What did I miss? Adem if you disagree with me feel free to respond. I'm not some Nazi on a power trip.

If you took it back because you know something inside EA and you aren't privy to discuss that is something else.

IMO, EA has some SERIOUS EXPLAINING to do. I also believe that absent some fact I am currently not privy to, heads should roll for this big of a mistake.

I'm under NDA, and I"m concerned I overstepped my bounds on that one. All I can really say is that it ain't the roster dude's fault. There was a fuck up higher on the food chain. The rosters are there, they just didn't make the disk for some reason.

So would it be wise for me to start updating my rosters now for NCAA 09 and upload those into my locker for those that don't want to buy NCAA 2010?

 

[adembroski]

Adem, has the game gone "gold" (final) yet?

I'm assuming it probably has. If so short of delaying release (never going to happen) I'm guessing they have to figure out a patch (once again).

I don't know, but it sounds to me like they could replace the rosters if it weren't for the fact that they'd have to wipe every CaS on TB if they did. They're trying to figure out a solution that'll allow them to not wipe TB. I don't know if they're willing to wipe TB if necessary or not.

i dont understand this problem. Dont most guys use a created roster anyways? does it matter what rosters are shipped with the game? its just player numbers being used as names.....same as always....right?

Wipe Team Builder and putn the correct rosters on the disk..that is what I would do.

The problem is most of the players aren't in the game (allegedly). So instead of just editing names of players, we'd have to create the players as well.. which means online lobby games will be impossible with accurate teams (since you can't use created players in that game mode).

 

[Proof21]

Sam Keller you putz. You had a cry at Arizona State cause you got benched and then didn't do a great deal at Nebraska and no way in hell where you going to the NFL.

So what do you do instead of bagging Groceries you think fuck it, i'm going to sue EA and they can pay me cause they put a player in that may or may not have been me.

You limp wristed nancy boy. Fuck You.

Sounds like it was EA's fault and not Keller's though he is still a dumbass.

I don't understand how the rosters in the game and on teambuilder are connected. Why can't they just fix the rosters for in the game and leave the teambuilder one as it is? I don't care if those are bad...

thats what I don't understand. I haven't looked into this game much but what is the new team builder feature that they are blaming the rosters on?

When you download a team from TB, it checks the roster that's being used for that team to set the depth chart. If the downloaded roster doesn't match the default, on-disk roster, there wont be a valid depth chart and the download will fail or the game will crash.

ohhhhh, that makes sense


wipe teambuilder then, even though it took me effing forever to make my main team cause they gave us shitty roster editing options, I can redo all that in less time before release, than it will take for roster ppl to fix this post release

 

[DSpydr84]

I'd laugh if raczilla was somehow to blame for this.

 

[adembroski]

LMAO the more I think about the pickle EA PUT THEMSELVES IN the more I laugh uncontrollably.

If they don't figure something out and fast they have 2 BAD options:

(1) Piss off the undoubtedly numerous Team Builder guys that don't really care all that much about the rosters and worked hard on their schools. or

(2) Piss off everyone else by sending a game with horrible rosters;

Perhaps I'm evil but I hope EA has to chose between #1 and #2.


Adem a question perhaps you can respond to. Do you know what process (if any) EA has for testing/checking for these type of issues/mistakes?

In medicine before a surgery they often but a big "X" on the leg, arm, etc.. of where they need to operate. They also do utensil counts at the end of surgery to ensure all the tools are accounted for and not still inside the patient before sewing him/her back up.

Does EA have anything like that in place? If they do, whoever is doing it is doing a bad job. If they don't they really should hire someone to be in charge of this or have "time outs" every so often for the entire team to get together and check the entire game inside and out to make sure nothing is messed up before adding in something else.

I have no idea, man. Not something I ever thought to ask.

I just looked at Fresno States roster and they have 2 QB's who aren't even on our real roster. Made Ryan Mathews white, and the other two RB's aren't real RB's on our roster. That's where I stopped and realized I'm not buying NCAA this year.

 

[adembroski]

I'll tell you what the fuck up on a higher food chain is: Sam Keller's lawsuit!! That is the cause for this.EA did this crap on purpose IMO....just think about it

I don't need too. I know. If it was about Keller, we'd have generic rosters across the board. As it stands, Notre Dame's roster looks just fine, as one example. It is very clear if you look at enough teams that this wasn't a purposefully screwed up roster, it's a roster that was taken from 09 and never finished.

Teams in bad shape include teams with no freshmen, with graduated seniors from last year, and players in between who were unknown last years but became stars and haven't been progressed. I'd say that's a pretty clear indication as to what caused this. It was a roster file that was in the process of being updated, as some teams are done, some are not.

As long as the rosters are completely customizable, who gives a fuck?

OK, so you have wait a few more days to get rosters, but if the rosters are done by the right guys, the rosters could be better than the rosters EA puts out stock.

Until the rosters are no longer customizable and the starting roster is "locked", the NCAA series isn't dead.

However, if it is...if Madden pulls through with improved gameplay and with NHL coming out in September...fawk an NCAA, I'll play something else.

I hope everyone associated with Sam Keller makes his life a living hell for this.
