NCAA Football 13 Will Not Include The University of South Alabama

[Twenty Four]

I'm not sure how EA couuld not have known. They are listed in the Sun Belt, they're on the schedule for the Sun Belt teams, in East Alabama and West Florida (big population) its groundbreaking news that USA in D-1 now. Maybe EA could open their eyes and get things right

All of you are assuming USA didn't tell EA. Maybe USA and the NCAA for that matter didn't think they needed to let EA knoe abput something already announced

right so they did all their research on the other three, but when it got to the Jags they just ran out of juice. got it, okay.

How's this?

I'll assume that EA knew, but because of the Sam Keller lawsuit and the fact that SOUTH ALABAMA DID NOT MEET THE DEADLINE ON INFORMING EA, that EA said, "At the risk of having a petty lawsuit filed against us that will take up valuable time, we'll wait until next year to put them in, they didn't meet the deadline, so tough luck."

How this is anyone but South Alabama's fault is beyond the realm of common sense.

EA has had their misgivings in the past, just as everyone else on this mudball we call Earth, but this is South Alabama's fault, and before EA put out a statement, I didn't see anyone take the opposite stance. That doesn't mean no one did, it just means I personally did not see it.

I agree that it is south alabama/ncaa fault. For all the people saying it is ea game and to do research are forgetting that there is a license in place. Meaning nothing can be done regarding teams or conferences until approved by the NCAA. This is the same reason there isn't a playoff option.

Anyone throwing blame at ea is showing their age. People under the age of 25 really have no understanding of how business and the real world works. when you want your institution represented in an officially licensed product of an organization you belong to, it is your institutions responsibility to provide accurate and timely information and go through he proper legal Channels to do so. It is not ea's responsibility to make sure collegiate institutions cover their bases and follow through on their end and provide all the needed info. The ad and Sid of USA should've set this ball in motion 2 years ago. Blame usa's administration for not handling this in the correct manner. Do y'all realize that usa's ad had no idea they weren't in the game until angry alumni notified them.

The problem isn't with the school not making it in, the reason they gave is perfectly understandable and they said it will be in next year. The problem is with the ability to add them in your own. I personally don't fault a dev for not putting every little thing a game but when I'm not giving the ability to add my own flavor to it is when it becomes a detriment.
