Why EA Needs to Patch the New Playoff into NCAA Football 13

[RaychelSnr]

Why does EA need to patch in the new playoff system?

Well, it’s the biggest change in college football since the implementation of the BCS. And the shadow of the playoff will be hanging over the college football season. If it’s not in the game, then EA is failing to deliver the most accurate product possible.

The playoff system isn't even in place yet, still 2 years away. Besides, the details aren't even ironed out on who will host what. I'd like it as much as the next guy, but not until it is here and in place.

I remember the days on PS1 when you could pick your post season, Bowls or Playoffs. I always chose playoffs. I don't know why that was taken away, but it's not like they haven't had a playoff in before.

I would LOVE for them to patch it in but would be willing to bet money it won't be in there. I bet it's not in there next year either.

playoff system will be a sales pitch for one of the later ncaa footballs...no reason for them to put it in now!! they need to add FCS and all the new FBS schools!!

[jclarke22]

I think it would definitely increase sales if they did patch it in maybe its a question of if the ncaa would allow it

[coogrfan]

I suspect the NCAA would be less than thrilled with the idea of EA making up it's own playoff format.

Oh, please. Give me a break.

The playoff system doesn't even go into effect for another 2 YEARS. They can, should, and probably will implement it in NCAA Football 15 because then, and only then, would it be accurate to do so.

Or it was just announced last week and the game is probably Gold already. I would love for the 4 team playoff system to be patched in, but I'm sure it's nothing something easy to do and would rather them not chance it incase it breaks something else. Not worth the risk to me.

a playoff patch absolutely belongs, but this is EA we're talking about, i'd be surprised if it makes it in for NCAA 15

"hey guys, we really wanted to get the playoffs in, but we didn't have enough time. but in road to glory mode, you can now choose what you can order off a menu during a recruiting trip, there are 14 types of restaurants from seafood to bbq, this is the most authentic recruiting simulator"

I'd love to see some flexibility, I just don't see EA doing that. When was the last time they were truly flexible with any of their games? At least they gave us custom conferences, so that was a start.

As for it being patched in, I already know that won't happen. Even SCEA didn't do it with the Show, when the MLB announced its new playoff plan. I'd love to see it, as I really think a college football playoff is going to add wonders to the game.

Re: Why EA Needs to Patch the New Playoff in to NCAA Football 13

This is a joke, right? The NCAA doesn't even know how it will all work with the rest of the bowls and what not. How can EA sports possibly have an accurate representation when the league that is doing it doesn't have all the details ironed out yet?

The most accurate game possible is the one that doesn't have the playoff, because we don't know how it is going to work yet. If they make something up, and get it wrong, then once again everyone complains. The best move is to leave things as are for now.

Re: Why EA Needs to Patch the New Playoff in to NCAA Football 13

since the playoff decision came so late in the season, i can't imagine EA will do it. Not because they can't, not because they are "lazy", just because they don't really have to.

although i will say once i hts that 2014 season in my dynasty i would love no more than have the playoff system in place. the fact that it wont be likely will take away from the experience, but then again, who's to say i'll take my team that far anyone.....

Re: Why EA Needs to Patch the New Playoff into NCAA Football 13

I don't expect it to be in and I would be interested to see if the NCAA would even want it in the game at this point.

Re: Why EA Needs to Patch the New Playoff into NCAA Football 13

I would like the playoff in the game. Do I want it patched in? Absolutely not. The details aren't ironed out, but most importantly I don't want a patch for the game unless it's really necessary.

EA has problems getting patches to work correctly. Don't patch it if you don't have to. I can wait until it's actually in the game to be in my game.
