NCAA Football 12 Roster Glitch Confirmed, Patch to Address Concerns

03:00 PM - July 20, 2011 by skins5680

Christian McLeod has confirmed the NCAA Football 12 roster glitch will be addressed in an upcoming patch. The fix for now? Are you ready for this? Delete your named roster file.

What are the problems you ask? Here are just a few comments from the OS community.

One of the NCAA Football 12 Software Engineer's posted this topic (roster related), in hopes to get some things resolved.

	When you edit the name of a scrambling QB it changes them to balanced and editing a balanced QB changes them to scrambling. I noticed when i downloaded a roster with names that Denard Robinson was shown as a balanced QB so i went back to the default roster and he was back to a scrambler. So i played a game with the named roster and he attempted zero scrambles. I then played a game with the default roster and he scrambled five times in the first two drives.

	I seen this last week when I downloaded Fairdale Kings rosters for the 360. It just isn't the QBs tendancy that changes, it is also the pass rusher, coverage guys, hard hitters. Everybody tendancy description changes...... I noticed it also effected the Kick off and punt returns for the CPU. And effected the punt blocking the user. With no names, I was able to return punts back for a TD sometimes with a good enough returner. With names, the gunners get down the field super fast like they did in NCAA 11. With out names, the CPU was able to return punts and kick offs back for TDs on me. With names, their blocking is non existent and the cpu have a hard time making it to the 30 yard line on kick offs and on Punt returns they get 3 yards now, my gunners get down the field so fast now I be right on top of them as soon as they catch the ball. So as it stands, no names seem to give the better game play. Being that other players tendancies have changed, I noticed some things. 1. LBs get a lot of tips and INTs on named rosters, even when they aren't in position to do so. 2. Safeties who suppose to be heavy hitters, turn into coverage guys and Intercept passes they normally wouldn't. 3. WRs get off the line quicker on named rosters and they hit stick tackle people on Ints. I had intercepted a pass and a WR hit sticked me. 4. Thomas with his new found strength is now more likely to keep the ball on read option plays. More like 90% of the time now. This was the same way in NCAA 11 when you made a QB's strength too high. 5. DEs don't generate a pass rush on named rosters like they do on non named rosters. Now I am REALLY glad I didn't delete the default roster. I will have that to play until they fixed the name rosters issue. Way too many players to edit get them back to what they suppose to be tendancy wise. Which is another thing, with the work around even though they back to their correct tendancy, their ratings will be out of whack. Good players will be made weaker, weaker bad players will be made stronger.

	Same issue with no patch. Also messed around, it changes the tendency for every single player. Im thinking that the rosters will have to be named again if this is patched. How can they patch it to go in reverse and correct tendencies on already named rosters? Looks like a more realistic patch is a fix to keep it from changing for future named rosters.

	Just received confirmation that this issue is being looked into heavily by the guys at EA. Be patient--there is a sizable amount of testing with different design divisions to identify the issue and look into a possible fix. It would be helpful if you can please put together a chart showing the following for all positions affected by this issue. I would then like to provide this information to EA. This would also help with making community edits if necessary. Thanks. Position: Default Tendency: New Tendency: Result:

	Well, so far... Position: Quarterback Default Tendency: Scrambler New Tendency: Balanced Result: Default scrambling quarterbacks hardly scramble at all. Position: Quarterback Default Tendency: Balanced New Tendency: Scrambler Result: Default balanced quarterbacks scramble all the time. Position: Running back Default Tendency: Speed New Tendency: Balanced Result: Default speed backs act as balanced backs. They'll attempt power moves too often. Position: Running back Default Tendency: Balanced New Tendency: Speed Result: Default balanced backs act as speed backs. They'll never attempt power moves.

Get rid of that damn upside down picture and you are looking at the wrong screen.

It still says scrambler in the edit menu; it says balanced on the roster page.

Dude your pic is upside down and you on the wrong screen. go to the 1st screen when you just see the players names with just one player highlighted

Well I don't know what WE can do about it, but if I were EA, I might start my debugging search there.

# 126 LionsFanNJ @ 07/21/11 01:00 AM

you know. This could also be the reason that the spread teams aren't running the ball the way they should. All the Scrambling QB's are now Balanced QB's and vice versa, and Speed backs are all Balanced backs ETC.

There we go. See? Big problem. Guess I'm back to QB #XX

# 129 northface28 @ 07/21/11 01:03 AM

Tried all these work-arounds and nothing. Im not sure how this isnt a game-breaker, got work in the morning, off to bed, hopefully someone finds a fix.

Well it certainly isn't helping matters.

If EA is listening there is a simple fix for this.

Let us edit player tendencies/types. Half the issues with the game could be fixed by giving us the ability to change and edit more things.

# 132 LionsFanNJ @ 07/21/11 01:06 AM

If EA is reading the Bug thread i think we should all make a post in there about it. I know so far me Skillz and BaylorBear from what i saw made a post there.

But that's not even it! He is marked as a scrambler in the edit menu so it's interpreting Robinson's ratings as that of a scrambling QB. There is some glitch or something triggering the change on the roster list and in actual gameplay.

This is rather hypothetical, but say they did let us edit "player tendencies." We would just set scrambling QB's to balanced (on the edit screen) and EA would use their whoopty do computing power and transform him into a scrambler.

He's got a bit of a point.

Yea, but that's a ton of work when it seems it could be as simple as an errant piece of code. In the long run, yes, having more editing power (like duplicate numbers) would be better. But for simplicity, I'd much rather they find what's causing it and prevent it from being used. It should be as simple as tendency in edit menu = tendency on roster list.

I couldn't agree more.

Although if they were to open up the editing, separate the damn coach rosters! I have no desire to ever spend the time on editing coaches because as soon as there is a new player roster released, it is all for not.

# 138 Gotmadskillzson @ 07/21/11 01:14 AM

The bigger problem is that it just isn't QBs, it is random positions on every team that is changed, ALONG WITH THE QB.

So therefore we have to comb through every position just to make sure they are on the correct tendancy, if not we have to greatly alter ratings to put them on the correct tendancy.

Not only is that time consuming, but you will have some people too weak and some people too strong.

Since different people change to their correct tendancy with different ratings. Some have to be too high, some too low.

See what I mean ?

Pure genius I tell you.
