Re: Relocation cities

Hopefully this is something that is added in future versions.

If I had just $1.00 for every time I've seen the above statement in a post, I swear I'd have enough $$$ to make everyone a game they would love and feel totally immersed in. Such a shame we're always hoping for something down the road...

Re: Relocation cities

I once created a 90's giants all star team on ncaa 12 using real names and logos, and it was removed pretty quickly for obscenity or what have-you. Im surprised they let teams move at all. And I wonder if you sim 100 years ahead how many original franchises are still around.

It wasn't removed because of obscenities, it was - in all likelihood - removed because it wasn't set to private. I have tons of "pro" teams in my NCAA '14... like the Boston State Patriots, using their AFL logo and uniforms (see my avatar), the old Oilers using the Warren Moon era logo/uni's, the Raiders, Chargers, Falcons, Chiefs... but all are set to private.

And no problems at all!

San Antonio Express lol

Who would name their team after a newspaper!!! Lol

That's exactly what the Orlando Sentinel is.

Re: Relocation cities

That's exactly what the Orlando Sentinel is.

Take a look at what some real NFL teams are named after:

Cleveland Browns - named after coach/GM Paul Brown
Buffalo Bills - Buffalo Bill Cody
Green Bay Packers - Indian/Acme Packing Company
New Orleans Saints - song "when the saints go marching in"

Is a Newspaper really that far off? One of the developers mentioned it was more done as a joke/easter egg to see if fans would recognize the connections.

Re: Relocation cities

I have a question. If a CPU team say Jacksonville moves to a new city can another team eventually relocate to Jacksonville later down the road?

No teams can only relocate to the selected cities in the game. The only two actual NFL cities in it are Chicago and Houston. So if you moved the Bears another team could relocate to Chicago but they couldn't take the Bears name.

What is realism when it comes to fake team names?? But if you really want realism how is this:

The USFL had a team named the Los Angeles Express.
The WFL had a team named the Jacksonville Express.
The IFL had two different teams named Express.
The UFL had a team named the New York Sentinels.

Ignore the Newspaper references and you see both of these have been used in real pro football teams. As have several of the other team names.

There's a third: Brooklyn is one of the five boroughs of New York City.

Yes but technically no team plays in New York City, both teams play in Jersey.

Come on, man. By that logic, 3/4 of the teams in all sports don't play in their home cities.

Most of them still play in the same state though.

True enough.

As a New Yorker myself, I blame all the rich white guys that get to make these decisions. I mean, given the choice between "keep the enormous, partially-disused railyard" and "build a revenue-generating NFL stadium," they chose the partially-disused railyard. What the f*ck, man ...

I mean seriously, look at this crap:


(For the record, that round building near the upper-right-hand corner? That's Madison Square Garden, only a few blocks away.)

The Patriots are no different, Boston had a chance to build a beautiful state of the art stadium right on the waterfront but the neighbors complained about noise and traffic and the city voted it down. Instead they built one of the largest convention centers on the east coast which instead of traffic 8 Sunday's a year, causes it about 150 days a year.
