IIRC, training week is where they correct the tendency issue. Thought maybe that could be where the issue is, but looking back in thread it looks like your still on players leaving.Quote:

I just checked... its still broken... LOL, anyone know if there is any hope for this any time soon? Can they please at least DELETE the patch? LOL
So what's the story on the servers being messed up today? I've had dynasty members saying they can't log in at all and have tried all day
EDIT: For XBox

Played my first game post patch. Ran for over 300 yds with my rb and another 80 with my QB. It's only one game so I'm not freaking out but that seems out of whack. If it happens over the next 5 games I'll adjust sliders.
Have to admit though...I enjoyed it. I was getting frustrated by my crappy offense. :D

I am quoting you but not really commenting on your post (if that makes sense). I think you'll find on this site is most people speak their true feelings but the difference is most people 'choose' to like the game b/c that's the best option.Quote:

I don't think anyone buys the game to hate it, but I think when people plunk down money because of new features they are told will be in the game and said features do not work they get upset.
True...rightfully soQuote:

All I can play is my one online teambuilder-multi users dynasty and even than, the games will feel chintzy because you are either avoiding doing something wrong or trying not be beat by the mistakes made by the patch...right now, i kind of have half the same feeling I did when my NCAA 11 was stuck in my YLOD'd PS3. I cant use it, ......this is kind of a big fall for such a -Huge)))- ad campaign. network promotion and sponsership. A weekly show,.. ads during games...come on, pick up the ball and run with it !!!! in other words, get to fixing this ASAP !!!
play now is way easier than dynasty for some reason FYIQuote:

It wasn't a big deal, but I noticed it was doing this prior to the patch. Almost like it was saving and over writing the default "50 sliders" and making the previously loaded OD sliders the new default sliders.
Anyone else see this?

I also think it would be cool if they documented on their show. That would alteast show me they do have some concern when it comes to their customers. I've yet to see or hear of a post from EA saying, they understand this patch didn't exactly "improve" the situation. If they fix it, then show a behind the scenes show on ESPNU about scrambling to get the game back under control and then successfullying doing so, that would be kinda cool.
Maybe that's asking for too much drama, but it would be nice to see.
When your cable goes out, or your power goes out or anything big stops working they will say things on the radio, internet, or have an automated message saying something to the effect of, "we are aware of the current outage in your area and working diligently to get things repair in a timely manner".
It would be nice to see something from EA. Maybe they have already released a statement and I'm just not seeing it, but it would atleast make me feel better as a paying customer to know they are alteast addressing it.
It was actually a dynasty game. Way too early to adjust anything yet. ...but something I'll have to watch.Quote:

Power, yeah, that would warrant some announcements and mentions on the radio here. Cable just struck me as really odd. :DQuote:

If custom playbooks aren't gonna be fixed, I think I'm trading in NCAA 12.
Is it really that hard to ignore the formations? I mean, seriously? Having a few extra formations certainly isn't the end of the world if it actually fixes the issues with CPB.Quote:

And the update, which took two MONTHS, didn't exactly "fix" the CPB issues we were having either; I still have unwanted 4 Verticals plays mysteriously appearing in my book even though they were never selected.
Yeah, but should we really give EA $60, then have to fix their problems? And it's not even a full fix.Quote:

Sure, it's wasted space, but big whoop. Even someone like myself, who uses as many formations as I can fit in there at all times, I still find that I only use about half of them, at the most. So this crap of it being a huge issue because you have four formations that you don't use is just crap.Quote:

I haven't done any substantial testing but the one time I ran into this, it was only holding onto about 3 plays that I was trying to get rid of. I think if you choose a base playbook that has the a lot of the formations you want, you'll have much more success. Not saying that's how it should be, just saying that's how it is.Quote:

I don't understand this attitude mors. Let's say I drive a truck. And everyone but Ford is precluded from building trucks. So ford builds a truck that they claim is better than any truck they or anyone else has ever built so I go ahead and buy the truck and it only turns left. You can look at me and say well buy a car, they turn right and left or just shut the hell up you have no right to complain. You can plan all of your trips where you can make a bunch of lefts to get to the same place.Quote:

The point is, I shouldn't have to constantly figure out workarounds for all of the different ways that EA breaks the game they brag about so much.
To be fair, a truck costs thousands upon thousands of dollars. Depending on the buyer's job (and the truck), potentially an entire yearly salary. So you're talking about two drastically different scales of purchase.Quote:

The way I see it, here's a lesson for all you people complaining about your $60 being wasted. Don't buy the game! Either don't buy it at all and save yourself from your inevitable bitching year after year, or a novel idea, wait for a week or two before buying it, or rent it first. After the community got it's hands on the game and started picking it apart with a fine tooth comb, that's when issues with the game finally started to come to the surface.
How about just not buying the game right away or renting it, and you'll find out about all of the issues with the game within a matter of days or a week, and you'll then be able to decide if you want to spend that $60 or not. No one is putting a gun to your head and forcing you to buy the game on release day year after year. And if waiting a couple days or a week to buy a video game is too much or too hard for you do or achieve, you have much bigger issues, such as a lack of self-control, than wasting $60 on a video game.
Agreed about the scales of purchase, but the point remains the same, when you lock out a segment of any kind of market, you better be prepared to deliver the goods, or receive a ration of shit from your consumers. I won't ever call out you guys on what you do at the site, I enjoy visiting (obviously lurking with my post count), but EA deserves no leniency on their lack of quality assurance when it comes to their football titles. Unfortunately, that starts at the top and the most visible face, and the one who throws himself out there as the head of a great development team for NCAA Football 12. I would consider the development team at Tiburon average at best with the constant issues.Quote:

I'm going to disagree here. These problems are big problems but using a comparison of a truck that only turns left is silly. On NCAA it's not even close to being "unplayable" so using an example of a truck only turning left is :D:D:D.Quote:

The rest of that I agree we should push hard for the very best game around.
so we are still stuck in off season "players leaving early". My OD partner doesn't seem to be having problems at this stage but I keep getting "Transfer FAILED" every time... any suggestions?
transfer commish to him and see if he can advance itQuote:

I understand that $60 is more to some than others, but it is up to each individual to decide what they can afford. If $60 is truely an investment for you, show more restraint before you buy. Do some homework first.
Trying to equate buying a game with buying a vehicle is completely off-base and ridiculous.
I buy games because I can afford to. If my budget were tighter, I'd be more selective.
That doesn't justify how horribly the release of NCAA 12 has gone, but in the end it's the buyer who pulled the trigger. Believe me, I'm as disappointed as anyone in the way NCAA 12 has turned out. This game had so much potential and entirely too much of it has fallen short. It is a shame, but it doesn't change my life at all.
