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

    Some people go to great lengths to blame EA on anything. UoSA/NCAA didn't meet EA's deadline. Simply put it was better to not include them rather than risk it and have a Sam Keller lawsuit all over again if it didn't work.

      oh so they didn't generate the sun belt schedule this year ? Oh okay. Mustve missed that. Because that's all the research it would've took.

        ROLF you know that NCAA has to approve them to be in the game and then they have to get all sorts of legal rights from the university for them to be in the game. UoSA didn't meet EAs deadline that's the bottom line.

          Here's hoping that they can patch them in later as update. As for the fact that the univ officials didn't know that weren't included doesn't mean that they failed to meet EA's deadline. I don't ever recall any universities officials having a video gaming task force on their payroll @ Maryland to verify inclusion in a video game. The NCAA's provides the list of FBS teams including new entries well in advance and this should have been confirmed. Full Sun Belt conference schedule along with two outer conf games ( Miss St & NC State). Hmm, now you got me wondering If this is the Big 10 or 12 conferences, would this have been missed?

It is not ea's responsibility to make sure collegiate institutions cover their bases and follow through on their end and provide all the needed info. The ad and Sid of USA should've set this ball in motion 2 years ago. Blame usa's administration for not handling this in the correct manner. Do y'all realize that usa's ad had no idea they weren't in the game until angry alumni notified them.
            I don't know if I qualify as throwing blame at EA since I blame all three parties for this oversite but I am over your magic line of 25 years old. Now the more I have looked into it the less blame I put on EA and the only reason I still give them any is because if they had made it a priority to get a response from the NCAA or UoSA they would have gotten one. Does that mean they should have to hound them for an answer no, but could they have to get a response? I know an old owner for a buisness I used to work at was terrible at responding to anyone, if people wanted a response they had to bug him frequently for him to finally get back to you. I am not saying that is a good way to do things just that it happens. So while EA did not get a response and that means they could not put it in I feel that if it was higher on their list of priorities they would have been able to get confirmation.
            Now if I am way off base and EA did keep attempting to get a response and the NCAA and UoSA just ignored it I take back saying EA had any fault.

              even more proof that this had nothing to do with laziness or lack of effort on EA's part. Again give me one sound reason why they would put any effort at all into the other three school's and then just quit when it got to the Jags. so far in this thread I haven't heard one.

                Lazy is just the word frustrated fans and consumer are rightly or wrongly using to voice frustration.

                I think it goes to a lack of QA, which again isn't a lazy issues its just that a quality issue. Like the time EA shows us they fixed Iowa's fasemasks, then when the game is released they are wrong again NCAA 11 was the game I think. Just a lack of QA IMO.

                  EA didn't mess up imo. From everything I have read, including this http://no2minutewarning.com/2012/04/...abama-jaguars/

                  South Alabama, while playing an fbs schedule sure, will not be eligible for a sun belt title or a bowl. So they aren't a truly full fledged fbs member yet. They are still transitioning until next year when they can compete for a conference title and try for a bowl bid. Going by that, they shouldn't be in the game until next year.

                    There's no room for your logic in this thread - you're in the middle of a bash-EA circlejerk. Just let them go...

                      But UMass, UTSA and Texas State are under the same conditions. I think we should all be mad at USA for not letting EA know soon enough.

                        I am going to throw out this crazy idea. Maybe it is South Alabama's fault for not informing EA quick enough, but is it really beyond Tiburon to add in South Alabama? I just feel like we have known South Alabama would be in the FBS for long enough for a addition even if it is a release day, first month free DLC or at the very least priced just to cover the XBL/PS3 fees.

                        From my experience with PC gaming, it seems the worst enemy to console games right now is the consoles themselves.

                          It depends. If the game was already built for 123 teams, there would be a lot of programming involved to fix it to 124. Then its cost-to-profit ratio. Even with all the man hours put into to reprogramming them in, plus the cost of going through the networks will enough people WANT UoSA to pay say 320 MS points for it. If not, it doesn't make sense from a business standpoint.

                          As far as consoles holding consoles back, yup, you're right.

                            I understand this is a completely biased perspective, but I guess as a UMass fan I just have hard time feeling sorry for South Alabama and honestly also find it to be a little annoying that even UTSA made the cut. The Minutemen started playing football in 1879 and Texas State in 1904 while these other schools have only had programs for a couple of years, to me it won't kill them to wait another year. Again I know that's not rational or logical, but I just can't help feeling that way.

                                Its just the level of talent down here. You see FIU & FAU already in D-1 now USA and Tje University of West Florida(D-2Baseballchamps) are starting a football team. But I do agree that its too soon for USA, even as a fan.
