That some gets paid to do a subpar job...Plus the fact the rosters that usually come with the game aren't all that accurate and those usually take 2 weeks or so for the Roster Gods to do their magic, this atrocity could take upwards of a month.

I have been buying NCAA since 2002 and since it made its debut on the next gen, created rosters have been released right around the game's release. Last year, most of the roster makers had a roster available within a day or two of the game's release. One thing I think most are forgetting is that you can edit the rosters yourself, but oh wait, that takes patience and dedication, and maybe a little perseverance.

For online ranked games (not dynasty), you have to use the default rosters which can really bug people. It's not nearly as big a deal for those that only play offline.

Read it again.

While at E3 I asked whether the rosters from Teambuilder were final and was told that they were...While I attempted to get double-verification that the rosters were final there has been no update on that which further solidifies the likelihood that they are.

PP's article is no different than the speculation we've seen here. Based on the way he phrased his 2nd statement, it also leaves some doubt as to whether he asked the only question that really matters: will the default rosters for the individual teams on the disc be identical to the ones we have already seen on the TB web app?

Pasta may well be proved 100% correct, but it has not yet been confirmed by any outside source that I'm aware of. Until it is, we're all just guessing.

As long as I can download what I need from the EA locker for offline and online dynasty and regular play offline, I'm cool. The sky is not falling.

The issue here is the wording, really. When they say the TeamBuilder rosters are "final".....final to what? Final to the TeamBuilder website? Or final as in this is game rosters in the game. There's just no clarity there, so everything to this point has pretty much been speculation based on this. I really wouldn't be surprised either way to be honest.

This really will screw up online gaming(ranked). Im not gonna get too shatty about it though unless they go totally generic and the players don't even come close to representing the real life ones.

For the first time ever, I will probably pass on NCAA. I won't be able to pick it up on release day, so I will have a few days to see what everyone thinks.

This is truly a sad time in my video gaming life.
