There has to be some irony somewhere in the fact that all the NCAA rubes on this board are pissed at EA for not doing something (making fully accurate depictions of current collegiate football players) that would be legally impermissible for them to actually do. NCAA does not have rosters the way that Madden has rosters. Up until the they included the roster share feature (and probably even now), the vast majority of gamers play this game with the "QB #12" system or with fake generated names.

The community is going to make its own roster changes anyway. I'd like it if the developers at least got us close, but I'm much more worried about how the gameplay turns out than something like this.

its not the fact that the community can change them, its the fact that you cant use your fixed rosters online. so people like myself who love to hop online and play with my favorite team get shafted.

Agreed but so many people are like get rid of this or that to fix the rosters. I'm dishin out 64 dollars (includes tax) I want the game that was intended to be released. I don't think its fair to the consumer we get rid of a few features to fix a problem they caused in the first place. Its simple, fix the glitch and if it causes the release to wait another couple of weeks so be it, but if I wanted an updated Roster of 2010 then I'll go buy NCAA 09 and update it myself. People should stop settling for less to get something that should be in the game in the first place.

Some folks don't have that kind of time to edit all of the rosters and add freshmen for all 117 teams.

I don't want my comments in my previous posts to be taken out of context, Yea EA made a mistake, however none of us are mistake free at anything we do. I am in no way directing personal insults at anyone on the dev team and I am quite thankful for their presense on these and other forums. I guess when you have spent over a thousand dollars on madden/ and NCAA titles since the very begginig of both series, the game begins to become a way of life almost. So when I hear of such roster problems it is dis-heartening on a personal level to some extent. It is just a video game though which carries little weight in the ramifications of life.

I pray the rosters are fixed.

Agree. I use Colorado and Colorado only in offline dynasties. Their roster is such a disaster right now i'm afraid it makes the game unplayable for me. If they come up with a decent salution that doesn't take months i might reconsider.

I think most of the "rubes" you speak of are fully aware with how EA has done the reosters for NCAA for years. I for one am fully aware that they can't user their real names. For years though they have tried to replicate the rosters by number and skill. you just had to know who QB #12 is. The problem occurs when they have players that are obviously not the correct person or number for that position. I don't like to take the time to change everything but am happy knowing that QB #8 is Jeremiah Masoli for example.

Every year there have been key players (starters) that did not appear to even be in the game and that is just frustrating. This year it seems to be especially bad.

It is sad to see NCAA become such a bad series. 2009 was broken out of the box and now 2010 is broken out of the box. This game should not be released. Why charge someone $60.00 for a broken game? EA is becoming a Used Car Salesman. Here is a game for $60.00. A few games in and you realize it is broken. Difference is you can take the car back to the used car lot, beat the salesmans bleep, and get your money back. You purchase software and you are stuck.
