If NCAA Football were even close to the quality MLB the Show is then I wouldn't care but it's not.

Re: BCS Will Continue as the Postseason Format For All Years of Dynasty in NCAA Footb

I don't know why the "we dont know how it works" excuse is being used so much. Even I know how it works. They have released enough basic information like the 2014 national championship site, the dates of 2014 playoffs and bowl rotations and tie ins, what the committee will value, and name and logo possibilities. Sports Illustrated even did a simulation with D1 athletic directors showcasing what the committee will value in their selection.

The basic framework that has been agreed on and known since 2012 is that: (from the BCS website) Among the factors the committee will value are win-loss record, strength of schedule, head-to-head results, and whether a team is a conference champion.

The only thing that is legitimately unknown is who will be on the committee. But that isn't really relevant in a video game anyway. The selection committee in the game will be a bunch of numbers and equations. Rank the teams based on w/l, sos, head to head, and conference champions and throw it in dynasty year 2.

EA, IMO, had a chance to really add something that would get me legitimately excited to play a game I feel is stale. But they took the safe route, yet again, choosing to stay status quo instead of going all out in this final year before next gen.

I'm not shocked by their excuse but as I've been with this gen of football gaming, I'm still disappointed.

the problem with that explanation is how can you accurately depict a selection committee. if its simply concrete data or a formula that the committee will be using then why would they have a committee. its going to be a subjective analysis of everything. so how exactly would they replicate that perfectly accurate anyway? theres no concrete formula for picking the teams for the ncaa tourney, yet they still had the ncaa tourney back when they did college basketball games right?

go with the media and coaches rankings and call it a day or keep the bcs standings and pick those top 4 teams for the playoff. the excuse that we wont do that because it wont be accurate is hogwash. because if you keep the current system then after one season it wont be accurate too. its a bs decision on their part, but not surprising.

they dont deserve a pass for this, theyre not going to announce the national title site 10 years in advance, does that mean we wont have multiyear dynasties either? ea doesnt deserve a pass for this in any way whatsoever.

I think this is right - it's not that they couldn't create a playoff based on the top 4 teams in the current BCS rankings and have a playoff.......it's a new feature that will get people to buy the game next year. They'll also tie it in with the new consoles and trumpet a new era for the franchise.

Wow, at some if you for blaming ea for stealing your money. That has got to be the worst excuse I have heard of. You made the conscience decision to buy the game not ea, you have no one to blame but yourself.

Seriously. They don't "rob" anyone of their money. I've been one of the people who's been very hard on EA and this game, but, they don't force anyone to buy this. You make the effort to walk into the store and hand the cashier 60 bucks after complaining on these boards in the months leading up to.

Blame no one but yourselves for cheating you out of your money. It's like eating McDonald's everyday then blaming the company for your weight gain problem..

Now onto the subject of this playoff system, any rational person would have known it wouldn't be in the game this year. I understand the majority of you had your hopes up, but it's time you start thinking realistically. You knew they were gonna say exactly this, and you should know the playoff system will be a big dynasty feature for them on the first next gen game

All of you saying you won't buy it, still will; Then you'll be on here claiming EA put a gun to your head and made you buy it. It's a vicious circle here

Ppl are disappointed by this? Why? I just don't see how anyone would have remotely expected a playoff option in this year's game. At some point you have to stop blaming EA. It's not their fault fans continue to raise their hopes too high regarding this series. Speak with your wallets! But like I've said before we are all addicted to football and that is why it will be impossible for many ppl to leave this game alone. Personally if I was able to refrain from buying Codemasters crap Formula One game (my fav sport by far) I can refrain from buying this, but I do understand how hard it is to resist and EA knows this as well. If you're unhappy with the series and you still buy the game everything you say means nothing. Took me a while to understand that. Addiction is real lol.




Edit: Great post by Gosens6 above mine
