Quick questions concearning Player Subs and Rosters...

[GrayFolded]

Any word on if they brought back Substitutions?? It would be nice to pick who plays on Special Teams (I want Underclassmen and Back Ups on my Return Teams, not Starters) and I do like to have control over my Individual Playbook Subs for Def and Off.....It was frustrating last year to not even have this feature....

Also, what is the real issue with the rosters this year??? This area concearns me the most.....

Formation Subs are not in the game this year.

They are supposed to have an updated roster in the EA Locker for launch day.

Re: Quick questions concearning Player Subs and Rosters...

EA is ********, why would you NOT have Formation Subs????!!!!!

I love how they remove USEFUL things one year and replace them with stupid Gimmicks that serve no purpose the next....

I thought FOR SURE this would not be an issue with regards to Formation Subs this year, but again EA does not have seemingly any common sense....

They even had Subs in the PS2 version last year!!!!

Because they want to tout as a revolutionary new fearture in 2012.

Re: Quick questions concearning Player Subs and Rosters...

So I got my answer to the Roster question from Gamerosters.com...I have used them the last 3 years to get full rosters on PS2....

Here is what they said in response to the Rosters being screwed up:

Thank you for contacting us.

The roster issue you have heard about is as follows: EA has loaded the incorrect, incomplete rosters on the game itself. They will be releasing a file on launch day with the updated, supposedly correct rosters. Now, if the game does release with the incorrect rosters, then we will have to download the file and use that as our roster that we edit and name.

The problem with your case specifically is that we don’t know how this roster issue will affect the PS2. We and many others have tried contacting EA on how it will affect the PS2 game but they have given no response. Since the PS2 is a different game from the PS3 and XBOX 360 versions, common opinion is that the PS2 will launch with the CORRECT rosters already on. With EA being so tight-lipped on the PS2 version, it looks like we may have to wait until we get our hands on the game itself to determine which rosters that version will have.

Either way you can be sure the issue will not get past us, and we will be doing everything we can to produce another quality, accurate file as soon as possible. If you are getting your roster file through us you don’t need to worry about the current roster issue, because we will make sure that we get the proper file. We do not anticipate it affecting our product at all, so rest easy.

If you have any other questions or concerns please let us know.

Because EA only wants to please the non-hardcore buyers that will just trade it in when Madden comes out. Look on the bright side we have teambuilder lmao...

Re: Quick questions concearning Player Subs and Rosters...

I really just think they (EA and its stockholders) care only about the bottom line.....They have a Monopoly on College Football and have made MILLIONS of dollars releasing Half-Finished games the last several years....

It really saddens me that a company that I SWORE by in the 90's has fallen off a cliff in a buring car....


Alas, I suppose being in the "Patch Era" this should be expected...

Of course its about the bottom line. Greed is good or something like that.

Thing is, I root for EA. I want them to make a great product and take my money from me. Problem is, they just keep messing up. Its nearly inexcusable the mistakes they made with the sliders and rosters this year let alone all the features from the last gen that are still inexplicably missing.

I just want a good college football game to play and as long as EA has the license, they are the only game in town. I want EA to hit a home run with this franchise, make it perfect, make millions, its a win/win.

Over the last couple years its been a win/lose with EA getting my money and myself getting an inferior product. Greatfully, their sales have been declining but all they do is mess up the foundation and add gimmicks. This year, I am certain their sales will be lower than last year(and not solely based on the economy) and lower than projections(more importantly) so its turning into a lose/lose proposition.

Hopefully we'll get back to a win/win situation sometime in the near future. 2012? Anyone?

NO!!! If they use this feature for 2012 what will they hype for the PS4 in 2017? Oh wait... maybe Windsock Mash-up. You know, where you mix and match your stadium windsocks and export them online to share with yourt friends. Apparently wind speed advantage will play an important role as well.

...sorry EA but I just couldn't resist

ME TOO!!!!!!!!

From the second I put NHL Hockey in my Sega almost 2 decades ago I was EA FOR LIFE!!!!

Then the company took off and made a TON of $$$ in the 90's, the Old School EA Guy's retired and turned the company over to these New School guys who took Business Classes in College and only know one thing: $$$....BOTTOM LINE IS $$$

Quality does not matter to them at all anymore, they have our money already and will continue to take it......


Remember the NCAA Football from the late 90's (Maybe 98??) that had the 16 Team Tourney feature at the end of the season that used all the Bowl Games as locations!!!!! I WANT THOSE DAYS BACK, INOVATION FOLKS!!!!! (they scraped it the very next year by the way, lol)
