Hello, and thanks for the time. I am the user JCarr-rules, and insider, for what its worth. I don't really expect an answer for any of these questions as they are pretty specific but it never hurts to ask, right? Well it never hurts me anyway, but it probably annoys you. :-)

Anyway, the things I am really interested in about NCAA this season are the conference alignments. If you follow sports at all you would have noticed the game of Twister played by the conferences of college football, at the very least. Miami, Virginia Tech, and Boston College started it all by leaving the Big East for the Atlantic Coast Conference. I trust enough in EA to know that Miami and Va Tech will be in the ACC already, but what about teams like Boston College? They don't change conferences until next season. If you were to sim the first season of a dynasty, are they programmed to jump ship over to the ACC after the first season?

This is probably crossing the line but could I get RB #23 for Rutgers rating? I went to high school with the guy and he won Big East freshman of the year last year. It was amusing last season because the only RB rated worse than him was his back-up, but I assume that has jumped up a bit. I am not sure whether he'll be a HB or a FB, but he'll be #23. I thank you very much for the help.

Adios,
JCarr

Odds are 40:1 if you sent it in italics ever who is reading it will get an aneurysm right after they read "Hello."

I doubt the conference realignments are in. A lot fo teams are changing conference next yr and I dont know, but maybe thats hard to code? With the scheduling etc. Maybe one more team to ACC but I doubt it.

can't wait til the first person that gets the game and sims 2 years to see if it's in. When it's not, the outcry will be hilarious! "This is a gamekiller!"

Well Virginia Tech and Miami are already in the ACC in the game, but other than that you are probably right about no switching after the first year.

Brandwin · 07-02-2004, 11:30 AM

Yeah I know Miami and Vtech are in ACC already. I ment adding the 12th team to the ACC, but I doubt all the conference changes will be in.

WRONG!

It will be a "gamekilla!"

Then there will be some bug about left handed coaches not winning on the road during night games in the snow in December. HOLY SNIKIES! "NOW THATS A GAME KILLA!"

Its sad, lots of people will become novice beta testers.
