So I called EA sports yesterday and here is how the phone call went.

Me: Hey, I have a question, will FCS schools be included in this year's addition of NCAA football 2012?

EA: Um, what?

Me: FCS...the football chamionship sub-division.

EA: Uhhhhh...well I THINK you can play with all 120 teams..

Me: I know that, I meant the FCS teams..will the be included?

EA: Please hold, I have to do some research on this sub-division you're talking about.

ME: (On hold, obviously this guy knows NOTHING about college football because it's clear to me he doesn't even know what the FCS is)

ten minutes later...

EA: Yes sir, I asked a few staff members here at EA, and I also did some "research online" and I don't see why the sub-divison teams wouldn't be on there..I THINK they will be on there but I'm not sure.

-----

Way to go EA. Hiring a guy for the college football game series who doesn't even know what the FCS is, and whether or not they'll be included. The staff member was stumbling as he answered and clearly had no clue what he was talking about. Once again, EA never fails to amaze me.
Don't get your hopes up, folks. The one guy who is supposed to know everything about the game his department works on has no clue what the FCS, or D1AA even is.

You called EA?

Seriously?

redsrulenc · 03-29-2011, 03:04 PM

Yes, I called them.
Is there a problem with that?
I'm a college football fan with questions!

good thing he is the one to answer the phone instead of one of the devs that woks the game.

eh, id rather them use that space for something else other than FCS schools.
Make em in team builder

I'm pretty sure the operators that answer the phone are just tech support, or just people generally trained to answer basic questions. I really doubt they have much knowledge about the titles, other than how to redeem the online pass or troubleshoot a problem.

Pure awesome.

Mr. Magic- Improvements in teambuilder would be nice as well. I'd rather have the FCS schools because in teambuilder all I do is create/download the FCS teams anyway, so I guess I'll just have to stick to that for another year
