NCAA Football 10 Rosters Issue

Re: NCAA Football 10 Rosters Issue

Maybe we should prepare for the worst. Meaning that people should start posting corrected rosters/depth charts for there teams.

I've started messing/working with the rosters that are currently available and looking at what needs to be done to get them in a better state than they are currently so that when I do get my hands on the game, creating the rosters won't be as tedious then.

I've looked at freshmen that need to be added, players that are omitted, and things of that nature. Thus far, I've only done the Big East, but of course nothing is finalized(how can it without the game..lol).

While I remain optimistic that something will be done to at the very least correct the in game rosters, it doesn't hurt to have a plan in place just in case.

Just a thought.

The only problem is, you only have a certain number of slots to download teams (10 with game, 25 with preorder i believe). While this is a good solution if you want just your conference or division to be correct, it shouldnt be a relied upon solution.

I know we all are looking at ways to make this go away, to fix it, but at the time, we dont have the options available to make it right. Hopefully EA can fix this before or at launch and get us respectable rosters. The roster guys usually have their work cut out for them, but this would be unprecedented.

I assume that if Adam or Russ knew of ways for us to help, they would let us know. If we sent in depth charts, or links to any articles, would that help?

Re: NCAA Football 10 Rosters Issue

some of the generic ones have less than 60 as well though. I was going to use the cupcake as my roster base for my created team, but at 58 players, thats kind of low.

I just have this sneaking suspicion that "football people" are not working on this games roster file. With the new recruiting adjustments(recruits being not rated as highly) teams with no freshman will be a mess for years in dynasty.

Re: NCAA 10 Rosters

you do understand that if EA changed what they were doing because of Keller's lawsuit then they would be admitting fault right? That would be a dumb move by EA

Acts of remedial measures are inadmissible in court under the Federal Rules of Evidence. EA certainly has a legal team that has advised them of this.

I not creating the teams via teambuilder. I'm only using teambuilder as a reference. I have a spreadsheet going for the Big East right now where I am adding in freshmen(created players) and fixing any other mistakes.

I'll still have to make all the changes in game, but I'm at least getting the research and development...haha...work done ahead of time, so that when I do have the game, I just have to plug away into the game's rosters.

Not the best of solutions, but at this time, its the only thing I've come up with to try and lessen the burden of creating accurate rosters once the game drops.

Gotcha, i misunderstood. Any info that can help is good info

Re: NCAA Football 10 Rosters Issue

see i just don't get this way of thinking. i'm an offline dynasty guy too and this year i'll be playing with a CAS so obviously the roster thing doesn't affect me much, but even if you play with a default team isn't your roster revamped after just one year of play? and within 3-4 years completely different? I just don't get how for anyone playing any type of dynasty the rosters are really that big of deal since obviously college rosters have so much turnover in such a short period of time anyway.

Colorado has NO freshmen and hardly any depth on that roster. Their starting LT Nate Solder is a converted TE....this happened last season...but he is STILL listed as a TE on the new roster. There are players still on this roster that have already graduated...

The thing is,i don't have the time nor the energy to completely overhaul and edit this entire roster....on top of about 100 other teams rosters. I never minded a few tweaks here and there in past rosters but this is completely absurd. Oh well,im only one person who wont be purchasing this game. No biggy.

Re: NCAA Football 10 Rosters Issue

All I care about is having accurate draft classes for Madden. If I can't do that then NCAA is a total and utter waste for me.

Also, if the discs were already pressed, as was hinted at, there isn't likely to be an on-disc and immediate solution. EA isn't going to repress all those discs to fix it.

They will likely send a roster to someone like OS or Pastapadre that is the correct one to post when the games is released. How that works with or effects Teambuilder I have no idea and don't really care.

I do find it funny that, has others have pointed out, without Teambuilder no one would have caught this early enough and the game would just ship with trash rosters.

Imagine the board explosion then!!

Re: NCAA Football 10 Rosters Issue

I get that, but I still don't see how it ruins the entire game mode. it may ruin that first season, but after that it shouldn't be a big deal since you can just recruit that many more players. Also the short answer to that issue is to recreate TTU with teambuilder use a generic roster instead of the Tech template and then edit them to match.

Some teams have very little depth which affects 2-3 years of your dynasty. This means that in year two you are forced to play true freshaman because there were not enough players on the original roster.

This stinks for three reasons:

1) It's unrealistic. True freshman rarely start in college football.
2) Now that true freshman are going to have lower ratings it means that you are stuck starting bad players.
3) It makes it so you rarely get to see current backups turn into starters. Since the rosters are so small you lose a lot of RFr and So. from the rosters.

I prefer playing 2-3 years of dynasty before I start to see tons of recruits. This is how it should be. 2009 FR and SO shouldn't be erased and replaced with 2010 recruits. With smaller rosters this is exactly what happens. By year two or three all the players are made up recruits.

Does not help teambuilder rosters, so we can start our dynasties, what 3 weeks after we get the game?

True,though i hope someone out there can rate the Buffs incoming freshmen and other players not included on the roster in a realistic fashion

i was worried about that too, but didn't i hear something about getting draft classes from the net this year in Madden? like you can do online franchise by yourself so you can get draft classes? i'm usually a big import draft classes guy, but this seems better to me because i'd think they be more accurate.
