BCS Will Continue as the Postseason Format For All Years of Dynasty in NCAA Football

Because most players don't understand football and/or they want to win NCs every year and not worry about possibly losing.

If they could give the commish more control it could make for a great OD experience. Make the coach poll able to be edited by the commish which would adjust the BCS.

Members/Coaches in the online dynasty should be able to vote on the polls.

I wish they would insert some kind of playoff in the game, but I'm not torn up about it. If you want realism, there is no playoff this season, and I'm sure it's a logistical nightmare for the developers to switch the format of Dynasty after one season. All I want is for the games to feel as realistic as possible, I don't want my safeties to blow coverage every play unless they are truly awful at covering (which then begets the question: WHY ARE THEY A SAFETY?!?). I don't want my linemen playing patty cake and being sucked into a block that they aren't supposed to make. I don't want to be able to predict when a CPU player is going to break a tackle (typically in a close game on Heisman on their final drive). If they can have the players play true to their rating, with the updated presentation, and with whatever they add to dynasty, I can live without a playoff system.

But...what about realism past one year into dynasty?

That's the main thing. Realism past year one. That is why EA allowed custom conferences.

I understand that. And if you would've read the very next sentence, I give a possible explanation: that it could be a logistical nightmare to code a switch past year one.

The conference switch code and the playoff after year one code are different. In addition, EA was very familiar with the code needed for conference alignment that they could put it into the game without error.

never understood this logic.

Fixing glitches and AI has been brought up in multiple threads by multiple people, who says people have no passion for it, just because they want a postseason format?

We can want multiple things to be fixed/added to the game.

Let's keep the discussion on-topic, please. Thanks.

"It wouldn't be realistic" is the dumbest excuse I've ever heard. Yeah, because these games are all about realism. 2-4 teams still in the top 25, Alabama sucking it up while Toledo goes undefeated every year, 2 and 3 loss AQ teams ahead of 1 loss AQ teams. Last time I checked, the BS system won't be in place in 2022. Yet it will be in my dynasty, how realistic. ODU won't be in FBS football next year, yet they will be in NCAA 14. How realistic. Teams playing 11 game seasons, how realistic. Teams with losing records making bowl games, how realistic. This would not have been hard to do at all. 4 teams, users pick the sites since we can make any site a neutral site game now. For those who are about to say "Then people would complain about how the playoffs are picked!" I wouldn't. I'd be much happier as long as the real system is in place. Except I'm sure EA would've screwed that up since they still have the Fiesta Bowl decorations hanging up when I'm playing the championship. Stop making excuses. I enjoy the game but anyone who doesn't see this as pathetic and just a way for EA to plug it in next year and say "Look at this great new feature!" is lying to themselves.

And you know this so definitively based on what, exactly?

According to Wikipedia, the Madden NFL code base is over 10 million lines of code. I'm sure that NCAA is probably similar. Nothing gets added to such a monolith easily.
