Re: Anyone else going generated names this year?

The one year I did generated names, was the most fun I ever had with NCAA in this current gen. Maybe it was because I used a team I had no familiarity with (Western Michigan) so I had no beliefs about who should be a stud and who shouldn't be. I think I would have a more difficult time using generic names with Rutgers.

Re: Anyone else going generated names this year?

Import has zero impact for me on naming. Importing was a broken feature.

I use named rosters because it adds a level of immersion for the first couple of years before I really have much of an impact on team building. Hopefully EA actually fixed the depth chart and roster bugs from years prior.

Re: Anyone else going generated names this year?

nope, real all the way, I can't do fake. As CParrish said, knowing so much about college football it would be annoying seeing some random name instead of who its supposed to be. I am however doing a for fun test dynasty before rosters are released and have already done some of the teams in team builder. I'm only doing my conference and will just import them over their team and have them named (USC over USC, Oregon over Oregon etc).

Re: Anyone else going generated names this year?

I'm a bit torn to be honest. I use all my sports games in whatever report I'm working on. Since I'm doing one from an RTG standpoint (not actually using RTG mode though), the lack of unity sets up a lot of work - maneuvering.

Since Madden 13 won't have draft classes - it's like NCAA is completely separate for once, and whatever I do in NCAA 13; won't make a lick of a difference in Madden. Ah - sucks.

IF I just play NCAA 13, I'll wait for named rosters. It will make me want to play my dynasty long after my "RTG" player is (hopefully) in the NFL.

I made 12 Canadian teams so I'll slap them into dynasty and play with them (plus generated names) until the good rosters come out.

I can't see any real fan of college football using generated names and not seeing the point of waiting for the real names.

No way I'll use generated names. Real names make Dynasty 5x more enjoyable. Since Madden no longer supports roster importing, I no longer support Madden.
