Just wondering if anyone knows (hopefully Ian can tell me) if the PAL version of the game can import Draft classes this year. I really want this for the PAL version and its in the American version so please put in it the PAL version if it isnt in already Ian

Thanks

Probably not.... I was told be an EA customer service operator that the reason PAL computers don't have the "import draft class feature" is because the legal rights to the college players are restricted to the U.S.A and Canada, where consoles are NTSC... so they don't include the import function on PAL consoles because PAL consoles are usually out of North America.

Unless the rights to NCAA players has changed this year, which i doubt, it won't make it into PAL consoles.

(this answer is based on the EA guy telling me the truth... i don't know if it's the real reason... the guy also told me that they'd had no reports of "Freezing" last year too which was b******s so who knows?!?)

There is a workaround (which im not an expert on) but maybe "exonerated" could throw in his 2 cents...

It sucks a$$, I live in a Pal region too. But it doesn't really matter until we getting a football game worth playing.

How can this be when the players in the NCAA game are technically fictional?

As far as I know, PAL systems do not recognize NTSC save files. So like, I don't think you if have a PAL version of Madden, that you can play an NTSC game save of franchise.

And since NCAA is an NTSC only game, I highly doubt EA would go out of the way to give PAL Maddens a way to read NTSC save files.

The schools in the NCAA game are real and restricted to US and Canada.

Thats my 2c.

I'm going to import both Madden and NCAA, assuming I can find an online store that will ship to the UK. Amazon do for some things, but not others.
