Users have begun confirming that the second patch for NCAA Football 12 is now available, at least on the Playstation 3 side of things. Xbox 360 players should expect to receive the patch sometime tomorrow morning after Microsoft updates. The updated patch notes have been released by EA in a new blog. Below are the details of what is included in the patch.
Hey Everyone, Ben Haumiller here with the announcement that Title Update #2 is available now on the PS3 and will be available tomorrow (early morning), September 9thfor Xbox 360. I know everyone has been waiting anxiously for the update to arrive, and we appreciate your patience.Here’s a refresher on what was already announced as being included in title update #2 as well a couple of additional notes based on updated information since the last blog:
Custom Playbooks
As previously noted, the missing play issue has been fixed. At the time of the last blog it was believed that all existing playbooks would be automatically fixed by this update, but we’ve learned that there are a small percentage of playbooks that are beyond repair and will need to be deleted. If you’ve never experienced a problem with your Custom Playbook feel free to continue using it as normal, but if you have had an issue prior to Title Update #2 try the playbook again. Before using the previously existing playbook you will need to first resave the playbook, once you do that you will be able to take it in-game. If everything works great, then your playbook problems are solved. If not you will need to delete that playbook and create a new one.
One other note about previously existing custom playbooks, once you resave the playbook the audibles will be reset to default. You will need to reset your custom audibles in order to use them in-game.
Tendencies
The fix to the issue where a player’s tendency changed when that player was edited still does not negate any previously edited roster file. The fix will be applied to both those existing files, as well as any new roster file that is created.
If you are in a Dynasty or Online Dynasty you will not need to restart as long as your Dynasty is still in year one and you have not advanced past “Training Results” in the off-season. If you are before this point, the update will be applied to your existing Dynasty/Online Dynasty and the tendencies will be correct for all players going forward. If you are in year two and beyond, the tendency issue impact will be less and less as the players graduate/are cut from the rosters.
In addition to the tendencies issue, we have also included both the ability to edit height and weight for players, as well as the option to edit the rosters of CPU controlled teams. In an Online Dynasty the commissioner will have the ability to edit the rosters for other human controlled teams. These were both big requests from you in the community.
Finally, a bug was fixed with the profanity filter that was preventing many common names from being entered. Now, any name can be entered, for offline use. A profanity filter is applied to Online Dynasty when the Dynasty is created. If you prefer to opt out of this filter, you can set the Dynasty to Private and the profanity check will not run.
Freezes/Crashes
A major focus for this Title Update was to address any freezes/crashes that were found. There were a number of these issues fixed in this Title Update including a crash that occurred when there were multiple TeamBuilder teams in an Online Dynasty, as well as a crash that occurred during the downloading of an Online Dynasty file. Also an issue was fixed where a roster file could become corrupt, causing a crash at the Press Start screen.
