So now that Custom Conferences are in what changes will you make?

Re: So now that Custom Conferences are in what changes will you make?

Michigan
Florida + California
Texas
Ohio

Those can be conferences, then everything else can be geographical.

Actually, with a 4 team minimum, many states can be conferences:
Florida (7)
Texas (10)
California (7)
Ohio (8)
Alabama (4)
Indiana (4)
Louisiana (5)
Michigan (5)
North Carolina (5)
Tennessee (4)

Here is some artwork I made for some conferences:

Re: So now that Custom Conferences are in what changes will you make?

I doubt that they have playoffs in the game, but if not I am going to give every team a chance to get to the BCS. I am making 8 big conferences, I did my best on trying to keep them in the same region and conference as possible. There are 4 14-team conferences and 4 16-team conferences, each school would play 10 conference games and a conference title game at the end of the year, where the winner gets an automatic bid to a BCS Bowl game.

16-Team Conferences

The East(mostly a merger of ACC and Big East)
Atlantic Division
Duke
Maryland

....Snip for Viewing's Sake...

That is an incredibly awesome line up you created!

Here is some artwork I made for some conferences:

I would say 'Lone Star Conference' would be a better name for the Texas conference, but that is already taken in DII(and includes non-Texas teams?). But since it's fictional anyway, I guess it wouldn't matter.

Re: So now that Custom Conferences are in what changes will you make?

I'll play a few years with the real deal and then start changing and making the "SUPER CONFERENCES". Also, if we can add 120 TB teams in dynasty and have play-offs(neither one confirmed nor denied) I'll make the FCS.

Re: So now that Custom Conferences are in what changes will you make?

I forgot to add this to my long post on the last page, with the independents, I would put the future FBS schools in the independents until they are available to join. With the 14 team conferences, I could easily put UTSA and Texas State in the River Mountain Conference, and when UMass joins put them in the MAC, and replace Northern Illinois with the incoming South Alabama, and put Northern Illinois back in the MAC, where they belong.

Also, here is the BCS Automatic Bids:
Rose: Pac-16 vs Big 10-4
Sugar: SEC vs The East
Fiesta: American East vs River Mountain
Orange: Sun Belt vs MAC

Re: So now that Custom Conferences are in what changes will you make?

Probably put texas(hook em), oklahomo, a&m and tx tech with the new pac 12 and make it the pac 16..... move houston other squads to the big 12...

And put ohio st and michigan in the SAME division.

This is exactly what I'm doing with the Pac...

Re: So now that Custom Conferences are in what changes will you make?

wku I love your conference layouts but the name for the Pac divisions just doesn't work imo....maybe just call them North and South....

Re: So now that Custom Conferences are in what changes will you make?

Will you be able to teamBuilder a team and put them in a conference without playing as that team ?

I'd assume yes, since you can do that this year.

Re: So now that Custom Conferences are in what changes will you make?

eventually i may do what i think should have happened in real life...TCU to the big 12 instead of the big east. big 12 perfect fit location and talent wise for them!

Re: So now that Custom Conferences are in what changes will you make?

I have honestly been waiting for something like this forever! No school is safe, just like no club is safe in futbol. The only thing I'm going to have to map out is which conferences are the sister conferences of the major conferences.

July 12th needs to hurry the heck up

Yeah, I haven't quite figured out how I'll organize it, but I'm still excited

Re: So now that Custom Conferences are in what changes will you make?

2 questions here:

1. I know you can change the names of existing conferences, but can you create a conference from scratch?

2. When you add 4 teams to the Pac-12, making it the Pac-16, will the in game logo change to say 16 or will it stay at 12?

I'm sure it will stay at 12 because they would have to render new art for every option available otherwise....

Wow EA has really stepped it up for both NCAA and Madden this year. The possibilities are endless! I dont' even like college football that much and this is a first day buy and a keeper for me.
