Apparently never.

The boys over at Operation sports are saying it could get delayed til September...

EA even fails at failing.

EA releases a product and that has numerous bugs in it. They know they need to release a patch to fix the bugs with custom playbooks, and other problems, but will address it almost a two months after release? I know it takes time to get everything correct for the developers to get it right, but updates on the progress of fixing the bugs would be greatly appreciated. At least give the consumers an explanation, instead of leaving us in the dark. Paying $60.00 is not a lot to some people, but the time and effort to get games in, only to get disappointment in online play really is freaking annoying.

Ever since announcing the outline for the upcoming NCAA Football 12 patch at the beginning of August EA Sports has been quiet as to when it would arrive. Originally stated to be out by the end of the month it appears that is now unlikely to happen and it will be slipping into September.

In the first update on the patch since August 2nd EA stated today that it has now cleared through internal testing and has been submitted to Microsoft and Sony. Generally the hardware certification process can take up to two weeks. The delay in submission is being attributed to including additional stability fixes to improve the experience.

NCAA Football 12 released with a myriad of severe issues plaguing the new features such as the custom playbooks, console freezes, Online Dynasty problems, and player tendencies being swapped in edited rosters.

Joyus day... this might be ready by time season 23 kicks off.

Did EA ever acknowledge that some people have major connection issues, and did they ever say anything about whether this patch is supposed to address any of those issues?

That is the PR way of saying it.

It's hilarious that I can play Madden online fine, but NCAA is just a total mess. They need to can the NCAA development team.

Well I contacted the live chat today. He has no idea when this #2 patch will come out.

Mukul: Hi, my name is Mukul. How may I help you?
stiffler1705@aol.com: Hi Mukul, Im sure your getting alot of questions regarding the NCAA patch number 2. I was curious if there is a release date for this or is that still yet to be determined.
stiffler1705@aol.com:
I am currently in a league, where we have 120 coaches, right now we have about 20% that can't even complete a game. We are hoping the patch will fix this problem. They are able to play madden online without any problems. But put in NCAA and no luck completing an online game.
Mukul: May i know which NCAA you are playing?
stiffler1705@aol.com: We are on the PS3.
Mukul: I would like to tell you that whenever there will be any patch, you will be prompted once you will go online.
stiffler1705@aol.com: All of these guys are able to play other games online (including EA games), just not the NCAA version. We have tried everything in regards to getting them connected. Hahaha, I understand that how the patch system works, that when you sign into the psn you ll be prompted there is a patch. Howeva, I was wondering if they have told when the release date is?
stiffler1705@aol.com:
We ve paid a good amount a money for a game we cant utilize online.
Mukul: I understand but since we do not have any update regarding the patch, i will not be able to give you the exact date.
stiffler1705@aol.com: Im sure you understand our frustration. I think its terrible EA hasnt updated the public (these are the people buying the game) on when the #2 patch is coming out.

Mukul: I sincerely apologize for the difficulty you experienced while playing the game.
stiffler1705@aol.com: I understand also they dont want to let people running the live chat in on that info also. So, I understand your hands are tied in giving a response. I SINCERELY appreciate your time. Thanks


20% is a lie, but I was just trying to get a point across. So there you have it. Im still holding out hope for tomorrow.

I go overboard in getting angry on the phone and shit. So much so they hang up .

we should all contact them, 1 after another, with the same disconnect complaints. just a wave of complaints

[iRoccafella]

I'd be liable to go angry black man on them, and there wouldn't be much accomplished...
