NCAA Football 12 Patch #2 Now Available

[JeffHCross]

I just want what I saw 2 weeks ago

I know what you mean.

That was the first thing we tried... that did nothing unfortunately. Still get FAILED when I try to do anything which pretty much sums up EA's game at this point... GAME FAILED!!!

Keyser, what point is it failing on? Is it always (or regularly) the same point in the transfer? That sounds a little bit like the problem PS3 ODs had last year for a week or so, but only certain dynasties were affected. It was, unfortunately, a server side problem.

I am on a 360 and it is happening when I try to back out of the PLAYERS LEAVING EARLY. I get a TRANSFER FAILED message and my only 2 choices are to RETRY NOW or EXIT OUT OF DYNASTY. I have attempted to retry over 300 times now and when I exit and come back into dynasty I am back in the same place and in an infinite loop! LOL

So how many people are like me and dead in the water with their OD?

I know QUITE a few were before the patch. It's disheartening that there are some post patch as well.

We had zero issues like this PRE-patch... its the patch that has screwed us. Normally I think spending a lot of time on a forum bitching about a game is a total waste of time... HOWEVER, when they break the game so that I can't freaking play it, it becomes a whole different deal! This is PATHETIC MAN, make the freaking game WORK is all I am asking at this point! Forget about the cannons or the focking mascot game, please spend some time MAKING THIS THING WORK!!!!

This patch is like taking your car in because its making strange noises and not accelerating right but when you get it back out of the shop it now no longer even STARTS!!! Wonderful!

In the past we use to be able to backup our dynasties by saving them to our hard drives, why on earth did EA remove that feature? Did they figure it was too useful and practical for their product so they pulled it for some other feature that doesn't work and is not wanted?

ya everyone i'm talking to is having fun with the game and thought the patch would only make it even more fun...instead if they don't fix the game within 2 weeks everyone will quit...and like myself probably won't be purchasing the game until after the pro season starts in 2012 in order to better evaluate the product

I am, I've been able to do this...another OD member has the OD saved on his HD. He loads it up and starts the od, then invites me and transfers commish duties to me.

The problem with this route is, you loose all the previous info. Coaching stats, other OD members, so everyone that joins up now is basically start from scratch, recruiting, wins vs losses, etc... annoying.

come on EA NCAA 12 team, work it out, and soon.

[keyser soze]

Man, I just want a freaking UPDATE on where they are in fixing the BROKEN part of the game so we can simply PLAY IT!!! LOL.... I honestly never thought the day would come that my #1 wish list item would be to fix the code/server/whatever so that I can simply PLAY THE GAME! Seriously, this is baffling to me and I do wish they would NOT have the sole rights to the NCAA stuff. Personally, the college atmosphere part of the game (which is what I like) is only appreciated if I can play in a dynasty. Now that dynasty is broken there is nothing left to do but bitch at the makers and owners of the license. This is truly ridiculous. While I am a firm believer that you can never please everyone and there will always be stuff to complain about that is subjective in a video game (like LBs jumping or ball trajectory) having a game that is 2 months old and has been patched TWICE now that doesn't even WORK is appalling. At the very least they SHOULD be giving daily updates on the situation.

In the analogy I used earlier, if I was to buy a new car and the car wasn't running quite right so I take it in to be fixed and after the "fix" it no longer will even start, I would DEMAND constant updates on the progress of fixing the car that RAN before they touched it. Come on EA, do something right here. How about a little customer support and PR?

Simply i just want the game fixed, but since i dont run no huddle all i have to do is re do my playbook and while laborsome its nothing too bad.Im really still enjoying the game and its better than Madden.The truth is NO ONE can out bid EA for the exclusive license.

Well at least you get to play the game... I am in season 5 of an OD and we were having a GREAT time. We only just both hit the NC game for the first time in year 4 and if/when injuries actually WORK, I believe it possible for one or both of us to miss future NC games. Game is FUN when/if we can actually get it to freaking WORK! LOL... pathetic.

All non-Patch #2 discussion has been moved to this thread since it centers around questions regarding community feedback and implementation in the franchise.


Let's keep this thread on task surrounding Patch #2, any issues that have emerged or were not addressed and also the OD Transfer issue(s).

[mnguy]

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.

The thing is, I bought it even though I knew there would be issues, but I also expected EA would be able to FIX them, not makes them worse....obviously I was wrong...

accidental post nothing to see here

so any word from EA on fixing this? I really thought they would have it fixed by now if it truly is a server side problem.... have we heard anything?

I have not heard anything from EA regarding not being able to load an OD. That said though, Solidice (respected poster here & OS) said that when he asked about that in the past, he was told that it's an issue with the server no longer being able to find your OD in your locker and that the only way to fix it is to have one of your OD members download the OD and then re-load it with them as the commissioner, invite everyone back, then transfer the commissioner duties to you. Here's his full post...

last year when that happened to me(getting that message while just trying to access it), I was told it was because I no longer had the OD files in my EA locker(or where ever the OD info is kept) and thus will never be able to get back in. so I had to get one of the other OD members who could access the OD to save the file and re-up it with him as commish.

can't say if the same situation for NCAA 12 though. but a way around it for me last year was to always save a copy of the OD file to my HD when it prompt you to after advancing, never got that message again. I did get it a few times within the dynasty, but never when trying to load it.

Let me know if you need additional instructions on how to go about doing this.

We've tried that in my OD and it didn't work. We are basically stuck in bowl season. Now, since the patch, none of us can even get in to the OD. We are all getting an "Online Dynasty is unavailable" when we try to log in.

Is anyone able to get past bowl season now in their OD's?

I might be wrong but I think keyzer is getting the Transfer Failed error whenever he tries to load his OD... the above work-around should work. As for yours, I don't have any additional knowledge of that one. Can anyone else comment that they're getting that same error message?

[razorback44]

I apologize, I just remembered that we are actually in week 3 of recruiting where we have gotten stuck. I was out of town this weekend and wasn't around for all of this going down. However, now that I'm back, I can't log-in either.

We originally weren't able to save any of our bowl results but that was before the patch. We just decided to push past that despite having to sim all of the games. We were in the process of doing offseason when the patch came out and now suddenly none of us can even get in to the game.

We're currently waiting to see if EA fixes the issue which I am assuming is server side but I am beginning to wonder if we shouldn't just start over. We were only at the end of season 1 so it wouldn't be to big of a loss.
