Just because the feature may not be great for you, doesn't mean it isn't a very important addition that will please many NCAA gamers. Some of you need to think outside the box every now and then. I've complained my fair share about EA but I give credit where it is due. Some of you just bitch and aren't happy unless you're complaining. There comes a time when you have to understand that this game isn't going to be perfect and it's a continuous process to get it there. Quit crying.

I think people are well within there rights to express there views both for and against any new feature they add no matter how popular it might seem.

For all you dunces that dont look at the big picture:

Customizable Conferences is a foreshadow, well seems like one. It could be a foreshadow for FCS schools finally being re-introduced and CAS being re-introduced, or one or the other.Please be FCS schools...

I am a traditionalist as well, but I gladly welcome this, because I can finally put ND in a conference and give them a taste, well virtually, of what actually competing for something really feels like.

So then you are stuck with either a conference based dynasty or playing as your favorite team but not getting as much head-to-head play. We felt the most important part was being able to put everyone's user team into the same conference in online dynasty. We accomplished this. We aren't going to throw away a nice improvement to online dynasty because we can't get every bell and whistle done in a year.

Online Dynasty or not, this is going to be a great feature. After I get bored of playing a traditional dynasty, I'll get the chance to sort out teams into dream conferences & see how everyone does. The idea of getting the chance to prove if USC can compete in the Big XII conference is going to fun to watch. Also, I'll have the opportunity to see what the Big XII would be like if they would have taken TCU instead of Baylor...Although it would be nice to have the specific logos on the field, when it comes down to it, the only thing that matters 6 months down the line is the gameplay. NCAA 09 has its quirks every now and then, but I still enjoy playing Dynasty on it...This new feature just gives me something else to tinker with.

Sums up my thoughts as well.

If you read the blog carefully you'll see that it clearly states that this feature allows you to move Ohio State to a lower conference, but not to remove them completely. if this was forshadowing to FCS or CAS than you'd be able to remove them completely

Well yeah, if this was the #1 focus it would be a LOT deeper and you wouldn't be hearing about it now.

Will this affect any other ratings in recruiting? Also bowl tie-ins are the same for the conferences right? Sorry if this has been answered, I didn't see it in any posts by OMT on here.

Yes, this will effect your recruiting for "Conference Prestige." Also, conference tie ins for bowls will apply when changing conferences.

Adam, you're killing me!!!! Can you just release or drop a hint on what the big feature is and if FCS or CAS are in the game? I assume that you probably can't, but please?????
