NCAA "next" - are we the reason why?

[mpklub]

Yeah I want to give props to this community as well. I stumbled upon OS when looking for some information on how to play NBA 2k because I had not played a video basketball game in two decades. I found my way over to the NCAA forum and was amazed at what the community here at OS had done with NCAA 14.

Since then I have learned how to use the editor, implement the playoff, edit rosters, etc. Its been a blast. I poured hours into old NCAA games from 2002 to 2008 and then didn't touch the games for like a decade.

Now they are back in my gaming rotation permanently.

Just a little shout to OS for all their work on this game and how it helped bring the game back.

Has that been definitively stated? I am legitimately asking as I haven't been to read everything out there yet.

If you're just interpreting "planning to move forward without rosters that include the names, images or likenesses of real college players" as implying no ability to share rosters, not sure I see that conclusion there.

I didn't read that. Where did you? The ability to edit rosters has been in the game for a long time. I remember there were a few places that would sell named rosters on memory cards on the older systems.

I don't think there will be roster sharing, but there will be roster editing.

That's how I see it playing out anyways.

Come on guys. I’m not saying it just to say it, why would I want it to be true.. how do you take this any other way? Check the thread for “All info we know” so you can have “all the info we know”. Trust me, I want to edit everything and hope to god we can. But just sharing the knowledge I have about that blurb.

Also as a PC modder of Madden and NCAA, don’t expect this on PC anytime soon. Even it is, heck, we can’t get any tools for Madden 21, who you think is going to help us with EA College Football? Lol.

The game will include school names, logos, traditions, fight songs, mascots, colors, uniforms and stadiums. Navigating around potentially litigious NIL matter was a delicate matter, and barring users from being able to customize players to their liking was an important stipulation for the schools, said Cory Moss, CLC’s chief executive. EA Sports was able to do a trial run of sorts with recent Madden titles, which incorporated a handful of college team options but did not include specific players. “We wanted to work with EA just in that small module to see how they could work to formulate the rosters and work with the schools on the approval process to make sure there wasn’t any possibility of using any current student-athlete’s name, image and likeness,” he said.

As long as I have full editing on players in Dynasty, I'm good. Don't follow college football particularly closely, I wouldn't know who say, FAU's starting running back is.

It was only relatively recently that the number of people browsing the Madden forum was consistently higher than the NCAA forum. That’s pretty remarkable for a game that is now two generations back.

I think they saw communities like us and that helped sell that there is a market, for sure.

indirectly we are the reason but more directly, it's green that was the major motivator. not that there's anything wrong with that. greed, for lack of better word, is good
