South Alabama dropped the ball...not blaming EA for this one. If that makes me an "apologist" then so be it. Logic won't work with some people that have an agenda and bash this game and EA on almost every post. I just call it like I see it on not blaming them on this, just seems they were misled by South Alabama, end of story.

Re: NCAA Football 13 Will Not Include The University of South Alabama

lots of EApologists around this forum

But, it's actually not EA's fault. Why would we blame EA when they've done no wrong?

Probably because they've shown that they can't get a team into the game that announced its intentions to move up before UTSA, Texas State, and UMass. And also because EA can't look up the news stories or schedules that show USA playing a full FBS schedule.

I don't think that I am an EA basher, I usually take their side with things and have shown my loyalty by spending my hard earned money year in and year out. I just don't think they should get a free pass for not having this team in. If your side of the argument is that none of the 4 should be in I can not argue against you since they are all transition teams and. But to include 3 of the 4 just seems off to me. I don't think that is an illogical expectation, just because people don't see eye to eye doesn't mean that one of them is not logical it is just a difference in opinion.

USA had a deadline that they did not meet, therefore it's their fault and NOT EA's.

Re: NCAA Football 13 Will Not Include The University of South Alabama

What, NO University of South Alabama!!!! OMG total deal breaker.....better cancel my pre-order. EA is robbing us all. (end sarcasm)

Seriously, how many people were really going to play with this team? I guess if you play a dynasty against South Alabama, but just insert another cupcake into your schedule for another year.

Exactly. As far as EA knew, UoSA was unsure if they would go to 1-A. If EA put them in and they chose not to go up, EA would look really dumb.

Outside of a few huge CFB fans and UoSA fans, not many people will realize EA's gaff.

It was known they'd be moving up before it was known that Texas State, UTSA, or UMass were moving up.

Seems like EA just goofed and came up with a bad excuse

Re: NCAA Football 13 Will Not Include The University of South Alabama

EA is just being lazy, it is stuff like this that makes me annoyed with the game. they listened to people when we complained about the color of the sides of Autzen Stadium (thanks by the way) but disregard the smaller schools. ECU doesn't have its updates, there are a bunch of openings left out, and other small stuff that makes college football so intense/amazing.Now to leave out a school, that is just laziness. i know a ton about almost all the schools just by reading Wikipedia, and watching youtube on every team i do a dynasty with (a lot of teams each year) why do i feel that i know more about these schools and college football than the guys who make the game? either way, USA was my third team for a dynasty behind Oregon, and UMass.

ECU actually got our new section in. BALLIN. Still sucks USA isn't in because thats who I would have started a dynasty with. UMASS IT IS!!!

they can't get go off internet chatter. the school itself or the NCAA has to inform them in some kind of official way.

they're busy making the game do you think they should be checking blogs or scouring newspapers to find out about this when they have 123 other schools to worry about?

Re: NCAA Football 13 Will Not Include The University of South Alabama

Well that news will disappoint all of... 5 people.

5 people? Obviously you haven't heard of the Pensacola/Mobile area sports tradition. We've produced athletes such as emmit smith, Trent Richardson , Bubba Watson, Boo Weekly, Roy Jones Jr. , and Derrick Brooks among others. Way more than 5 people care dude

It wasn't internet chatter. It was official that they were moving up. USA's had this planned (officially even) since they started the program. It's not like there was ever this "will they or won't they" discussion going on.

Again, USA's intentions to move were made clear well before UMass or the Texas twins. There was no surprise in any of this.

Exactly, a few years ago when the team was announced. The whole plan was to go D-1

And yet they failed to inform EA in a timely matter as to their intentions. Unless UoSA and the NCAA told them, they can't do anything. It'd be Sam Keller hell all over again.
