NCAA Football Heading Down Generic Path (Pasta Padre)

[spence]

I'm feeling the same as husker.. I've got em all since woodson was on the cover and the franchise breaks my heart a little more every year.. However, since I love college football I keep buying. Not to mention, online play has always been too much fun. I need some accurate rosters for online play, please. It's almost like getting married, the sex was good for a while but now it's just plain awful.. for 09 I went and bought the ps2 one because that game is still fun and online for ps2 is the bomb.

LOL Cmon Born! Rock up soldier! This is non issue now that we have team builder.. I could care less about "real" roster names, they'll be gone in 2 Dynasty seasons anyway..

I don't have an issue with the rosters not being accurate.. Even though it seems easy enough to hire 4 college students to research the rosters and correct them??

My issue is that the rosters are always laced with overrated players!! You can bet your original unopened copy of jet set radio that TIM Tebow will be breakin tackles and running over people like a fullback in this yrs game....

Overrated..

I love being able to have at least 2-4 seasons of real players, but I'd much rather take real headcoaches and have a staff if that was at all possible.

Having a real/dynamic coach carousel of hiring/firing coaches would be much more suitable to college football than a few seasons of real names.

Wrong! We just started our 6th season in our OD and there were still plenty of top players who were 5th year SR's that were originals.

The only thing these lawsuits and allegations might affect are the default rosters shipped with the game, that's it. College football video games have been produced since the mid 90's, if I'm not mistaken, and it doesn't seem like the NCAA has a problem with it (I'm sure paying them an exorbitant amount of money doesn't hurt much either). As long as EA doesn't include the names, or an exact replication of who the player is and their personal information, there's nothing anyone can really do. Ever notice how a player's hometown in the game is always incorrect? Or how their height and/or weight is slightly off? That's to prevent any sort of reflection of the actual player who just might play that position who just might player for that specific team. All in all, I highly doubt there is anything anyone can do as long EA has this exclusivity license. While these rosters might be extremely flawed, be thankful that there are going to be more than a handful of roster makers working hard to create their own and put it on the EA locker, and that you actually have the ability to edit them yourself. But of course, that would require some hard work

I feel like I need to quote my own post, mostly because everyone is acting like the world is coming to an end. As long as the game has the ability to edit rosters, and the EA Locker, what is the big deal?
