Re: NCAA Football 10 Blog: Custom Conferences
it is realistic because it happens all the time. do you not follow college football? the recent ACC raid and WKU into the Sunbelt to name a couple. and again it's only practical to you because it fits the way YOU game. just as many people play offline and the feature is in for both so i'm tired of hearing how great is only for OD
i haven't read one quote making that claim. I simply say that without the changing logos the feature has very little value for me. and it's not as if people are starting multiple threads about the topic. they are only giving feedback on the new feature within the feature's thread which is why we have these boards in the first place.
thank them for bringing back a feature from old gen and doing it half way? okay sure thanks EA, and again no one here is whining. if EA didn't want our feedback they wouldn't start threads to introduce "new" features so if people discussing the positives and negatives of the feature annoys you than i suggest you stop coming here.
and i can appreciate that, but frustration comes from the fact that the devs basically tell us that the tech exists in the game, but then really never give an answer as to why it didn't make it into this feature.
I challenge you to find one gamer or CFB fan who thinks that a school changing conferences wouldn't change the field/uniform logos if they had them in play. with some other features i would agree that it's difficult to settle on something everyone can agree on, but with this feature there is no grey room. it maybe a win for you, but for many it's neither a win or loss because it's not functional and they won't use it because realism would be lost from game.

It's not ridiculous to want the conference field logos to be correct. What is ridiculous is to complain about it in such as way as though they should not have even bothered with custom conferences unless they made sure the field logos were correct.
It's impossible for EA to please everyone, and they certainly don't please me all the time, but people should be thanking them for the custom conferences feature, not being whiny sourpusses about it.
As a user, I understand the general sentiment of being frustrated that things don't seem to be done 100%. But as a software engineer by trade, I also understand that you have to make choices and sacrifices in a project. Just because something is technically feasible and seemingly easy to implement does not mean it is worth taking the time away from other things. And believe me, no feature is as easy to implement as it seems.
The bottom line is that the conference field logos issue is a fit and finish issue. That is never as important as a functionality issue, or data loss, or most other types of issues. NCAA has enough functionality glitches and data loss problems without further impairing their ability to fix them by trying to please everyone's standards of realism. OMT points it out all the time, but it can't be stressed enough. Those feature requests threads are enormous, and if you asked 100 people for their top 3 wishes, you would get 100 different answers. Development time is limited. Just to get the custom conferences feature in at all is a win for us.
