together.

The half can still end on a defensive penalty.

Are you guys absolutely sure that something was done to the graphics and crowd noise? Honestly, I don't notice a difference. Seems like a "LT/L2" situation again.

A few "broken" things post-patch (meaning things that were fine before but are not now):

- I know WR blocking was patched. Unfortunately, the game doesn't really register pass interference on WR blocks, it seems. The CPU ran a bubble screen to their left. There were two receivers and two CB's to that side. The CB covering the guy not being targeted broke off his WR and went to make a play on the ball. While the ball was in the air, the WR (not the one being thrown to) cleaned out the CB with a chop block. Obviously this should be pass interference, but it was not called.

- I'm seeing the option glitch on every QB option I run. One defender just stands there, apparently stuck in an animation.

- This is only mildly annoying: When you hit the triangle button (PS3) to pull up special teams in the playbook menu, the game no longer defaults to the correct special teams play. Say it's 4th down from on my own 20 yard line. When I hit triangle instead of bringing up the punt plays it'll bring up the FG option, giving me the chance to hit a 100 yard FG. Obviously I can just scroll down and choose punt, but it used to just bring up punt. And in at least one case the CPU came out in FG block formation, even after I chose punt.

I noticed the same frozen animation that the guy mentioned above. even on heisman difficulty that happens. I have one quick question regarding the roster tendencies though. I am in year 4 of my dynasty, meaning my named rosters will only have the original guys for at most one more year (redshirt seniors). So after all the original named guys graduate, will the tendencies thing be fixed, i.e. will a scrambler scramble, a speed rb juke as opposed to a power guy trucking etc?

I was playing the CPU and their QB threw a WR quick out. The football bounced very hard off the WR and went several yards behind the line of scrimmage. The game continued as if it was a fumble eventhough the pass was over the line of scrimmage. I scooped the ball up and ran it for a TD. This is a glitch.

Does anyone know what causes the receivers to allow the ball to hit them in the helmet when running drags sometimes? I'm all for drags and slants not being money plays but the fact that there's no attempt to look for the ball or catch it makes it look silly. I know it happens sometimes players getting hit with the ball but it happens in games I play 2-3 times.

If the ball is thrown behind the line of scrimmage there is no pass interference. I am a high school coach on a team that runs a lot of screens in our offense. Even if the ball is thrown forward, as long as it is behind the line of scrimmage there is no offensive or defensive pass interference.

I've noticed a slight freeze when switching menu's ! Also noticed the special teams PB is screwed up when you press triangle to punt, for some odd reason the FG screen keeps coming up even if you're way out of FG range !

Has the broken no huddle been addressed ! The patch seems to be affecting no huddle !

Yea, any word on when this will get corrected???

[Sorry if this has been address, but please understand, I'm not going to read all 659 posts before asking a question]

Thanks

You're right, I forgot to mention that the pass was beyond the line of scrimmage.
