First Patch Info

[iRoccafella]

Well my playbook works better, and that's really the only thing that was pissing me off. I expect super linebackers and mutant dbs... Lil mad about the dynasty eff ups but from an NDL perspective I can't complain, since there's way more strategy playin you fellas than the computer.

If you haven't ever checked it out before, I would recommend taking a look at Holmey's playbook site the he helped another guy create. You can save your playbook setup there all the way down to the order of the plays in case something like this ever happens. He has really done a great job with it.

Looks awesome but once I have customized everything to my liking how then do I use it in regards to getting the actual PB online to match

You have to go in into the play book thing online, pick the formation and plays you want. Save and bingo, your set.

I've found that even hurry-up defense is fucked up, even if I'm just playing the computer. If I was in base nickle, I can't be in the 3-3-5 nickle during the hurry up, it will say I am, but only show and come up out in base. Same if I'm in Dime, I can't then chose the 3-2-6, only other base Dime.

WTF EA.

yup found this out the hard way also

question..maybe for VT..

are they working on 2013...NOW?

i would fucking LOVE to see the WHOLE process for soup to nuts or at least the timeline they use

i understand there are "technical" issues way above my comprehension but it seems if they properly took advantage of a full calendar year to include MORE THAN SUFFECIENT time for testing, they could put out a great product

shel, when you were with ea, how much prior to "gold" did you test and how long?

seems like they just test for maybe a month and the test is nothing more than a bunch of college aged kids playing each other on local ps3's talking about how cool it woul dbe to see blades of grass or some dudes hair braids

[BIGmike]

I'm willing to bet play testing has almost been completely cut out of gaming development budgets in the last 5 years or so.

[DRiccio21]

i'm not expert either but how can they make a patch and not realize the no-huddle glitch.

i played my brother in 1 online game and noticed it after one play when he went no huddle. literally took 1 play to notice it.
there is no way they don't test at all is there?

[Cnasty]

Because EA sucks and they know there is no competition and they obviously dont care and Im sure the budget restraints might play a part like Mike said.

Its unreal how bad this game is in terms of not being complete and the shit that ruins it. It also blows my mind how they had entire specials on "The Making of '12" on ESPNU and shit. Good thing online wasnt anywhere on those specials.

Ballsy.

[ajalves]

they do not care about online

ah it works offline? I assumed it didnt. Carry on ...

[Hoos]

My guess is that there is a less than 1,000 people playing online. So, yea, no huge worries about online.

This is why FIFA got so good, they had to come into the market and spent almost 10 years trying to overtake Winning 11 (now Pro Evolution) and they still have to put out a top notch product to keep that base.

We will never get a solid NCAA product again until someone starts to compete. Might be a nice business venture for the NDL

I don't know about everyone one else but if you gave me a better playing football game with no name teams ala Bill Walsh College Football and gave the oppurtunity to do large online dynasties that would be the greatest football game ever.

[nick]

how fun the NDL would be if we were a 120 team online dynasty and we had to recruit and shit too. be wild lol

It doesn't work offline either. They screwed it up for all so it might be taken care of.

its funny people think only 1000 people go online, they fixed online dynasties, they made shit in online dynasties more fun, and they added features to online dynasty like coaches carousal, but ya, like 1000 people go on.

that is because the majority of online dynasty is actually offline.

i iwsh they'd ake 2 $30 dollar games one with online modes only and one with offline only then they couldsee how many people are playing these things online

[cougnix]

They know, that's why they do it the way they do...
