I just think it's too much of a challenge for them to even try to do it

I don't think they care about rating them (as you can see with what we have now with FBS ratings), I just think they don't feel like doing it at this point in the series on this generation of consoles.

I doubt the FCS teams would make it in, but I have a bit of hope left. The last time they really gave them REAL attention was back in NCAA Football 2000!! They actually had FCS teams' real stadiums!

This isn't directed to any one person in particular, but to those who say that people don't care about FCS teams..I just want my voice heard.

I dont give TWO flying **** what happens in the FBS, I'm all FCS ALL THE TIME. Not saying any one has to agree, but I just want to let it be known that there are those out there that really do care about those small lovable loser teams.

Also, I will NOT buy another college football game until my FCS schools are included.

Losing customers every day, EA.

As much as I like the FCS, I see no reason that EA should provide the teams for us, especially when crowdsourcing has created FCS teams here that EA could never dream of making. All I want EA to do is to lift the TeamBuilder Replacement cap that they have on Dynasty Mode, so that I can create an FCS dynasty. I don't even really care about the playoffs. Just let me replace all the teams.

again, it's not that nobody cares about them, it's that sadly you are the minority. They aren't going to sell many more units because they added a sub division which is hardly on tv and that the casual fans don't see. Its something that hardcore college football fans would like especially to get rid of those generic FCS teams, but its not a smart decision when they already are being criticized for their past few games.

Seemed like they were getting more exposure this past season. I got to watch at least 1 game every week. Mostly CAA, Ivy, and Southland with a few NEC (Robert Morris and Duquesne) games sprinkled in.

Being a follower of both and being a student at an FCS school, I really want to see them in because they complete the whole experience of college football and would add a ton of depth to dynasty. However, I can do without it as long as the gameplay (and really the game as a whole) improves.

ESPNU has improved that a lot. They have FCS games on quite a bit. Also, CBS Sports and NBC Sports play a few FCS games as well (CBS= mostly Patriot League games and NBC mostly had Ivies, IIRC.)
