Questions for EA devs on NCAA '13? Post them in here.

[Golden Taters]

How is the NCAA team preparing for the next launch of consoles within the next year or two? What is EA Sports doing to make sure the football launch title's aren't a huge step-back like they were when the Xbox 360 was originally released (Madden 06, NCAA 07)?

The NCAA special podcast with EA will be recorded this Friday. Tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon around 6PM central will be the cutoff to get your questions considered.

I can already tell you what the answer to this question is...
"We aren't allowed to discuss anything involving future consoles that may or may not exist."

Basically. Any question that is worthwhile is going to get stonewalled. I really want to know if ODs are going to actually work this year. That is really, really important. OD is the only mode worth playing in that game and it's literally a deal breaker for me if it doesn't work again. Since that question has indicted them before the game is even released, that would get stonewalled too. In retrospect, I probably wouldn't want to hear what an EA rep has to say anyways. It's best if I just wait until the community reviews it.

This is a great post. Spiker submits a question, chews on it, then answers it himself, with heightened frustration leading up to calm realization.

LOL. I write like I talk

I would say that any question that is phrased in a professional manner will get an answer. Just asking if OD "won't sux0r" this year isn't going to happen.

I would like to rephrase my question to: how difficult is it to add the ability to designate redshirt status in teambuilder instead of it just being random? Do they realize how big of a turnoff that is to fans of TB?

[SHOGUN]

One more question, have they come to a consensus on how they were going to handle adding the new uniforms post-launch?

It's been awfully quiet on that front. I really want to play with Mizzou's new uniforms this year.

[kyhadley]

Wait I'd like to rephrase my question again: how do they justify adding a new mode such as hesiman challenge when they haven't made any improvements to teambuilder since NCAA 10?

I mean I know the answer, but I want to hear them tip toe around it.

So me asking if they fire Ben Haumiller and millions of dollars that normally would go to his food budget open up..if that could be used to improve the game?...... wouldn't make the podcast?

no, b/c your question was asked after the deadline...
