They say they cant go above 120 teams....

But all of the blank FCS teams, that we cant edit, are in the game too !

So let us replace those FCS teams with TeamBuilder teams, are atleast let us edit the FCS teams !

That's only good if you are talking the present. I'm going back to make historical alignments. The 1978 Southland Conference only has 4 teams that currently in FBS. All the other teams are FCS or don't play football any more. Now if i wanted, I could do Teambuilder, bring up some of the schools that played back then and switch out the Sun Belt teams that don't exist and some others. But I was content with having my 4-team Southland. They didn't play FCS schools back then (as in they didn't play FCS teams in conference)

So, yes, if you making the WAC of today, that makes sense; but if you making smaller conferences of the past, it is unnecessary. Schedule FCS games OOC if they are lacking games, but don't force a 4-team conference into a 7-game schedule.

Oh, I understand that. I think it would be better if they weren't called FCS West, for example, and just some made up name like Seattle State, or something. Would be a little better, at least.

I just like to assume I'm ignorant as to why things can't be done in the game and roll with it.

Would like to know the answer to this as well. I'd be fine even if they simply removed the patch altogether when you move to a conference and not have anything on the jersey. Would be kind of silly to have a Pac-12 team still wearing the pretty bold conference patch while playing in the Big-12 or something.

Half your work is done, because Boise's already in the MWC for the 2011 season. The other changes (Fresno State, Hawaii, Nevada to MWC; TCU to Big East) happen in 2012.

I only have one question... probably be in future versions, but are we able to make certain teams not able to play in bowl games, such as USC this year?

If you look at the screenshot of editing the BCS tie-ins, its has RB/LB next to "BCS Bowls". Could this mean editing other bowls is possible by changing screens? According to the blogs not everything has been revealed...

Also, there has been nothing stating FCS teams will be generic Southwest, East, etc. They could be included but just not announced. I would refrain from criticizing something you are not sure hasn't been changed...
