NCAA Football 10 Rosters Issue

Re: NCAA Football 10 Rosters Issue

TEAMBUILDER CREATED TEAMS < ACCURATE ROSTERS


I don't mean to sound negative and critical of the devs but where is the quality control here??

It took me 5 minutes to find out these rosters were garbage, and EA just figured this out? Did EA not even look at the rosters. Is the new roster guy a sub contractor from India?

Re: NCAA Football 10 Rosters Issue

Personally, I dont think anybody is going to fix the current rosters.. The community might, but its going to take forever. By that point, NCAA 10 will be a distant memory.

It's a given the community will fix it. They do every year. RomanCeasar's rosters were spot on last year and he updated them every week. There are people that will fix them. Believe it.

But, yes, I agree with everyone else. End the Teambuilder "Beta" and come out with the real rosters on there. Put the real rosters on the game.

Say April Fools, we got y'all, and let's get on with this.

Re: NCAA 10 Rosters

I'm no wiz at making a game but I assume the roster file has a name during programming. Perhaps the roster guy saved his work and put a date on it (and someone grabbed the wrong date)

Example:

NCAA10Roster2.1.09;
NCAA10Roster2.10.09;

Or

Perhaps they save different versions with different names in case a mistake is made and/or a file is accidentally deleted and they need to go back (and someone grabbed the wrong version).

Example

NCAA10Roster_1;
NCAA10Roster_2;

etc...

I'm an attorney and I know that we do this with pleadings and other documents. If you are not careful, you can easily make a mistake and get the wrong file.

Additionally, someone has to be responsible for checking others work. If not, mistakes like this are going to continue to happen. Ultimately, in this case, the buck stops with the lead designer (head of the team).

Someone (some people) clearly screwed up. All I am saying is that it MIGHT not be roster guy.

Yeah, they have TESTERS that are supposed to catch this stuff. But from what I have seen, testers make like $7 an hour so it isn't like they have rocket surgeons testing the game.

Re: NCAA Football 10 Rosters Issue

I'm in no way happy about this roster situation, but do all you guys play online play now or something? I know I don't use the EA rosters. I use the ones that are done by the community (or whatever ones my online dynasty uses). Why is everyone so mad? Those online games against random people stink anyway. Put me in the group of "rather keep my Teambuilder schools."

now these rosters from TeamBuilder were the game's actual rosters and they are screwed. When has EA screwed up rosters like this? Leaving people off(freshman,sophomores and juniors) and leaving seniors from last year in. And you still tell me Keller's lawsuit has nothing to do with this HUGE blunder? Open your eyes my friend.

So you think Russ and Adam are lying? We can say many things about EA here, all bad, but I feel like the devs have always been straight up with us.

Re: NCAA Football 10 Rosters Issue

This is what I would like to see happen, but this solution, once again, would be like admitting the NCAA team is incompetent of doing it themselves..Which is obvious anyway

Also I would want some type of discount off the game if I put in time to doing the rosters for them, and I don't see them doing that.

Nah, I don't really agree with that. Do you feel that developers posting here is an admission of incompetence? It would be another form of feedback, which they have demonstrated is important to them. I think their involvement here is a hugely positive thing, and more involvement would be beneficial for everyone. (Madden hopefully proves that.)

And I don't get the "I want a discount if I do rosters" line of thinking. They don't promise anything in regards to rosters, we have just come to expect something better than what we have right now. There won't be one mention of rosters in their advertising campaign. And as I pointed out in my previous post, no matter how much effort is put in, they will not be correct in June/July. They need to change throughout the season, so either they do roster updates (I'm all for that, and that topic rarely is brought up) or the community does them (which has worked to this point).

Re: NCAA Football 10 Rosters Issue

Why is that? Can't you just download accurate rosters from the Locker and then sim/play or whatever to get your rosters for draft classes?

Sure he can. But then he can't bash NCAA like he always does.

Re: NCAA Football 10 Rosters Issue

So, they made two sets of rosters? right...

I'm glad I will be away for a few days and won't be able to pick up NCAA until the weekend after it releases. I might be able to hold off on buying it.

Re: NCAA Football 10 Rosters Issue

I think they should just scrap this garbage of a game called NCAA '10, hire a new development team, and begin working on next year's game.

Re: NCAA Football 10 Rosters Issue

I feel that the dev team is going to come up with a sufficient solution to this, one way or the other. Unless they are flat out lying, the fact that they've addressed the community with an intent to fix things bodes well.

My only fear is that these rosters are the final file turned in by the roster guy. I doubt Russ and co. will be typing away at roster edits for a week straight. If this is the most complete roster file than we're SOL.

TWO sets of rosters, this puzzled me as well?

It's June 10th, and a major problem has already been discovered in NCAA10.

Better now since they have a chance to fix it. If TeamBuilder wasn't there, we would have found out when we popped the game into the console.

Re: NCAA Football 10 Rosters Issue

I really wanted to make a "its ok becuz we have season showdown feature", but this is too disheartening. If they ship the game with these rosters, no way you get full 60$ tag.



BTW, there is a issue with U Texas roster as well. Brandon Collins is missing. He had 7 catches in the Bowl game against t OSU... The TAMU game before that he had 6 catches for 103 yards...he deserves to be in the game. Also, I am a Texas fan and all but I gotta call BS when I see it... Blaine Irby the starting TE... no way he deserves a 90 overall. He played in 3 games last year before he got injured. The only good game he had was 6 catches for 72 yards and a TD... and that was against FAU. Sometimes I wonder does EA just make these guys good because they figure that they go to big schools who are really good so they must be good too since those schools usually reload. IDK... I just think that it is crazy. Some of the guys on the Texas roster have jumped 20 overall points or more. Ex. Cody Johnson, who is going to be a beast if he stays the same. 255 pound rb with 89 speed... All I can say is wow, and even tho its my team and I would love it, its just not true.
