Huge game killer - NCAA 10 Roster Issue

[krulmichael]

By online i ment gamers with access to internet on their systems, the average gamer isn't goint to want to have to edit 119 teams to be able to play a realistic dynasty, hell the average gamer isn't goin to want to edit the 12 team in their conference to have to play a realistic dynasty

You know even if you can't go online, you can still buy a cheap USB Flash Drive and get the rosters off of the internet somewhere and put them on your system.

Thats assuming your on PS3 and assuming they have internet. Still leaving out a huge chunk of consumers.

True. Ah well, can't win em all. If you think bout it though, those ones without internet and all that jazz, probably aren't really into NCAA as much as everyone else. Or at least aren't really in the loop about the game in which they won't even know this issue until they buy the game and find out for themselves. By that time EA's essentially won.

I'll buy the game for the Mascot Mini Games.

^lol at your user title

I think I'm just gonna rent NCAA now considering by the time we get real rosters, Madden will be around the corner. This really sucks..

Essentially, online lobby/league guys are screwed. You cannot use rosters with created/edited players.

Franchise/Online Franchise guys can play with better rosters. Of course, it is going to take a month + with these rosters for anything resembling decent.

I've seen allot of people say no big deal because you can use teambuilder. This is false hope to say the least. While you could recreate a school and edit their rosters now with TB, you are limited to 12. Thus you could essentially only edit one conference and the rest of the roster would still be messed up beyond belief.

EA has been utterly silent on the issue. As a defense lawyer I would advise them not to comment at all on anything roster related given the pending litigation.

Some have asked how could Keller's lawsuit affect future rosters. While he won't directly, he will indirectly. EA won't do accurate rosters anymore due to fear of litigation (unless they win a dismissal/summary judgment in the Keller action). If they have to pay Keller or lose at trial, NCAA Football will no longer have anything close to real rosters b/c they would have to wonder how many people will sue them years later after getting out of college when they are pumping gas like Keller.

NCAA Football R.I.P.

This is where EA has the ability to make up for inaccurate default rosters. Like I posted in the other thread, they (EA) can use TeamBuilder to allow people to get a head start on roster editing. Either get rid of the limit, or start up a new site entirely devoted to allowing people to name and edit their rosters before the game drops. This way, people are able to download accurate named rosters as soon as they pop their disc in the system. It would also allow for instant feedback from online communities trying to create their own rosters.

I was hoping that this is what we'd be able to do with Team Builder this year, but of course we can't. Woulda been so much easier than doing it on the game with a controller and a USB Keyboard (if you have one). Alas, I don't see this ever happening, even more so now after all this mess.

do you guys even check your work? i am on the team builder website right now looking at florida and there is QB#15 6'3" 240 Lefty 99ovl(tebow). roster seems pretty accurate to me...

See what I mean. I didn't actually check the rosters per say, but I did see the option to pre-select your roster with other actual NCAA rosters. This is exactly why I wouldn't get too worried yet. Thank you for that bbj.

I've already done Notre Dame's roster on TB, and it's no worse than most years.

 

[krulmichael]

LOL @ CLW continuing the hating...yet you'll have the game all year long. Shutup mf'er.

 

[Proof21]

If the rosters are that screwed up it just means the first set of rosters that do come out will be bteer than the standard first set because the editors will have to change more than just the name.

Keller is a dumbass (and not really a Husker even though he played here) but I don't think this is the end of the world.

As long as they don't take out the ability to edit players...

 

[thirtydaZe]

so at any rate, if this is to be true, instead of you first season being accurate, instead of waiting 3 season to have your own team, don't youjust start out that way to begin with?

 

[DSpydr84]

Good thing I pre-ordered this P.O.S. I should see if I can cancel that now and pick up TW...

 

[bringbackjimmy]

who really cares? do you have less fun in 2013, because all the players are fake? Just get me close rosters ratings wise and i am good to go...gameplay and recruiting is what makes ncaa fun not having players with real names. Gamebreaker 97 was and is my favorite college football game and never once did i say hey you know what would make this game alot better real names.

This didn't kill NCAA. Ben Haumiller and season showdown killed NCAA. EA DOES NOT KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THE HARDCORE GAMING CORE IS. They do nothing to appeal to us anymore, instead they waste their time and energy on little ten year old Tommy who wants to score 110 points with Florida and earn imaginary points and celebrate with the gator. So what if they added game planning, they still spent the majority of their time developing the piece of shit they call season showdown. Where the fuck are formation subs, where the fuck are the 8+ missing stadiums, where the fuck is a decent running animation, where the fuck is NEXT GEN GAMEPLAY? Its no where Ben Haumiller wants to take this game.

Wow, even several people at OS are calling for pink slips to be handed out to Haumiller et al.

Man I'd kill to have 2-3 hours with each of the NCAA team in a deposition right now. That video/transcript would be instant lulz and youtube classic written all over it.

Haha I was the one who said they should fire Ben over at OS.

 

[βїģĐмợ]

I'm also surprised the Hitler video thread went on for more than an hour. As unbiased OS supposedly is, I was given 4 infractions for talking bad about NCAA. 3 of them were given to me by Countryboy, which is ironic because he is the only one who actually is excited for this game and not saying anything bad about it.

It's not even what the feature is (or isn't, whatever).. it's just the constant shit. There is always something wrong with the product. It's never even "oh, well they forgot this" it's "well, they sure fucked that up." I know there's a lawsuit, but this with season showdown, ignoring glaring gameplay issues, and not including the simplest shit we've been asking for since 2006 (as BigDmo mentioned above), this company really doesn't deserve my money. Looks like not only am I not getting Madden, but I'm not getting a football fix at all this season (unless I buy it used, which means EA doesn't make any money from the purchase).
