Anybody else have this happen? It's your first game of the season and you're playing a San Diego State -caliber team (in my case, San Diego State). You don't even know what your team team is going to be good at, since you haven't practiced a game, yet you play the game anyway. Oh, and you also decide to try a new defensive scheme which you've never run before. Hey, it's only SD State...
Then you almost lose! Your D can't get stops when they need it, you can't find open WRs, can't find holes for your HB. Then, to top it off, you lose your mobile 95 QB in the 4th quarter to an injury. Later you find that he's going to be out for 11 weeks! In other words, absolute bullshit.
I was lucky to win the game by tossing a long TD pass with my backup QB to a WR with 30 seconds left to get to OT. Then another TD pass to the same WR in OT and later a FG to seal it in OT. Unbelievable, SD State, unbelievable...
After this and losing to Bama last season, I'm definitely not taking the CPU opponents for granted anymore no matter how bad they suck on paper.
Anybody else have a similar upset or near-upset story?

Man, not even a "hey, it happens to everybody" or a "happens to everybody but most are smart enough to restart", huh? Guess I'm in a league of my own.

I'm sure through all the seasons we've played all of us have had those types of games. I know I've lost my best player for the season a few times!! I'm proud of you for not restarting, that had to be a hard decision!!!

I had LSU, so can't say it was too easy, but the offense is still a bit sore. I really hate how inaccurate of a QB I have, but I don't really like scrambling that much, so it's not like I'm even using his strength. Maybe I will start going all Mike Vick out there and just taking off. Beats over-throwing wide opening players by 10 yards all the time.

Seems like even the accurate QBs have more misses in NCAA 12 than they would have had last year. A bit frustrating, I agree.

I do believe the patch notes said accuracy would be addressed. However, I do also believe that I saw that no changes would affect any dynasties that were already in Year 2 or more. F Off

So are we going to keep going with the broke dynasty or are we restarting the dynasty?

So are we going to keep going with the broke dynasty or are we restarting the dynasty? We will have to restart if it doesn't fix our problems, which just kills the game for me.

games being simmed after they've been won by users, only to show up as losses is the biggest thing.

I don't really mind sticking with this current file, though if it does happen again (the patch isn't supposed to be out for almost two weeks anyway) I do say we restart. Until that point, I say we see how things go. I know my sentiment won't mirror everyone's, but I'm alright with chalking up that first season as a lost one due to issues anyway, plus we were all just learning how to work things. Soon enough we'll all be going undefeated outside of user games anyway, so I'm not too concerned over what happens now. Again, it's only my opinion anyway. I generally like to see how things start to go once all default players are gone.

seems silly that the patch wouldn't work for the whole game..
