Yup college hoops 2k didn't have a committee they pretty much used the polls in the game. Basically everything has been done before on other games its not like ea is reinvented the wheel with a playoff. the excuses made for ea are stunning it's almost like they work for them

Prediction: won't be in this year and they will "run out of time" to get in next year.

This article has really lit this board up. Great variety of opinions. While there are still matters to be cleared up for the 4team playoffs, It would be a good play by EA to consider this. With the ability to customize schedules, conference alignments and bowl qualification tie ins for dynasty users, why not have the option added if they can successfully patch it? It's your choice if you want to use it .However this is not without caution based on past years attempt to patch without compromising a the game itself. So here's hoping that they at least make a run at it if they think they can get it in and if not have it added for next year

accuracy has never been ea's strong suit.

I wish it would be passed in. But there's no reason for EA to patch it in, and I imagine it would be a very difficult patch to add in without creating bugs.

There are guys who create and download many teams from Team Builder who probbaly would love to have the option of playing a tournament/Playoff with classic teams like 95 Nebraksa vs 91 Washington for example.... Just because it doesn't appease to you doesn't mean it would be worhtless to others.....I for one would have no problems using the feature to setup Playoffs for Classics teams i create. Here's some examples of things you can do with a playoff mode even if it's not installed in Dynasty mode.... http://www.dfnsports.com/bigten/2006...big-ten-teams/ ESPN’s All-Time Greatest College Football Playoff includes just 5 current Big Ten teams ESPN recently launched their All-Time Greatest College Football Playoff where they have compiled what they feel are the 32 greatest teams in the history of college football. Of those 32 teams, only 5 of the greatest teams in history comes from the current Big Ten Conference. Included on their list are the following Big Ten football teams: » 1947 Michigan » 2002 Ohio State » 1968 Ohio State » 1941 Minnesota » 1986 Penn State Another example of what a Tournament/Playoff mode would do for added replay value in the game. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2...f&sportCat=ncf I mean seriously for the guys who don't care about a playoff system that is your choice....but there are some guys who could also make great use of such a feature even if it's not included in a Dynasty mode for this year. In fact I'd be willing to bet money if EA used a Playoff system this year you'd have more guys on these forums at OS who would download classic teams and use the Playoff Mode outside of Dynasty mode more than they would use the single player Heisman mode inside of Dynasty.

Again... what's stopping you from just drawing a bracket on a piece of paper and doing this that way? You can still use your custom teams. You can still have a playoff.

How does EA win with some of you guys here? You rip them for inaccuracy in one thread, then you want them to patch in a not-accurate playoff mode in another. I just don't get it.

are you senial or what?

i've stated like 3 times now it doesn't have to be tied into Dynasty mode it could be just another feature outside of dynasty mode that has no bearing on accuarcy this year.

Have you not noticed other sports games give you a playoff option without even playing a franchise or dynasty mode?

You keep trying to make it tie into dynasty mode only this year and that is not what some people are asking for right now.

He made a valid point. Tournament mode is rather pointless as a human can do all of this with a sheet of paper and a pen. Tournament mode is really unnecessary in any modern sports title.
