If it addresses the Tendency bug, then I'll be happy. With no-huddle fixed, I'm pretty well set with this game now.

Thank you, please fix this game. Fix option D in zone!

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.

You really REALLY don't know PC gaming as well as you think you do just to prove your point.

They need to do something about the super line backers. Im getting tired of having a wide open receiver and out of know where a line back comes and swats the ball away. The CB and S have a magical power to pick off the most incredible passes but drop the ones that hit them in the chest. Come on EA do something to make the people that play the game happy.

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.

I can almost agree with that, but EA's track record as far as football goes has been mediocre the last few years. NBA 2K didn't really need to change a ton of stuff within the franchise/association mode as most of it already worked really well. Lots of promises from EA on the Madden franchise mode & the online dynasties in NCAA this year and we're still waiting.

And honestly, I think a lot of the bad rep that EA gets is probably overblown, but it seems bigger because most of the criticism lies within the sports genre, which is obviously the theme of this place. And then some companies bring on the bad rep all by themselves (Activision says hello).

I think it's great they are releasing a fourth title update, but, like everyone else, it makes me wonder about making all the promises about tuning updates this year. I'd guess either the tuners can't fix what's wrong, or they (EA) don't have them working right on their side. That would be my guess for the online dynasty website as well. And Teambuilder '12, which looks strikingly familiar to 11.

Seems real simple to me fix ****** f.g's by cpu and fix the freezing issue in Online Dynasty. Only reason 80% of people buy this game instead of madden is because of the Online Dynasty which was great the past 2 years but this year it is downright unplayable. Ive played 20+ ranked games and had no disconnextions or freezes. In only 2 years of a 12 team online dynsaty 5 0f my 7 user games have had to be simmed due to freezing glitch & the same goes for the other 11 guys.

Maybe Patch #4 will fix the spelling and grammar of many of the OS posters.

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

What about the Depth Chart issue? Is there a problem this year with the CPU depth chart in offline dynasty? I haven't been able to finish one season yet due to the problems with this game. Still screwin with sliders.

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

fix custom playbooks
fix pass trajectory
fix psychic DBs
fix tendencies
fix option off/def

I'll add these to the wish list as well.

fix coach progression
fix grass texture during gameplay
fix custom sounds so they fade out like they should

A tuner would be nice as well any day now.

[LionsFanNJ]

One small thing id like to see is let the no huddle user teams do the whole look to sideline thing. I can't trigger it like the cpu does. Last years trick doesn't work.


Tuner for DE pressure and CPU HB's to use their special moves wouldn't hurt either.

I've pretty much fixed DE pressure with sliders with a tip from Playmakers. They at least use their special moves and get to the QB before the DTs on a more consistent basis. 100 Pass Rush and 55 Pass Block is the setting. It's not perfect, but much better.

The last part of your post is what's gonna make me give up on this game. The RBs and WRs in this game have no identity. A user made a great point Thur night after the Oregon game. He commented on LaMichael James' running style and asked why backs like him don't run that way on the EA game, especially since they ran true to their tendency last year. I'm sick of seeing Chris Rainey run straight and lower his head into a LB without even trying to juke. I'm sick of seeing Kick returners run straight along the sideline when there is literally 50 yards of open space on the other side of the field! It's really got me to the point of saying screw it.

I honestly think this is all tied in to the screwed up tendency issues we have had since launch. They attempted to fix it before but didn't. My gut tells me this all ties in somehow. I can't prove it, but how do we explain RBs in NCAA 11 running and using special moves and this year they all run like Earl Campbell? IDK anymore lol.

EA. We need the tuners you promised!

Fix the 3/4 under defense. Certain plays cause online games to disconnect! Sucks!

YES! I'm going back 'n forth between NBA2k12 and this forum and it's amazing how poor some of the grammar and basic spelling problems are in these forums. I realize that this is an online forum and everything, but some of the stuff people should get out of the eighth grade.
