NCAA Football 12 Title Update #4 Is In The Works

[xirdneh132]

I love the game. It isn't perfect but I've had a ton of fun playing it and still love it to this day. It would be nice to be able to dissolve conferences, rename conferences, or fix a few annoying issues with custom playbook such as in some playbooks I'm not allowed to deselect formations, I have to keep it with at least one play no matter what (no it's not an audible play either). Lockdown CBs being beaten too much in bump and run coverage, zone d still not being that great, CB seemingly lost when the ball is in the air can be frustrating at times but overall I have loved this game.

If they fix recruit tendencies, the matador option defense, custom playbooks, and restore the zone defense back to where it was at launch, I'll be a happy camper.

Re: Title update #4 is in the works

Just please fix the psychic CPU. I've noticed recently that not only do they call a formation than counters the type of play you're running, but they'll even line up in spots where the play is going. For instance, if you call an outside run, there will a LB stationed just to the right of the LoS waiting for you. if you call a HB Dive, the LB's will be stationed above the DT's pre-snap, but if you call a Read Option there will be one LB to the right of the DE and one to the left of the other DE, to counter both possible directions.

I refuse to play this game on AA or Heisman due to this. I don't mind having a tougher challenge against the CPU, but it can be done in a better way than this. It's so cheasy and very lazy coding by EA. Versuz exposed the cheating CBs against the run like 2-3 weeks after the game launched. They need to fix this with a patch or tuner quick fast.

Personally I can win on AA or Heisman but when the cheating AI gets in gear it makes me wanna turn off the game, so I play on varsity with modified sliders.

Please fix the AI trying ridiculously long FG's on Heisman, it really takes away from the game when I am left shaking my head what seems like once a quarter.

My top five:
1. Recruit Tendencies.
2. Freezing during recruiting. Had three of them tonight.
3. Heismen AI attempting 60+ yard field goals.
4. Make sure each slider is working as attended.
5. Fix the revo speed face mask as they sit too low and they are not even attached to the helmet.

Thanks for the hard work with fixing the game. I am enjoying it.

This is ridiculous. A 4th patch?! When will this be released, bowl week? We're about half way through the season and OD still doesn't work correctly! Join the movement.

Re: NCAA Football 12 Title Update #4 Is In The Works

don't forget everyone, last year had 4 patches too. Game was pretty solid after that 4th patch, plus they still put a lot of time into this years game, as I believe it's much better than last year's game, and I enjoyed last years.

Didn't Ben basically promise us they'd actually use tuners this year? I guess he was kidding. Silly guy.

Hey EA how about you ACTUALLY TEST YOUR PRODUCT BEFORE RELEASING IT? Releasing not 1, not 2, not 3, but FOUR patches just to get rid of the most glaring gamebreaking glitches is absurd. They must have no pride in their work.

I really hope they look into the Depth Chart Problem...

Re: NCAA Football 12 Title Update #4 Is In The Works

though I'm no fan of the issues in the game either, I just don't see how so many people think 4 patches is a strange or new thing in video games. I guess you guys never played any PC games before.

It's true that many PC games release several patches, but what these patches actually do is completely different.

Most PC games(good ones anyway) have nearly all the big issues fixed before the game is released, and any that aren't are fixed in the first patch. Then minor bugs or balance tweaks will be fixed in the next couple patches as they are found. They usually do not (a) introduce NEW gamebreaking glitches, (b) leave broken parts of the game everyone complains about intact(i.e. psychic cpu). Usually with a (good) PC game the game is at least 95% perfect by the second patch.

This is my MOST wanted fix. I enjoy playing CPU vs CPU games, and heisman is where it plays best, IMHO, and this bug is what's keeping it almost unplayable.

Please EA, Fix this!

Re: NCAA Football 12 Title Update #4 Is In The Works

No it's EA. They are going to receive a lot more flak for things than other developers.

I really didn't want to play that card, but checking out reviews for NBA 2K12 where they said that association was basically the same thing as last year. If that was EA, they would be getting blasted, but 2K12 got a 'oh well'. (Not saying 2K12 is a bad game, I loved 2K11. I'll pick up 12 on BF at the earliest)

EA receives a lot more crap than other developers do. They probably should since they are the '#1' in that department (overall, not individually). I'm tired of the issues with this game and I may be done playing it for a while, but seeing the direction of other EA games, I'm pretty hopeful they have a new engine in the works. I have a gut feeling that's the case, a lot of the patch fixes have been more for basic database info, rather than on the game play end, which makes me feel like they are in a faint way neglecting it because they are working on something new.

Anyways, I hope they fix the things that are left, the big glaring issues are gone, obviously there are things that need to be fixed but it isn't horrible as people make it sound, people toss the word Gamebreaking around too simply.


At least EA is putting out a fourth patch to get this game where it should be (Even though the third was basically 2.1).

They proved me wrong and I can appreciate it, it may have gotten me to buy next year once the bugs are out there.

If most PC games have nearly all the big issues fixed before release, then why do most have a day 1 patch? and then still have many issues? and FWIW, some PC patches usually end up being bigger fixing more things than console games typically.

I'm not sure how the NCAA patches are different than PC patches. they both are fixing and/or tuning the game in an attempt to make it "better".

also, if your going to include psychic DB as "broken", then there are a lot of "broken" PC games out there. I would comment about the random 95% perfect stat, but it's no use.
