Thanks for posting that link. I hadn't read it before.

I won't know until I actually start my dynasty and see for myself, but it seems like the true answer is:

1) Only affects incoming recruits after they join the team. I'm guessing all the existing players don't change, including recruits from prior dynasty year's classes. So if I "edit" a recruit back to his original tendency, it will stick through each following dynasty season until he graduates. Meaning it will not change back to the wrong tendency each season.

2) Certain tendencies per position get changed to a different tendency. Editing the recruit changes their tendency back to the correct, original one. (And hopefully this change is permanently saved).

3) Only affects played games, not simmed games.

4) I'm still of the opinion that the only position this is truly noticeable and matters is QB.

Nah... It is actually pretty noticeable with other postions as well. For instance, say the tendency is switched to power on a running back whose correct tendency is speed. That 180-190 lb running back will try to use power moves, instead of the jukes and spins because the tendency tells the CPU which moves to use. It is also very noticeable with corners and safeties pass coverage abilities.

Still waiting for my money back, this game is a joke.

the problem now is that there is never a "safe time to buy" because with patches EA can take something that works and BREAK it well after release... so even if you wait a month, that protects you from NOTHING if you want to play online at all.

NCAA 12 release date -- July 12

Online dynasty allegedly becomes playable with the transfer failed fix -- November 8

Sorry, but consumers should not have to wait four months after release for a major feature in a game to work.

Imagine the uproar that would happen if Modern Warfare 3's online features didn't work at all for four months lol

i've been waiting for this update to happen and have been patient with this game. I'm taking it to best buy for a trade in towards uncharted 3. I've had it.

What a garbage patch. This game has so much potential to.

Where are the tuner updates?

Ben Hamburger and his team wanted to move on to 13 since it was "too hard" to fix.

Obviously the roster glitch was just the tip of the iceberg that showed how flawed the coding was for 12. Just had a domino effect that brought NCAA 12 crashing down.

Sad day for a programmer when your code is so bad that you can't even add stuff to it without making it crash even more. Coding is like building a house, you have to have a good foundation to build on.

NCAA 12 coding wasn't good, which is why they can't add anything to it since it is barely hanging on now. Come next year, I don't want to hear anything about HDR lighting, mascots, animals, cars, band sections, 3D grass......none of that fluff stuff.

All I want to hear about is what they FIXED for GAMEPLAY. Talk about nothing but GAMEPLAY.

See I knew it was a bad sign when the 1st thing we heard about NCAA 12 they were asking for band locations pictures back in March. But did people believe me back then ? No...they thought I was over reacting, gameplay will come later and it will be good.

Well folks......end of October and gameplay will be addressed NEXT YEAR.

I see why everyone here is so angry now.

Well Skillz, with your suggested roster edits, I am getting a very good game in offline mode. True, there are still some things that even roster edits, sliders, can't fix, but have learned to deal with it. Also agree that gameplay needs to be #1.

I still would suggest that people at least try the game with the edits.

I'm done. Madden's way better this year, trading this in for a real game tomorrow.

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

...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.

On the one hand it's refreshing for them to come out and state it like it is.

On the other hand this sucks.

No gameplay fixes.

To Keyser Soze who thinks the same thing will happen again next year... I really haven't seen this much uproar and discontent with an NCAA game this generation. After 11, there were still plenty of naysayers, but at least it was playable and with the tuner packs and patches, it was much improved.

But this kind of discontent? And this many hardcore college football fans abandoning the only CFB game in town and trading it in is a really bad sign. I doubt you will see a lot of people in here buying the game on launch day. This was the last straw for a lot of people, including me. Until I hear about a brand new engine or how change of direction matters and improved line and wr/db interaction play and no more warping or suction, then NCAA 13 might as well not even come out. I'm serious. And I am not alone on this sentiment.

I have never seen the discontent this bad. My only hope is that these people, FOR ONCE, don't buy into the hype and live up to their word.

and to whoever called him Ben Hamburger, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH, that's fantastic.
