Ah okay. That almost sounds worse to me. I suppose it is more realistic, but how realistic is it to play 4 FCS schools--especially fake ones like FCS Southwest or what have you? I don't know any teams that play more than one.

That was a pretty poor design choice.

Yes, it could have been done much better. As long as they don't count in the conference standings, I'll be a tad more content. Just seems like laziness that they classed all conferences with fewer than 8 teams together. I'm hoping the FCS games are a last resort, but it doesn't sound like it. It should at least try to schedule games with other independents and teams that are lacking games, but I would not be surprised if you saw a ton of FCS games... but in the scheme of things, for my plan to create retro alignments, makes more sense. Schedules were only 10-11 games back then so a 12th game against a cupcake for many teams I can tolerate.

And it wont' increase their prestige. Think about it. They basically have 4 teams that are rated D+ at the best. If you were doing a dynasty and made all your OOC games against the generic FCS teams, do you think you would have a good strength of schedule? I doubt that at 12-0, with 9 games against the FCS (4 team conference, every other game against weakest opponent possible) that you would help your case. If you do, that is another flaw.
the rule is that you can only count 1 1-AA win towards eligibility, but in the NCAA games, that rule is not enforced. in the NCAA games, winning is the most important thing to making prestige go up

Still no word on whether conference patches will be adjusted to schools moving to new conferences in the game. Alabama will play with a SEC patch no matter what conference they are in.

Actually I think NCAA 11 does have this enforced. One year I took navy and and gave them as many FCS teams as I could(not sure why I did now). They ended up either 11-1 or 12-0, but didn't even go to a bowl game due to lack eligible wins.

It will, but it won't. There will be more than 120 teams in 1-A, with some schools moving up-mainly to fill the WAC, so in that sense, the limit won't be 120.

But in spirit, you probably won't be able to increase whatever the actual number is.
