Re: NCAA Football 10: Custom Conferences

Here's one thing I am afraid of now: Conference invites. If I put Florida in the Mac conference & they dominate for 2 years straight, will they get invited to a difference conference? Multiply this problem by 3 or 4 different teams & you have a the big teams in the big conferences again...is this a gift...a curse...or both?

only human controlled teams are offered invites(unless it changes in NCAA 10), and they don't have to accept.

Re: NCAA Football 10: Custom Conferences

now theirs one problem that could affect people that would like to do this like me

say you put a team like New Mexico State or Fresno State into the PAC-10, with the teams still have WAC on the grass on the field

if that is the case even tho a cool feature i would not use

Re: NCAA Football 10: Custom Conferences

That's two weeks now that NCAA has posted something little (that has not got me excited), madden has put off some good things so far. I usually lean towards buying NCAA over madden but this year i am leaning towards madden.

I am also thinking of making the swich to Madden. NCAA has a lot of catching up to do IMO.

Re: NCAA Football 10: Custom Conferences

It will be a fun feature (at least for me). Is it for online only or will it be available for offline as well?? If you can use it for offline dynasty then will you be able to do conference changes after the season or is it a one time deal at the beginning of the dynasty and it goes back to the conference invite deal of past years??? and finally in another thread I asked Adam if the new "TC" (texture compositor) will allow for the conference logos to change when changing conferences and he said it could be used for that as well... So will the TC be utilized for custom conferences?? I would hate to move BYU or Utah to the Pac-10 and they still have a MWC logo on the field.

Re: NCAA Football 10: Custom Conferences

Now Notre Dame can get in a conference like every other team. Perfect.

Sort of. Sounds like you can only swap teams, so there will always be 4 Independents. And then what I bet happens is that the schedules get replaced. I don't know how they program the OOC schedules, but I would bet that Southern Cal is not programmed to play "Notre Dame" every year, they are programmed to play "Independent #1" or something. So whoever you go stick out there to replace Notre Dame will be playing Notre Dame's typical schedule. I hope I'm wrong on that.

Next, I'd like to know if you can change which conferences get BCS spots. Because I want to turn the Big 12 back into the Big 8, and I want the Southwest Conference back. Those would both have 8 teams. So one would have to be the Big East and one the Sun Belt, and that would mess things up a bit And it would probably mess up recruiting, even though conference prestige is just one category of like 12. I've always wanted this feature, but I don't think it's going to work like I want, so this is pretty much useless for me most likely. I'd like to change the size of the conferences all together. I don't want the Big East to be locked in size so that there is always exactly 8 teams in there and there's no way around it, and it sounds like that's how it is since we can't add or subtract from ther 120 teams in 1-A.

Re: NCAA Football 10: Custom Conferences

This new addition is pointless if logos on the field, throughout the stadium, and on jerseys do not change!!! Hopefully the idiots who have not noticed this will finally realize it.

With the new 'texture compositor' they have the ability to change those things. Its just a matter of if they used the 'texture compositor'.

Re: NCAA Football 10: Custom Conferences

my 2 c

1) I really hope this game doesnt look like ncaa 09 for ps2, i mean background wise i find it very kiddy.

2) People who are going to Madden I say this. Have fun with no online franchise

I simply don't care about online franchise and it doesn't fit what I want. Having to wait for others to schedule games, arguing over what difficulty or slider set should be used (I like my own tweaks) isn't for me and I don't use this feature. I've played one online game in the last three years (for ANY sport).

I do recognize that many people love this feature but are we even certain that online franchise isn't in Madden this year?

your missing out man. ive done multiplayer dynasty since ncaa 98 and is the main reason NCAA's Dynasty mode has been one of the greatest features of any sports game. now with it online its another level. i dont know why you would think there are probs like that in them. this great news about the confrences. something that has been asked for since i can remember. good addition. getting worked up in march because of what your hearing or not hearing is a little overdone. most of what madden gets ncaa will to. they havent said anything about the madden features this week being added so i would guess that either its just not in or only limited portions of it. the other reason could be that what they are adding and spending their time on uses some of this but is a larger scale and dont want the cat out of the bag. remember they said they didnt add the qb's new ratings because the used the resourses to add something specific for NCAA. It's only march so i would wait a while before getting to worried about anything. NCAA's OD's were the biggest fluff ever added to NCAA and the greatest feature that could of ever been implemented. did it for 10 years prior passing around memory cards and uploading the files on the cpu and then downloading them with sharkports and having to wait for one person at a time. i think this year we'll get the solid game play no question. Hell even if your a traditional guy this should be a big feature for you. Arkansas back with the big 12 teams. get the big east back to normal. maybe im older and think traditional is something different but myself and im sure alot of other guys feel it was needed to actually fix some crappy changes made to conferences over that last 25 years.

Re: NCAA Football 10: Custom Conferences

My question is: Is this for both online and offline dynasties or is it only online?

You don't have to accept the invite. Only human controlled teams get conference invites as well.

You can only set up your custom conferences at the beginning of a dynasty. It is available for offline but the main idea behind this was allowing online dynasties to put all their teams in one conference.

Unfortunately we won't have the field logos updating this year.
