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.

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

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?Raven Nation42

Re: NCAA Football 13 Will Not Include The University of South Alabama
Anyone throwing blame at ea is showing their age. People under the age of 25 really have no understanding of how business and the real world works. when you want your institution represented in an officially licensed product of an organization you belong to, it is your institutions responsibility to provide accurate and timely information and go through he proper legal Channels to do so. 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.
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.Comment

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

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.

Re: NCAA Football 13 Will Not Include The University of South Alabama
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.Last edited by Ziza9Noles94; 06-16-2012, 03:25 PM.I bleed Garnet and Gold. In The 'Slim Reaper' We Trust. Go Noles!Comment

Re: NCAA Football 13 Will Not Include The University of South Alabama
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.Thanks to LBzrules: So these threads won't be forever lost.

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