NCAA Football 12 Title Update #4 Details, Available on Nov. 8

[dmacgreg37]

NCAA Football 12 title update #4 details have been revealed and will be available on November 8th.

Hey Everyone, Ben Haumiller here with the announcement that Title Update #4 is targeted to be available on Tuesday, November 8th. Here are the details on what's included in Title Update #4:

Online Desync fix

We've fixed a desync that was occurring when performing pre-play adjustments from the 3-4 Under defensive formation.

Road to Glory

We've fixed an issue with the playcalling AI where running plays were called too often in situations where a passing play should be called. This was most noticeable when trailing late in a game with a running back RTG character.

Online Dynasty – Transfer Failed

There are a few different issues that are causing Transfer Failed notifications in Online Dynasties. The majority of people ran into this error when attempting to upload data (i.e. game result, recruiting info, etc.). The fix for this issue involved more than we could do on the server side alone, and that fix is included in this Title Update. There will also be a server deployment necessary to complete the fix for these Transfer Failed issues. At this time, it looks like that server deployment will happen shortly after the Title Update is available. Once we know the exact date of the deployment we will be sure to pass the info along.

As for the remaining Transfer Failed issues, we are continuing to investigate server side fixes for these issues.

This concludes what will be included in Title Update #4. Due to additional gameplay risk involved to fix issues related to prospect tendencies in Dynasty mode, we’ve decided to forego addressing via a Title Update. To provide a little background on the tendencies issue, there are some portions of the game that convert a value to get the correct tendency, while other portions do not make this conversion. We were able to fix the tendency issue in the portions of the game that do the conversions through the Title Update, however fixing the other instances would require modification of database data, stored procedures, and code. Rather than risk the potential for this fix to cause other major data issues in Dynasty mode, the decision has been made to apply the proper fix in NCAA Football 13. Thank you for all of your support throughout the year.

Re: Patch 4 Details released

basically saying they wont update it again because it will take too long and mess up other parts. AKA wait till NCAA 13.

Re: Patch 4 Details released

It will be interesting to see what happens with the sales of ncaa 13.

Re: Patch 4 Details released

To me, thats lazy and irresponsible for EA to make a game and leave so many things half ***. I wonder how sales will go next year after this farse this year. From terrible gameplay to muffled crowds where you cant tell the difference between ball state stadium or ohio state to alabama is sad. Have a penalty against the home team should hear clearly BOO since thats how loud a large stadium sounds like. WR and DB the can catch w/o looking back. And even the tendency issue that has been here since the beginning and will be ignored. Just change all the players every year to have the rite tendencies.

Lets just wait for 13 for another round of hype and glitches and bugs. Seems to be how football in EA has become.

Can someone elaborate a little more on what the tendency issue is please? I'm not really familiar with it. Thanks.

Re: Patch 4 Details released

Now this is funny. The only thing of note that came out of this is that EA finally recognizes they break things when they try to do patches or tuners.

There really weren't any online "play now" issues. That is the crowd EA caters to, so its no suprise that nothing was fixed for the offline game.

EA is very fortunate they are the only game in town. I feel like an underprivaleged kid on a school meal program, if you want to eat, you have to take what they give you.

Re: Patch 4 Details released

thats just great (no fix for tendencies). it was so great playing oregon in my dyn the other day and not worrying about darron thomas doing anything hes known for thanx to his tendency being jacked. it was so great sacking him all the time as he didnt use his speed and just stood there in the pocket scared to run. EA will not get my money for ncaa 13 or madden 13. im done and saying with confidence....no more buying blatantly unfinished or un-innovative product!

we deserve a partial refund...honestly speaking. major portions of the game did not work consistently(OD transfer issues or custom playbooks) or at all(tendencies). EA should be ashamed. cant wait to see if theres any blowback from this horrible release next yr. im only here waiting for the 4th patch info. now that i know theyre not fixing what im looking for in tendencies....doubt ill be in the ncaa forum anymore. ah well....who cares...not EA thats for sure. good grief!

[Retropyro]

At this point EA should be offering NCAA 13 for $20 to anyone who bought NCAA 12.

And .... SOLD! Thanks, but no thanks. Maybe see you again in '14. Hopefully by then another company is in the mix to compete with (or there is a change in leadership) to raise this dying product from the dead. I'm not going to spend $60 to be an EA beta tester. Fooled me once Ben. What a complete disaster. To think I spent the last couple months tweaking sliders and perfecting rosters all in hopes of FINALLY starting my dynasty after patch #4.

EA just lost a life long customer. I am not kidding.

Re: NCAA Football 12 Title Update #4 Details, Available on Nov. 8

eh. I was holding off playing as i have so many games in the rotation. Since there isn't much gameplay tweaks I can start up again. Cool.

And i figured from the start the tendency thing is a huge database fix. not surprising it has to be fixed for next year.


TIBURON, Y U NO USE TUNERS?

Not sure if you are aware but the tendency issue not being addressed affects recruit prospects only. The tendency issue with named rosters was addressed in patch 2. I would download a current roster set from one of the roster makers. You will see that the tendencies are fixed for existing players.
