Just like every other such Kickstarter meeting such criteria, this one was doomed to fail before they posted the page. Kickstarter isn't a charity. You have to have strong evidence that you can actually deliver on whatever you post, not just consumer interest.

If they do get real life NCAA license I would want them to include D1AA, D2, and even NAIA schools, that would be awesome!!!

NAIA isn't part of the NCAA. It's a separate entity.

Right now the scope of the game is limited to the 125 FBS teams only.

I wonder if the could sign an exclusive deal with Sony? Sony seems to be independent developer friendly.

Would like to see Sony get behind this. With a game like this and MLB The Show I would not need another sports game.

They're shutting down the Kickstarter today but intend to one day build a college game w/ sim and dynasty features and return to Kickstarter for console development.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all the great feedback and support everyone. We obviously won't be making our funding goal this time around. We aren't giving up though. We want a great college football game and we won't quit till we get one. We are going to close this project down tomorrow and take all of the feedback we received and build a slimmed down version of the game that has some of our simulation functionality and dynasty features.

Once our game is out and we've built up a larger fanbase, we'll be back on kickstarter to try funding the full console version of the game.

That sucks, but at least they are doing something. Once they get the game out and people start to play it, they should get more love. In order to attract fans they must do 3 things.

1. Get real NCAA teams in the game with AA, D2, and D3 teams in the game, not everybody goes to a big school, their are plenty of people who would love to play with the college they went to.
2. Game-play must be superior to NCAA Football
3. Graphics, they don't have to be the best but they gotta be at least decent enough that people will take this game seriously.
