NCAA Football 12 Patch #2 Now Available

[Bamafan3723]

-Fixed an issue with Custom Conferences where the conference schedule would not be generated properly if a TeamBuilder team was used in a conference with protected rivals.

This issue has not been fixed. I tested it out by importing my TeamBuilder Alabama squad into dynasty. In the first season, Florida had been removed from the schedule and replaced with Kentucky which is incorrect. All my OOC games were also scheduled in the frist 4 weeks of the season and all conference games were locked into place for 8 straight weeks leaving no chance to schedule an off week in the conference season. So I simmed to year two and both LSU and Auburn did not rotate correctly. I played LSU at home and Auburn on the road in year one, and in year two I once again was scheduled to play LSU at home and Auburn on the road. Also, Vanderbilt was scheduled after my game against Auburn. So the schedules do not generate correctly even after the patch. I also checked to see how the schedules would look if you turned off "protected rivalries", and in year one I was scheduled to play 9 conference games.

So I'm not sure what EA did to test this supposed "fix", but it didn't take long to find out it didn't work.

Sim clock is not fixed, playing as a DC and I watched my offense. They ran a play and when it left to the dim screen there was 4:24 on the clock and :32 on the play clock. Clicked watch play again and ad they are breaking the huddle the clocks are the same. Not accounting for time in the huddle

I have been an ea supporter here as you all know, but they are breaking my spirit. I love the game, but ea has dropped the royal jewels on this. I don't even know what was tested and/or certified. Its amazing to me that this bull took 2 months to work on and nobody fixed anything. At this point take 12, take your next game cycle, fix it to a working game, and call it 13. I'm sick of new stuff that doesn't work. SICK

I can agree with the sentiment here.

For 13, I'd like to see gameplay improvements (as usual), a Special Teams overhaul, and then have everything else work properly and efficiently.

Cleaning up the existing features is far more important than adding new ones, IMO.

LOL, but you do realize that they can't "clean up features" without breaking ones that work now right? I believe its easier to hype NEW features and then have them not work at all.... when you set back and take an honest look at this year's game I think you would have a hard time coming up with a bigger possible debacle. Virtually NOTHING works!!! It's amazing to me actually, even for EA's track record.

[keyser soze]

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?

gschwendt, I can load my OD, I get stuck AFTER I attempt to keep my players from leaving early. When I try to back out of that screen (after pitching time to keep my 7 players from leaving as SO(RS)) I get a TRANSFER FAILED message with only 2 options. Option 1) Retry Option 2) Exit out of dynasty.

I have hit the RETRY option over 500 times now. I haven't attempted bypassing this all together and just waiving bye-bye to all my underclassmen yet but I might have to. This totally sucks though because ALL of my running backs are in that group, EVEN MY BACKUP is leaving for the freaking PROS! LOL. Kinda would like to keep at least ONE HB for next year! LOL

I have no idea if it will work or not, doubtful but if you're willing, it's at least worth a shot. But try transferring your commissioner duties to someone else in the OD. Then, you do your Players Leaving, and see if it doesn't work. Again, I'm almost doubtful that it will work but it's worth a shot.

All that said, you're the first I've heard about a Players Leaving Transfer Failed error... the three I had heard about before were the Bowl Games, Regular Season games at random, and the commissioner not able to load the OD.

[Oneback]

The thing that concerns me the most about all of this is that we haven't heard from EA directly about these issues. None of us, game changers and community day guys should have to be guessing about how to fix these issues.

It's time to hear from EA, even if they don't know how they are going to fix them yet there needs to be some sort of communication to acknowledge the problem. I'll wait for steps to fix the issue in later blogs.

G I'm not sure if this will help or not but this is the error that everyone in my OD is getting. We are currently on week three of offseason recruiting. When you try to sign in to the OD it kicks you out of the OD login screen and gives you this message. If you try to access the OD through the online dynasty page it just sits there at the "retrieving online dynasty" page and never actually loads anything. Just wanted to pass this along to you in case anyone asked for specifics on what we are talking about.

[JBHuskers]

That's the same error that Steelerfan is having in our little 4-man OD.

Yes... that is the one that the solution I posted from Solidice would actually "fix". You would need to have one of your OD members try to access the OD and then make sure they save the week's save file. Then, go into File Management, and Load the save file for your OD. That will then create a copy of your OD with that person as the commissioner. It will put you at the beginning of the week that they have a save file for. You would then want to be sure that everyone retire from the previous OD and/or you retire from it as the commissioner.

Hope that helps.

Exactly. Every time EA announces a "new feature," I puke in my mouth just a little. After a solid decade of disappointment, it's become reflex.

So you don't gag anymore ...cool.

Sorry I couldnt resist.

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

Keyser, sorry for not replying to this earlier ... meant to. I can't tell if you're talking about on load or on advance. The issue we had last year on PS3 was repeated "Transfer Failed" messages upon advance. Always at the same point in advance. I heard the 360 had a similar problem last year, but on the PS3 this problem stretched for days. That was a server-side problem.

[ram29jackson]

just please fix the game...I like both this and madden in ways but this game was so much better against randoms on line...there was time to throw, things you read made sense and happened as you thought they might... Madden is just a nano/speed cheese fest unless you play buddies online.. NCAA had/has character in comparison...dont let football season go to waste, this is when you want to play the darn thing the most

My issue is that I can't pass by the "players leaving early" part of the game. I can bring up my players who are leaving early screen, I can put time up to pitch them to stay, but when I try to back out of the screen the game tell me TRANSFER FAILED and only allows me to retry or back out of the dynasty all together. I have already switched commissioners, this did not help. Next step is to have the commish boot me out all together and reinvite me back in.

[JerzeyReign]

This is a very serious question, no sarcasm. What did the patch actually fix?

[oweb26]

In the most serious answer I can give you, not too much. LOL

It did fix the QB speed on the options, I personally haven't gotten the transfer failed thing anymore. Outside of those couple of things I really don't know.

what do you mean by this? I use to be able to run the power option out of pistol and shotgun but now I can't because the QB runs towards the OT every time like he is running the READ OPTION. So for me it broke those plays which isn't the end of the world since my new "EA bar" is simply to have a game that I can FREAKING PLAY AND ADVANCE!!! LOL

Keyzer,

This is what I had to do pre-patch when I was stuck like yourself, totally retire from the dynasty, the other player should be able to then go into the file management and restart it using his file, and then transfer the commish duties back to yourself. I am 99% certain this will work, but just to be safe have him advance it before you get in. Downside is all your records will be reset, and your promises will be locked again, upside is after the season if you meet all the previous promises they will unlock all the others one again.


This has worked for me also but isn't full proof, start another OD(if you can) and simply advance it to like week 2 ,, that got me out of the stuck phase a couple of times. Hope any of this helps.

I could have told you the commish transfer wasn't going to work though.
