NCAA Football 12 Title Update #2 - Waiting on Approval From Microsoft and Sony

[Critical Kills]

I'm sick of waiting too, cmon Microsoft!

EA seriously needs to move up on the July release dates. It's way to soon. When you are on a tight schedule, the product turns to crap. Also it is way to early to pump up college football. release it August 12th and Madden In sept. That way all the bugs are minimal, and all the roster movements are updated for Madden. I never understood the July release date. It's right smack in the middle of baseball season. Not that it really matters to me, but you would hit more of your demographic later in the summer when people start shifting their minds towards the pig skin.

Either that or go the other way and release it a month earlier. I don't care if EA works on it until December, I just don't believe they'll catch the bugs and glitches that the fans, especially like the ones here, will catch as they sit down and play it. Release the game at the start of June, and then hopefully by August, Patch #2 will be out, and we can enjoy the game as close to bug free as possible by the time the first college football game rolls around.

I fail to understand your logic. How does that give them any more time to make the product better? If you release NCAA 2012 in July, and NCAA 2013 in July... that's a 12 month window to work with. If you release NCAA 2012 in August and NCAA 2013 in August... that's a 12 month window to work with. Changing the release date does nothing except give you an extra month for ONE release of the franchise. What would it fix the following year?

Now, as to your point that the release date should be closer to the start of the season, that I agree with. But as far as it making it easier to fix bugs, that literally makes ZERO sense.

You really think they don't notice these bugs? Every single one of us sat down and noticed many, many issues within 24 hours of owning it. They've had it for months and months, and you think they simply don't notice it?

Fact is, they do notice it, but don't have the time or skill to fix it correctly.

And you don't forget one valuable thing... Money.

Also, my game freezes constantly, and the online dynasty in which I bought it for doesn't work. Is that being "too picky"? Oh, nevermind... IT'S A GAME!!! WOOHOO!

[romeosdistress]

it works for me. froze once. they did some poisitive things too. fixed pass coverage, fixed the kicker rating problem in dynasty. recruiting is more smooth, rating seem better. trade it in toward soemthing else if you dont like it. there is plenty of positives about this game. yet they will never be mentioned. i think its a huge improvement over the year before. as for online dynasty not working. i have no clue what you're talking about.
