Re: NCAA 10 Rosters

Russ:

1) When do you have to submit the game to MS/Sony for certification? In other words, is there time for the solution to be part of the retail disc?

2) If it cannot be part of the disc, would a roster patch override the original rosters and therefore become the default roster file? This way the patched rosters would be available for online matchups.

3) If the roster fix indeed turns out to be a patch, when do you think the update would go live? I know a lot of that depends on MS/Sony certification, but at this point would launch day be possible? Would July be possible?

Re: NCAA 10 Rosters

The one thing we know with certainty is that the game isn't going to be delayed.

This is the kind of thing that you have a nightmare about, wake up and in cold sweat, and give a sigh of relief that it was just a dream. It doesn't happen in reality... well I guess it does.

Maybe 5 years from now, someone will give us the declassified version of what really happened with the "NCAA 10 Roster SNAFU"

On the bright side, I got to add something new to my signature.

You know actually, I have no idea what game these are from.

Re: NCAA 10 Rosters

Well the thing with the rosters is some teams clearly didn't get their ratings updated. They changed the way OVR ratings are calculated by putting more stock in certain attributes. That is a nice idea but the roster guy didn't implement it right.

He went and updated those new important categories for the top teams causing their ratings to be at or above their 09 OVRs but certain teams got the shaft. Arkansas DE Adrian Davis was an 86OVR on NCAA 09 but is only a 77OVR in NCAA 10 because he has the SAME EXACT ratings as he had in 09. He didn't get the apparent boost to those "new" more important attributes that the top teams did.

This is the chief problem I have wit the ratings. It shows a complete lack of effort IMO. It is also why certain players who were ranked in the 80s in 09 are now ranked in the 70s (particularly at the DE, CB, and FS/SS position). They made sure to update the ratings of the top teams but the rest of teams were largely untouched. Its as if the new roster guy wasn't told about how the new OVR ratings will be calculated. There is also the issue of missingf freshmen and graduated players present.

Re: NCAA 10 Rosters

i dont think a roster patch is an option. theyre going to have to figure this out between the disc and teambuilder.

a patch or a roster update is a can of worms that theyre not going to open. plus im not even sure if its plausible for ncaa to have a different roster than the default disc roster load up for online play.

Re: NCAA 10 Rosters

$49.99 MSRP with a $50 mail-in-rebate would be the ideal solution for this monstrosity of a game.

Re: NCAA 10 Rosters

We aren't sure of what happened yet, but we didn't want to continue leaving you guys in the dark on what is going on. It looks like the wrong version of the rosters made the final build, but we don't know for sure yet. Our efforts now are on remedying the situation the best we can.

See above (emphasis added). I think I'd hold up before crucifying "roster guy". Perhaps "roster guy's" final rosters were fine but someone else screwed up and put a previous version into the game?

Just sayin'

Please explain to me why they would have a 2 versions of the 2010 roster. A s*** build and another one.. These rosters aren't 09's.. they're 10's, except its just a complete debacle.

Re: NCAA 10 Rosters

This blows my mind, ratings for players and what not have always been debatable, but to flat out leave players out of the game? My oh my.

NCAA 2010 has to have rosters that mimic the real teams, like they always have... I wonder if the Sam Keller law suit had EA put a freeze on whatever work the roster guy was doing?

This must be fixed.

Godspeed NCAA dev team... don't make me play Madden all year.
