Why EA Needs to Patch the New Playoff into NCAA Football 13

[blkrptnt819]

It will not be in effect for 2 years and on top of that i'm not a fan of the playoff system at all. So no, I hope they don't put it in until the absolutely have to.

Won't happen. Even if everything was ironed out IRL, EA knows that this sort of addition is a key feature in a future iteration that will draw hype. It would be dumb of them to implement this as a patch post-release without the buildup they could be getting if they announced it for NCAA 14 a few months before launch.

If the details are ironed out by, lets say, October, then yes it should be patched in. I'm not sure about EA's game cycle, but I think if by October 1 the details are ironed out it should take maybe a month to make the playoffs with testing and patch it in for the proper season and beyond.

I highly doubt EA would ever try anything like this though based on their history of a sheer lack of post release support for their products.

The NCAA hasnt even given specific details about the playoff system so I dont see it coming to the game until their is some more details on the system itself. Yea EA slacks from time to time but why add something that the public knows little about

Mission accomplished indeed. The one good thing to come out of it is that it lets me add a few more bad actors to my ignore list.

They wont patch this in ever. Wont be in next year either.

Championship game will happen in Jan 2015.

They will never add this to an old version of the game as they want you to buy the new one.

There will be a ton of hype around the playoff system for the 2015 version....wait an see.

As someone with experience said earlier in this thread, that is probably not as easy as it looks. Some of you let what you want to happen control what you expect to happen, even if it isnt realistic.

Of course it isn't realistic cause we're talking about EA
