    Maybe they'll figure out a way to fix this. Maybe we should all call their 800 number. Try and get our voices heard

      Possibly, but I would be very surprised if this has impact on XBOX sales in the future.

      For me, the choice is simple, I'll simply play NCAA 08 and the next version of College Hoops on my PS3. As I said, ,most of us are early adopters, and a good portion of that crowd are multi console owners.

        Exactly. A lot of this anger is misplaced.

            this right here is just making my PS3 purchase that much more satisfying and the selling of my 360 6 months ago, I'm sorry but I need my rosters.

              In the end, MS really has no reason to stress over this. At best, they'll clear FK and Linders console IDs but really those guys probably will do rosters even if they need new consoles to do so. For 99% of the users of this, its really no different than before on future titles. They'll just need to change the roster name after they DL it.

              The only real issue is current rosters of games already out. Those could be redone and posted by people who didn't update yet. Where i think the issue will occur is people will just have less choices in roster options. Where maybe you would get 3-6 rosters makers for a game you might get half of that.

                Interesting. It's certainly unfortunate news. Custom rosters were a vital aspect of my enjoyment of sports games, and I gather this will be pretty disappointing to those that also used custom rosters in their games.

                This will really hurt games that don't have naming rights, like Winning Eleven or NCAA Football.

                The other negative aspect is that it will result in users having to be more dependent on the default rosters released with a game; and also the company to keep the rosters updated and as accurate as possible throughout the season.

                The trend in technology seems to be getting more restrictive with progress and advances, and I guess there's no exception here. This situation reminds me of Verizon Wireless and their practice of crippling phones to force users into buying or subscribing to their own products. If Microsoft or gaming companies start selling updated rosters, the comparison will be even more valid.

                    Isn't all this a little premature?

                    I'll be the first to admit that I pondered the thought of getting a PS3, but we are a few months away from NCAA and don't even know if this will be an issue yet.

                    I think some people are just looking for a reason to like the PS3.

                      And what exactly is wrong with the PS3?

                        Not unless they just absorbed the United States Marine Corps.

                            Where did I say anything was wrong with the PS3?

                            I simply said that people are using this issue, that may or may not be a problem, to validate purchasing a PS3.

                            Like I said, it seems a little premature.

                              LMAO. It was only a matter of time.

                              I hope it works out better for you than your Jeremy Shockey is better and has more upside than Antonio Gates argument.

                                Agreed. Although the chance of MS selling updated rosters is slim. NFLPA license is held exclusively by EA, College rosters can't be named for profit, and they don't own the MLBPA or NBA players licenses currently, nor would that seem to be a good return on investment.
