So the number of FBS schools still stay at 120 and whatever extra teams go into FCS pool.

And then if they did add some 1aa schools to do that people would bitch and moan that they didn't add THEIR school or EVERY 1aa school or something wasn't accurate or the ratings or this or that. Someone is always going to complain.

If you think about how many 1aa teams play a 1a team at some point in the schedule, they would have had to create a lot of 1aa schools to get the schedules real like you want. And spending the time to make all of those schools would take more time.

and its not half assed just because you have to replace one team with another. Theres a reason they do that. And its the same reason as to why they don't allow you to just make conferences bigger when you do custom conferences, it would screw up the schedule of every team.

I'll try to use the example for you again. You create JMU, you want to add them to the Big East without having them replace another team. So how do you determine their schedule. In order to be real like you want they would have to have a conference schedule. So that would mean they gotta play lets say Rutgers, WVU, Cincy, Louisville, USF, UConn for their conference schedule then it screws up the schedules for every one of those schools which will then screw up the schedules of every school those schools play which will then screw up the schools that play those schools. Confused? haha, but i'm sure you understand what i'm saying.

yea i'd like to know more about this so that i can start to do some preparation if thats true. Much like how i started gathering team's custom music before the game came out, i'd like to know how this feature actually works so i can start designing logos and such.

Ah, I should have realized that. My bad.
The FCS pool seems like a reasonable idea. It might cause a problem with the size of dynasty files or something though, as others have said. If not, perhaps they could implement it next year.

In the meantime, I still think just replacing FCS Southwest or whatever with a created FCS school is pretty much just as good, if that is going to be possible. And even if it's not possible to replace the generic FCS schools, I'm still not convinced that the added FCS pool would be a big win from a realism standpoint over simply replacing a mostly irrelevant team with a created FCS school. (i.e. if you're Arkansas and want to play against FCS Missouri State, just download Missouri State and replace Middle Tennessee State of the Sun Belt with them. It's really not that a huge realism loss, you're never going to run across Middle Tennessee State anyway.)

Yes, this is exactly how I would see myself using this feature. i.e. get 10-12 schools and swap them with the current FCS XYZ fake schools. I wouldn't mind if there was no progression on those teams (i.e. year after year of same rosters), but this would make the experience more fun.

OMT, could you clarify if we can do this?

Thanks,
