BCS Will Continue as the Postseason Format For All Years of Dynasty in NCAA Football

Doesn't matter to me. Would have been nice to have though. Could have sold more units promoting that.

You're right, it was 15-years ago. And 15-years ago, we didn't have a playoff either. That's why people expect it.

What about the previous fourteen years then, or every single release between then and now? I assert that if one were to accurately form an expectation, one should form such an expectation from strong - and more importantly recent - trends rather than from one-off examples.

That anything should be expected from things that were done nearly two decades ago when both college football and the video games industry have changed dramatically over that timespan strikes me as illogical and ridiculous.

Are they trying to do whatever they can to make us NOT want to buy this game? Every bit of news that has come out so far has either been bad or came included with bad videos/screenshots.

how effing dare there. i cant believe EA did this. You guys are a joke EA not that you read this stuff anyways. multi million dollars and you cant figure out a playoff system.

I can see both sides here.
1. People want realistic
- Unfortunately EA doesnt give us the most realistic aspect possible. (Madden 25, 2K, The Show)

2. It's been known for sure for some time now how the process was going to work.
- Some of us like me wouldn't care if they took the top 4 teams from the BCS formula because NO ONE is going to go back and look at every teams stats who they played how tough their schedule was to determine and make sure that the top 4 teams were right.

3. As much as I love NCAA they should've fought harder to put this in. Then gave us the choice between choosing Playoff or BCS and change it year in year out like we can do with changing conferences.

Also reason why people won't buy it because they're tired of the same old thing especially when EA only focuses on one thing. A lot of people want gameplay fixed and when you see 2K, Show you only want that. Realism and the choice to such things like a playoff.

um yes we have, in the older games they gave us the option. Someone asked if we'd like them to just make up a method of selecting the teams, yes i'd take that. It's very simple, take your top 4 BCS teams and have them play in a playoff. Was that so hard? At least it's something. It's not like they're going to use the same criteria as the committee will use because the committee will have human influence. They already give us ridiculous BCS Championship games featuring teams you won't ever see in the Championship game your entire life. So what's the big deal with creating some sort of way to pick the 4 teams for the playoffs?

how hard would it be take the top 4 teams in the BCS system and have them play that was hard. maybe i should be paid a crazy salary for figuring it out.
