Bugs & Glitches - NCAA Football 12 Wish List & Feedback

I fumble in OT against USC and the DE picks it up and runs to the endzone for a TD and USC wins 37-24 in double OT. However, my player hits the ground before the ball is let loose. I go to challenge and the cpu won't let me... the challenge screen is gone because the game is over as soon as the clock hits zero. I lose because of the B.S. challenge system. Then the best part... I go to instant replay after the game to see the last play AND I watch the USC offense score a TD the series BEFORE the fumble????? WTF??? Anyone else see this yet? I was really choked as this will cost me a BCS Title birth.

You couldn't challenge plays on the final play in 10 either.

Which is actually right, if memory serves, because all challenges within the last few minutes are done by the booth, not the coaches, right?

But I'm pretty sure the game itself won't trigger a challenge for the final play ... and that is a mistake either way.

There's an animation that plays for a horse-collar tackle, but it's called, and penalized as, a facemask.

I noticed that 1 of my games had the wrong home/away setting. I changed it to what it should be and backed out again. I went into Custom Schedules a 3rd time and everything was right so I backed out again and advanced. When the season started, I looked at my schedule and everything was right.

I noticed that back when I was trying out OD tests when I was still gonna do a Navy single player OD, however, I did that three times to make sure my schedule was how I wanted, and it still changed on me between the pre-season menus and Week 1.

This may have been mentioned earlier, but is still occurring after Patch #2. If you play with Notre Dame at home, using their default home uniform, or Northwestern with the same, player names are not displayed for the controlled player. I don't believe player names were displayed when using Coach Cam to look at routes either.

Changing Notre Dame to their white uniform instead of blue returns the player names.

EDIT: Confirmed with steelerfan that this also affects Dynasty.

There is a HUGE HUGE HUGE exploit with Pump Fake now. If you pump fake backwards, which causes the QB to completely turn around, it causes anyone in man coverage to come flying toward the QB, leaving people WIDE open.

Appears to only be in the 360 version though as people on the PS3 have tried it with nothing happening.

I have to admit, that's borderline hilarious.

Another pretty significant bug:

http://www.easports.com/media/play/video/30021464

Don't know if you can quite tell, but the line of scrimmage is the 49 of WVU's side of the field but Tyrod Taylor actually steps up to the 47 1/2 or so before throwing the ball, causing the receiver downfield and pretty much everyone else to think he's running the ball instead of throwing it.

He shouldn't even be able to throw the ball at that point because it would be an illegal forward pass.

Only time I had it happen, but it was pretty significant.

Player names appear with ND's green jerseys too, just for the record.

When you run audible, sometimes the OL will adjust their stance and line up at an angle.

This has been there, at least in principle, for as long as I can remember in the series. I don't think the act in general is a bug ... though in previous iterations you could only do it if you started the throw behind the line of scrimmage and your animation carried you across the line. You definitely could not get into a situation where you were across the line (thus making every AI player thinking you were running) and then could throw the ball.

Though, as I write this, I seem to recall that being a bug in at least one title last year ...

That was actually done by the CPU.

Well, the CPU would be able to do it under the same conditions as a Human player. But that's the first time I've heard of it causing the defense to read run and the QB be fully across the line before the animation started.

The countless grammatically incorrect Recruiting text reponses have been mentioned already, but here's a small error that comes up after every media upload:

Eh, that's just spelling ;)

not in 11 but i saw it in 10. 1 was a fumble. The other was acpu td pass clearly out of the endzone. Called a td on 3rd down. No replay to be shown. Needs to be fixed. This would be a terrific Tuning update IMO

Weird play just happened in my WSU dynasty. Arizona @ Wsu. Don't remember the down and distance but UA driving inside WSU 30. Middle screen is called. Flag is thrown as the qb drops back, he throws complete, and 10 yards down the field the ball is fumbled. Defense recovers and gets tackled by the last man possible after running about 7 yards the other way. The tackler, who was an O-lineman, was hurt on the play, and "we'll take a break, while the injured player is attended too", happens from Nessler. All's well and good, except that penalty flag that was thrown is never explained upon or given the option to accept or decline. A lot happened on the play, but I think the injury ultimately overrode the penalty call. That needs to be fixed, it could cost someone a game!

Stupid issue during online dynasty:

File will not upload/update to the server after 'players leaving' task during the offseason. You just get the 'transfer failed' screen with the option to 'try again' or 'exit online dynasty'.
If you skip trying to persuade the players to stay, then the file will upload and off you go like there was no problem, except that you just lost depth across your team. If you try to persuade guys to stay, the file will not upload and thus you can't continue.

Deleting files, retiring from the dynasty.....none of that works.

Here's a new one, at least to me it is.

I was playing my game in Week 6 of the Cold Dead Hands OD. I am Rutgers and I was at home against UCONN. I was leading, 27-3 with just a few minutes left and UCONN is driving. UCONN QB Zac Frazer gets injured, a cutscene of the trainers tending to him on the field is shown. UCONN runs the no-huddle after the cutscene and Frazer stays on the field. Frazer throws a TD pass on the next play and then is replaced (and does not return, strained pec - I think) for the ensuing 2 pt attempt.

