NCAA Football 13 Will Not Include The University of South Alabama

I can hear it now..."Gas is up to $4! It's because EA Sports didn't include real time physics in NCAA 13!"

But it is a shame for South Alabama fans that their team isn't in.

You mean that Southern Alabama should've been on top of.

This. Plus they will be in my game. I'll be getting mine from the fcs thread on this very site. The South Alabama that gets made there will probably be better rated and more realistic anyway. Plus they'll come with an extra set of unis that ea probably wouldn't have had in. I doubt I'll miss Idaho or Eastern Michigan all that much.

Even as someone who has lived in Mobile and would definitely run with them, I can't say that I am that disappointed .

Pretty crazy that Forza can add whole car packs every month, but EA can't add a school later on.
Meh.. no biggie

I am not saying anything crazy like this is a deal breaker for me just that I am disappointed.

Just follow the FCS thread and you will find someone who will make an accurate South Alabama team to use. Not very time consuming on your end at all.

That is not a very strong example. Adding a car is nowhere near the same as adding another school. You have to completely re-program the scheduling of all other 123 schools if you add another school. A better comparison would be adding a car is the same as adding a uniform option for a school which by the way EA is implementing this year I believe.

They're right on schedule. This is their final year of transition, in which they will play a full FBS schedule. This is also the exact same thing UTSA, TSU, and UMass are doing this season.

This isn't something that will keep me from purchasing the game, but it really is just another example of laziness and incompetence on the part of EA in regard to this game. I would imagine that any true fan of college football as a whole, not just of one team, was aware that the University of South Alabama would be playing a full FBS schedule this year. The fact that EA is making a college football game, supposedly including all FBS schools, and they dropped the ball on this one is a bit pathetic. They seriously should scrap their "if it's in the game" slogan.
