NCAA Football 10 Rosters Issue

Personally, I dont think anybody is going to fix the current rosters.. The community might, but its going to take forever. By that point, NCAA 10 will be a distant memory.

TEAMBUILDER CREATED TEAMS < ACCURATE ROSTERS


I don't mean to sound negative and critical of the devs but where is the quality control here??

It took me 5 minutes to find out these rosters were garbage, and EA just figured this out? Did EA not even look at the rosters. Is the new roster guy a sub contractor from India?

It's a given the community will fix it. They do every year. RomanCeasar's rosters were spot on last year and he updated them every week. There are people that will fix them. Believe it.

But, yes, I agree with everyone else. End the Teambuilder "Beta" and come out with the real rosters on there. Put the real rosters on the game.

Say April Fools, we got y'all, and let's get on with this.

Example NCAA10Roster_1; NCAA10Roster_2; etc... I'm an attorney and I know that we do this with pleadings and other documents. If you are not careful, you can easily make a mistake and get the wrong file. Additionally, someone has to be responsible for checking others work. If not, mistakes like this are going to continue to happen. Ultimately, in this case, the buck stops with the lead designer (head of the team). Someone (some people) clearly screwed up. All I am saying is that it MIGHT not be roster guy.

Yeah, they have TESTERS that are supposed to catch this stuff. But from what I have seen, testers make like $7 an hour so it isn't like they have rocket surgeons testing the game.

I'm in no way happy about this roster situation, but do all you guys play online play now or something? I know I don't use the EA rosters. I use the ones that are done by the community (or whatever ones my online dynasty uses). Why is everyone so mad? Those online games against random people stink anyway. Put me in the group of "rather keep my Teambuilder schools."

Leaving people off(freshman,sophomores and juniors) and leaving seniors from last year in. And you still tell me Keller's lawsuit has nothing to do with this HUGE blunder? Open your eyes my friend.

So you think Russ and Adam are lying? We can say many things about EA here, all bad, but I feel like the devs have always been straight up with us.

Nah, I don't really agree with that. Do you feel that developers posting here is an admission of incompetence? It would be another form of feedback, which they have demonstrated is important to them. I think their involvement here is a hugely positive thing, and more involvement would be beneficial for everyone. (Madden hopefully proves that.)

And I don't get the "I want a discount if I do rosters" line of thinking. They don't promise anything in regards to rosters, we have just come to expect something better than what we have right now. There won't be one mention of rosters in their advertising campaign. And as I pointed out in my previous post, no matter how much effort is put in, they will not be correct in June/July. They need to change throughout the season, so either they do roster updates (I'm all for that, and that topic rarely is brought up) or the community does them (which has worked to this point).

Sure he can. But then he can't bash NCAA like he always does.
