NCAA Football 10 Blog: Custom Conferences

Re: NCAA Football 10: Custom Conferences

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.

Well I figured it was focused towards online dynasties... But I am glad you guys carried it over to offline dynasties.

Wish the field logos could change.. But Ive ignored them for many years now... Another year wont hurt.

I like how you said "this year"

I think this feature is awesome and thanks for putting this in!
mainly because it was one of the many things I suggested in the wish list thread.

so you guys do read it haahahahahaha

Re: NCAA Football 10: Custom Conferences

Bleh, this feature isn't for me. I'm all about being realistic. My OCD wouldn't be able to handle this feature.

Re: NCAA Football 10: Custom Conferences

Called this one being included. Now hopefully this leads right into CAS.

He said in the middle somewhere in his Ohio State to the MAC example, that Michigan fans could demote Ohio State to the MAC 'but couldn't keep them from ever playing football again.' That sounds like squashing any create-a-school, or individual 1-AA teams, otherwise we very well could keep Ohio State from ever playing football ever again.

Sweet; I can make college football like it should be (circa 2004) and act like the ACC raid never happened...Awesome feature

Except the ACC still needs 12 teams, and the Big East still needs 8 because we can't change the number of teams in conferences. Just swapping one team for another doesn't really give you a ton of realistic options.

Also, if the logos on the field can't change, then I bet the patches on the jerseys can't change either. Sorry, but this feature, which could be a really great addition is completely useless to anyone who strives for realism.

I'd have to go through every jersey and every stadium and see who doesnt have the patch on their jersey or the conference logo on their field. If we can't add teams to a conference and create a title game or something, then this is basically pointless for most people I think.

Then what about schedules? If I move Notre Dame into the Big 10+1, will Southern Cal still be playing against Notre Dame? or will they be playing 'Independent #1' Moving Notre Dame into a conference isn't worth it if they'll never play Southern Cal, Navy, etc like tradition says they should.

You guys said you didn't create-a-school in last year because you didn't want it to be a 'throw-away feature' but that's exactly what this seems to be to me since we have such limited options.

Whats realistic about putting random schools in random conferences?

I will never use this because it isnt "sim". Im happy for anybody who is thrilled about this , but IMO this is useless weither or not the patches or field changes.

Re: NCAA Football 10: Custom Conferences

I wouldn't consider it unrealistic to bring back old conferences. My first idea was to undo the Big 12 expansion and bring back the Southwest Conference. But that won't work when we have to leave the number of teams the same. I wanted Arkansas back in the SWC with all the Texas schools, and I could've put Tulane back in the SEC like they used to be. I wanted to bring back traditional conference rivalries, back when football was a little more...pure. Sigh. Oh well.

Re: NCAA Football 10: Custom Conferences

It is a nice feature to add. I'm a traditionalist so I don't know if I'll use it much but it is a very nice option to have.

Yeah I'm like you. Other than say, replacing Wash. State with Boise State if I'm using Boise State (just as an example) I like to keep most of the conferences intact.

WEAK!

Re: NCAA Football 10: Custom Conferences

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

Not to read too much into this comment, but will users get offered conference invites online this year?

Re: NCAA Football 10: Custom Conferences

Only human controlled teams get conference invites as well.

Why? Was this left out because it didn't seem like a good idea or because of some game constraint?

On a side note, are the features listed so far only for 360/PS3?

hate to be negative, but this is a totally worthless feature without logo changes

Re: NCAA Football 10 Blog: Custom Conferences

Had 2 use 1st post to comment on how awesome this is. I pretty much play only offline dynasties. This opens up so many new teams to play with IE: favorite team is Ariz St but i never play with them bc the PAC10 is so brutal and the schedule sux. No more having to play in B12 South or SEC in order to get solid conference schedule. I am fkn stoked.

Re: NCAA Football 10 Blog: Custom Conferences

Yet another uninspiring blog from NCAA.

Definitely leaning toward Madden now.
