Well, you just cancelled me picking it up. No real schedules, no sale. That's just ignorant. Turned me off from last year's game as well. I wonder if you can name all the players this year, is anyone even going to attempt it to find out.

I don't think that they dare to not allow you to enter all the names this year. People were pretty upset about it last year.

It was memory limitations last year, that was EA's reasoning. Remember, this game is made on the PS2 and then ported to the Xbox. I'm sure someone is already trying, so we'll find out soon enough. If it was me, I would start naming every guy like A, and then see if you eventually hit a wall. Last year it was around 300 players. 323 or something?

if it was memory limitations im sure that it will be the same again this year cuz they added some new graphics and features

I went into NCAA Tournament mode and I played Kentucky vs E. Kentucky matchup in the first round and it was a generic court. It had the NCAA logo in the middle with Blue keys. This was not dynasty mode so that could be different but I don't think so.

Scott, your idea about Mr. "A" is a good one. What was doubly frustrating about last year's limitation is that no one knew it at first, and when you would type one place beyond all of your previous work was lost (at least that happened to me).

Some people could've lived with the limit had they known not to exceed it at first.
