The Teambuilder Rosters may be final, but the Game will have DIFFERENT rosters.

[AuburnAlumni]

That's my .02.

There is NO WAY in Holy Hades that EA could royally screw up these rosters that badly in the actual game.


Now...I may believe that the Teambuilder rosters could be final...but then again...that doesn't matter much to me because you are creating fictional teams anyway. Obviously if you are simply recreating Auburn or Oregon, etc. with new uniforms..then yeah....Teambuilder rosters will blow.

But I'm willing to bet a million bucks that the actual roster in the GAME will be updated and much much different.

I mean...Good God...they have 3 guys STARTING at Linebacker for Auburn who are NO LONGER EVEN ON THE TEAM!!!!!

I simply cannot believe that the rosters in the actual game will reflect that.

Get in line AA. We're all thinking (hoping) the rosters will be different. If they aren't, it would be hideous. Actually, it would be worse than the roster crash issue of last year IMO. Then again, EA thinks we'll just edit them and la-di-freaking-da, everything will be magically delicious.

I'm praying they aren't final as well.

Its sad that we haven't gotten confirmation and since its EA we're actually scared

I've got 2-1 odds that AuburnAlumni is right.

I also have 8-1 odds that NCAA 10 will Blow
while 9-1 odds that NCAA 10 will Suck.

Any takers? :-)

I hope you are right Auburn. Otherwise the fallout and carnage on this board will be the worst thing since you removed Charlotte Church from your sig.

EA has been helped by the fact most of us either edited rosters on our own, or downloaded from EA Locker. They may be leaving this much more on our plates. Isn't it enough that we are paying $60 for the game, that we have to invest our own time in finishing the game ourselves? As I said in another post, the last couple of rosters for D 1-AA on original Xbox were generic. If the rosters are botched, it would be a move like not having correct rosters on the old gen game. The farther along you go in OD, the more you end up with generic rosters. This could be another excuse. I'd rather have correct rosters, but it's obvious there is trouble brewing with the Keller lawsuit, and the technicalities of NCAA regulations.

I'm sorry to say this but if the TB rosters are the final rosters included with the game,it will be a game killer for me. Colorado's rosters are a complete MESS. They're embarrassing to be honest. Sure i can edit their roster,but how about all the countless other wacked out teams rosters? I would never have the time to fix all those...

I hope so, the rosters I saw were pathetic.

Any confirmation would be good since the EA people have been/are here.

No comment isn't a good thing.

It could be that EA's lawyers have advised the team not to address anything about rosters. For example, one of the EA guys could accidentally state that "We have increased the arm strength of Tim Tebow." That one statement can add a tremendous amount of fuel to the fire with this Keller thing.

Thus, I am going to give EA the benefit of the doubt and not ask them about this. We'll find out in 4 weeks or so.

Re: The Teambuilder Rosters may be final, but the Game will have DIFFERENT rosters.

No. There's no reason to give them the benefit of the doubt here. There's NO reason for them to not be commenting on it. All they have to say is, "That is the same file that will be found on the final version of the game." There's nothing there that a lawyer would advise against.

Honestly, it's a damn joke and an insult to the player base. If these rosters are final I'm not buying the game, and I'm just going to wait for Madden.

Re: The Teambuilder Rosters may be final, but the Game will have DIFFERENT rosters.

I will be pretty p.o.'d if these rosters are final as well. Paying $60+ dollars to make the correct rosters yourself is a bit of a scam. I don't understand why the NCAA team doesn't respond about these issues the way the Madden team has with their issues.

Yea it does seem that in certain areas of the game like rosters NCAA team just don't care bout it to much. This is really going to destroy NCAA rep in the coming years if the DEV team keeps this up.

Their past crap should destroy their rep, I don't see how their numbers can still be up after releasing the same crap every year.

I really, really think that the lawyer issue is not affecting the quality of rosters. Giving the EA team the benefit of the doubt has come and gone.

They know we'll just edit everything. Why waste time getting more sounds or new, fuller versions of fight songs? People will fix them.

Why waste time doing rosters? People will fix them.

Why waste time adding FCS teams? People will create them.