Few things while I'm thinking of them:
Related to steelerfan's ... sometimes when the CPU (haven't had it against a user, but I suppose it's possible) runs a no-huddle after the cut scene ... what actually happens is that you're taken back to the standard Playcall screen. You call a play, but then the No-Huddle playcall screen pops up, and you have to choose your play again. Furthermore, after choosing your play, no button works. You might be able to pause (I don't recall if I've tried), but you can't switch players, call hot routes, or do Run/Pass Commit, until the CPU team snaps the ball.

When you're choosing an opposing player to focus on, as a defense, you're shown the receivers as if it follows your own control scheme (noticeable only if you've customized the Receiver 1 - Receiver 5 controls). Last year I noted this because if used the default control scheme, even if you'd customized it. However, this year is shows you your custom scheme ... but you have to use the default scheme. The buttons you choose are tied into the original scheme, regardless of what's displayed about the receiver. This is both a good and bad thing. You can have L2 as a receiver button, but this can't be used with the Defensive Key feature, because you're holding down L2 at the time. Either need to rethink this or return to the default control scheme display for opponents.

Recruit pitch swaying + visit bug as detailed here.

On Ace Bunch Base, there's a toss play to the left (away from the Bunch) with auto-motion. However, the split-end (WR on left) does not make a move to block until a second or two into the play. By then, the man he is supposed to block has, often, already made a play on the ball carrier. It's essentially a broken play.

The rushing totals on the OD "game details" pop up are not showing. Yards per rush and attempts and all other totals are good, just the rushing totals not showing

I played a game versus user team Memphis in an OD, however the pictures show UAB in the photos instead of Memphis... I haven't played UAB at all in this OD.

The hell?!

Another interesting note is that the UAB owner is set to Autopilot at the moment... Picture #4 I can believe as being from the game played (aside from the UAB uniform) but the others I can't say one way or another.

I just had a clipping call against my Punt Return team. Penalty occurred at the CPU 46, while I returned it to the CPU 39. The CPU declined the penalty. Now, I couldn't see the choices, so I have no idea if somehow the "Accept" logic messed up, but I can't imagine a circumstance where you would decline that penalty.

When you take a top rated transfer who should be a starter on D he is on the field for celebrations (after a big play the two defenders chest bump) even though he is not dressed/playing that season. Looks very stupid...

Just had a bug with No Huddle. It's a by-product of this bug that I mentioned previously:

If this happens after an injury (with the injury cut-scene and everything), then you can have a player that's injured (for example "Out for Game"), yet still on the field because the offense runs a no-huddle after the cutscene.

Cross-post from my "The Little Things" wishlist thread:
Pre-snap adjustments should not lead to the crowd being pumped up / quieted down, or "jump the snap" attempts occurring. This appears to be because right-stick inputs are read as controls first, then pre-snap menu inputs second.

Example: Hot route a defensive player to a deep (light blue) zone, using Right-Stick Up. He'll get hot routed, but also try to pump up the crowd. Pumping up the crowd is the normal Right-Stick Up input, but shouldn't happen while in Pre-Snap menus.

This also happens with hot routing a player to a drag (I think?) route (right stick down) on offense, and has also been reported to lead to players trying to jump the snap on defense (not sure what control does that regularly).

In the Formation Subs, for Troy's playbook, there is a formation called "Shotgun - Twin TE_Panthers". In the playbook, this is called "Wild Trojan". I have a suspicion that a lot of the custom-named Wildcat formations have similar issues.

If you choose to "Watch Next Play" in Super Sim mode in Road to Glory (or any Super Sim, I think) against a No Huddle team, you're stuck watching the play until they stop running No Huddle.

The Broadcast Cameras Highlight angle is fundamentally broken in Road to Glory. It just uses the last position of the camera (whether from during play or during another replay), pans until it finds the ball, and runs from there without moving. There are no cuts, no different angles, nothing.

If you're using the Texas book, you can Audible out of Empty Trey Flex, but not 5WR Trey Flex. Formation Audibles do work, however. But one time I used the Run Formation Audible, the play art resembled a pass play, even though it was a QB draw.

As discussed here, though I don't believe it was previously mentioned in the Bugs thread ... the generic Pistol playbook does not save audibles. Apparently, neither does Run & Shoot.

When playing users games, if you pull up coaches cam it will sometimes stay zoomed out and you can't zoom back in. Also happens if an offensive player is set in motion.

Yep. Though, most interestingly, if you happen to be playing a game against an opponent locally, and this happens, when your opponent hits his coach cam, the view will return. Was very surprised to see that.

I just chose "Instant Replay" from the post-game menu (which I'm not sure is always a choice), and instead of seeing the final play of the game, I'm watching the last play that was shown during the post-game highlights.

New one for me, Teambuilder team causing me to be unable to get past week 6 in my brand new dynasty. Has a game in week 6 that's FCS West at no one (the place where the team name should be is blank) and when you go to information, it only shows the FCS team and nothing on the other side. I've isolated it to me teambuilder team (it's my WVU Death Penalty team that I was going to make, but looks like I can't now because it's being utterly retarded).

Any ideas besides deleting that team and doing it over?

Guess I'll be recreating the team again...

Interestingly, if you exit that Replay, then go back into Instant Replay, you'll see the final play of the game as expected. Happened to me tonight when I watched the final play of the game in triple-OT that I lost because my HB was ruled to have fumbled the ball though his knee was down. I feel confident that had it not been the last play of the game, I would have retained possession.
