Well that's good to hear for me a plain ole XBox-er, sorry that it's out of the 360 though, that''s just dumb.

There is no solution. Apparently, when we play online, we will be getting the individual players stats for the games e-mailed to us afterward and if the names were online, they would e-mail the stats along with the players name. So, since the players names would technically be coming from EA's servers, it's a violation of the NCAA licensing deal.

Two issues are that the generated names don't show up online even, and there is no option to change what you view under player's names. What I mean is usually there is a presentation option to say I want to see Name, or Number and Position, or just Number. There isn't that option on the 360 so that couldn't be the issue. Same goes for online, no option to see generated names or anything along those lines. So yes unless EA releases a patch (Which I don't believe they ever have for an EA Sports title) 360 users are screwed in this regard. BUT let me say again PS2 (And I assume XBOX) WILL have this feature still.

Are you able to set the options to see the names when playing offline?

Yea since you can see the generated names off-line.

no EA servers which is where you reports the stats too would see them still as WR #3 , QB #8 etc. They wouldn't go from your rosters names. Atleast, i dont see how they would be emailed to us. Since everything goes through their servers
