Why EA Needs to Patch the New Playoff into NCAA Football 13

[Sublime12089]

I would like to see it patched, but I also think it is unfair to expect this year. Next year however....

They won't do it for one reason. It gives them leavge for next season so they can say they have the new playoff format. The Show did the same thing. Didn't add the extra wildcard, so now it gives people a reason to buy next years game.

This article really wasn't needed. 2 reasons why I think this is trolling.

1. Playoff system isn't in place yet for another 2 years.

2. The argument that the playoff system should be there 2 years into your dynasty. How? All they have decided is 4 teams are going to be able to participate. We don't know the exact details such as location, who has homefield, and the requirements to even be included in the playoff.

I really don't know why this was posted unless it was just to get a reaction. Well, he's certainly getting one, probably not the one he wants though. This was overall. Not. Smart.

Judging by some of the replies, I'd say that mission has been accomplished.

I swear some of you guys make more excuses for ea than a mother who's son is on death row. this absolutely could have been included in this years game. Every report since jan 2012 has said the playoff is on the way in College football So If they wanted to they could have done something if they "wanted" to and approval from NCAA ? heck they are the ones changing the system!!! Of course they would approved it and with sales being down it would have been a great draw ...that being said, it better be in next year's game.... who cares if you get every detail right; a playoff is a playoff something fans have wanted in the game for a long time

Next year this feature will be their MARKETING HYPE for NCAA 14. It was once included on the old PS2 system even without a college football playoff system in place. But my point is in this day age EA always needs something to boost their HYPE machine and this playoff addition for NCAA 14 will be their bread and butter next year. They'll probably leave gameplay as it is right now untouched and spend the year working on installing the playoff system into Dynasty mode and call it the deepest most inovative dynsaty mode ever......

You are dead on...

They should just give us a option for a playoff system. With 4,6,8 and 16 teams choices

The NCAA likely would want the correct system in place, not just any system. The details of the playoff have not been finalized. It also would require them to rework the bowl season in Dynasty. As someone with experience said earlier in this thread, that is probably not as easy as it looks.

Some of you let what you want to happen control what you expect to happen, even if it isnt realistic.
