Anyone else going generated names this year?

Since the rosters will not import in to Madden I'm thinking I might just play with generated names this year. I'll go through and add a few real guys in there but why wait a week or so after release to start your Dynasty. Most of the star players are gone by year three anyway.

Anyone else just using generated names in NCAA 13?

I will until named rosters come out. I am getting the game friday, so I actually may have to wait close to a week for names, but that gives me a week to get settled in to scouting, recruiting, and fixing my personal slider set.

Nope, gotta wait for rosters, especially since the gators have abunch of good young players that'll be around 3-4 seasons. Ill probably play some RTG & my OD or something until they come out.

I may start my rebuild dynasty with generated names, as I will be a one star team OC in a crappy conference with noone I really care about but for my main (stay at USF) dynasty, I will probably wait for real names.

Nope, never. I follow college football way too much to not have random names annoy me. Something about seeing #7 James McQueen at QB for USC just drives me crazy.

Re: Anyone else going generated names this year?

With Studio Updates in the game, real names will mean that much more than in past years. Each time I see "Brad Miller", or whatever random name they give him, as the QB for KSU in my first season will just make me sad.

Re: Anyone else going generated names this year?

I agree BA. The studio updates really add another level of realism and that will just be amplified by having the real platers inputted. I understand doing generated names for the first few days but we (and other editors) should be done within a week or shorter. Being that they're free, might as well just get the real names.

Re: Anyone else going generated names this year?

I'll probably do what I usually do...play a few one-off games and then start a single-season dynasty to get a feel for off-field changes before I get into my full one. For the single-season, I usually end up going with generated names just to get into it. Once that's done, rosters should easily be out. If they're out before I start my test one, I'll use those for that, too.
