I am so sick of superlinebackers and cornerbacks that cover two receivers at the same time

What do you mean here? Because I'm a former football player and a current football coach and a cornerback can cover 2 wrs at a time. Not in man coverage of course, but in zone. For example, in cover 3 if a cover has 2 wrs running verticals, he can cover them. What he does is split the difference between them (run in-between WRS) and he's able to cover both of them.

I think he means corners in man coverage who break off their man coverage the second the ball is in the air, despite not being able to see the ball or the intended receiver. They just "know" where the ball is.

It is a pretty significant problem on crossing routes, combo routes (post/corner combos) and vertical routes that are close together. I notice it a ton lately now that I switched to air raid. I ran a mesh concept last night against man to man coverage, as the WR's crossed, I threw to the backside mesh WR and the DB on the strong side mesh WR knocked it down despite running the opposite direction. He stopped, turned and slapped it away despite being able to see the pass or the receiver.

I see this more in verticals though, where you'll throw one of the vertical routes and while the ball is in the air, the DB on the other vertical will leave his guy and play the ball despite not being able to see it.

Re: Title update #4 is in the works

I agree 100%. I'm a hardcore NCAA guy, but this game gets worse every patch that is released. I don't understand why they can't release a game and live with the results.

Not sure if it is getting worse for me, but definitely more and more frustrating knowing it is time to tweak sliders again every few weeks. Knowing a 4th patch is on the way i'm considering whether I should keep tweaking or just shelve the game till the final patch or tuner is released.

I didn't want to download this latest one, but in order to upload my highlights I was forced to. Really wish there was a way to pick and choose the patches and tuners we want or at least an option available to reinstall the previous version.

This explains it perfectly.

Its not just DB's by the way. Once you throw the ball, everyone on the D starts running to it, whether they saw the ball thrown or not. The problem is that the offensive players don't do the same thing. There's a significant lag between the time the ball is thrown to the time the receivers react and start trying to block people. Whereas the D magically knows where the ball is the second it goes out of the QB's hands.

To everyone saying this is taking away time from NCAA 13 development... wouldn't they have to fix these issues anyway?

Haha, me to and I fully expect to still see it in '13. That's the worst part. When was the last time this game didn't have super linebackers that could swat anything out of the air like Shaq? The ball tradectory is terrible in this game. I think they need to make the field, the football and the players on the field more proportinal. It's way off. I'll try to find an example somewhere and post a picture of a real life aerial shot from behind the offense and one that's showed in '12 and every other football game EA has made. It's alarming. I know it's just a game but this is something that should've been thought of the day this game was it development mode. The foundation.

As far as cornerbacks who can break off their man without seeing the ball, well, I don't know what to say. How long has this been a problem? Was it in '11? I don't remember and I don't understand their code for this part of the game. I'm not sure how the developers of this game find that acceptable. They definitely need to work on WR/DB physics and animations while the ball is in the air. This would help with the lack of pass interference calls. This game is created off of canned animations so I'm sure they could figure some sort of animation for this problem. It is a problem.

EA sports. It's in the game. Umm, no it's not.

If this was the case, then we wouldnt have the same issues year to year.

No. You will be getting extremely frustrated within 2 weeks.

I wonder if EA would ever consider doing an open beta with their sports games, preferably Madden, NCAA, and NBA Elite when it comes out. Having an open beta a month or more before release would speed things up. Battlefield was infected with problems but I bet it's fixed on release day. Just a thought. Yes? No?

I've constantly said to my friends that everyone paid 60 bucks to be beta testers for NCAA 13.

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

I've enjoyed NCAA 12, despite its flaws, since launch.

That said, since we are getting a fourth patch, I'm going to ride this game out for another 1-2 years. No way am I going through the sit-and-wait game with NCAA 13 like I did this year.

Oh yeah I hear you brutha.

I will be purchasing no sports games next year. The only one that has a shot....a shot is believe it or not Madden 13.

Yes that is right. I am so enjoying Madden 12. If they can come back next year with a much improved AI logic engine for franchise mode and revamp the entire play by play/color engine and give a real broadcast like presentation It will be worth it.

Otherwise I am sitting tight for a couple of years with all the titles I have purchased this past year and half.

MLB The Show 11
NHL 11
NBA2K11
NBA2K12 (buying on Black Friday)
Madden 12
NCAA 12

I am set for a long time.

In the meantime I am really still enjoying NCAA 12 and found the patch did wonders to the colors and stability of the game. I am looking forward to patch 4 and seeing what else will be tuned.

I am in year 4 and will keep this current dynasty going probably longer than any other I have ever done on the NCAA series. With the Coaching Carousel I can jump ship and go to a smaller school or if I can get this ship turned around go to antoher powerhouse!

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

This is what I want...

1. Fix custom playbooks.
2. Fix WR constantly dropping the ball when WIDE OPEN on comeback routes. (Appears to be an animation glitch.)
