NCAA Football 13 Will Not Include The University of South Alabama

[Mauer4MVP]

Pretty sure this was revealed a couple of months ago.

Some people go to great lengths to blame EA on anything. UoSA/NCAA didn't meet EA's deadline. Simply put it was better to not include them rather than risk it and have a Sam Keller lawsuit all over again if it didn't work.

ROLF you know that NCAA has to approve them to be in the game and then they have to get all sorts of legal rights from the university for them to be in the game. UoSA didn't meet EAs deadline that's the bottom line.

Here's hoping that they can patch them in later as update. As for the fact that the univ officials didn't know that weren't included doesn't mean that they failed to meet EA's deadline. I don't ever recall any universities officials having a video gaming task force on their payroll @ Maryland to verify inclusion in a video game. The NCAA's provides the list of FBS teams including new entries well in advance and this should have been confirmed. Full Sun Belt conference schedule along with two outer conf games ( Miss St & NC State). Hmm, now you got me wondering If this is the Big 10 or 12 conferences, would this have been missed?

It is not ea's responsibility to make sure collegiate institutions cover their bases and follow through on their end and provide all the needed info. The ad and Sid of USA should've set this ball in motion 2 years ago. Blame usa's administration for not handling this in the correct manner. Do y'all realize that usa's ad had no idea they weren't in the game until angry alumni notified them.

I don't know if I qualify as throwing blame at EA since I blame all three parties for this oversite but I am over your magic line of 25 years old. Now the more I have looked into it the less blame I put on EA and the only reason I still give them any is because if they had made it a priority to get a response from the NCAA or UoSA they would have gotten one. Does that mean they should have to hound them for an answer no, but could they have to get a response? I know an old owner for a buisness I used to work at was terrible at responding to anyone, if people wanted a response they had to bug him frequently for him to finally get back to you. I am not saying that is a good way to do things just that it happens. So while EA did not get a response and that means they could not put it in I feel that if it was higher on their list of priorities they would have been able to get confirmation.
Now if I am way off base and EA did keep attempting to get a response and the NCAA and UoSA just ignored it I take back saying EA had any fault.

even more proof that this had nothing to do with laziness or lack of effort on EA's part. Again give me one sound reason why they would put any effort at all into the other three school's and then just quit when it got to the Jags. so far in this thread I haven't heard one.

Lazy is just the word frustrated fans and consumer are rightly or wrongly using to voice frustration.

I think it goes to a lack of QA, which again isn't a lazy issues its just that a quality issue. Like the time EA shows us they fixed Iowa's fasemasks, then when the game is released they are wrong again NCAA 11 was the game I think. Just a lack of QA IMO.
