Everett Golson?

[ndirish6776]

Anyone here have any idea if he'll be in the game or not? EA obviously included Pryor two years ago after he declared for the supp draft in June, and the Golson news broke just a couple weeks before Pryor's did that year. With the little attention NCAA seems to be getting this year, I wouldn't be shocked if they just left him in the game.

I'm assuming most people here wont care, but if I'm going to have any chance with ND online, I'm going to want Golson and not Tommy Effin Rees in there.

Doing stuff like removing QB#5 from ND after Everett Golson gets booted is the kind of thing that proves that EA bases their rosters on real life amateur athletes. I'm sure EA needs to try to mitigate that type of proof as much as possible so I serious doubt that they'll change that.

His #number will be there. They take it out, just like with Pryor last year, EA/NCAA will have a **** storm...

Can't be any slower than Tommy Rees.

If you want a mobile QB with Notre Dame, use Malik Zaire

It's pretty cheap if you use Golson if he's on there.

And I'm a die-hard Notre Dame fan

Wouldn't use him in a dynasty, but I'd use him in a heartbeat online. I try and be realistic in dynasties. Online, I'll do anything minus cheesing for a win. I started Rees last year even though he wasn't the starter, but just because he was the best passer and EA gave him some mobility. They'll probably come to their senses and give him about a 50 for speed and acc/agl this year though.

I see your point but there's so many other ways to prove EA bases the rosters off real life amateur atheletes. Joeckel, Mingo, Milliner all came out early and we all know the "fictional" players at those positions in NCAA 13 will be gone in NCAA 14. Consequently Ole Miss will suddenly have a stud freshman DE who just happens to share qualities of Nkemdiche.

All that being said, I imagine he'll be in game simply because the final rosters always feel like they were completed long before the game ships.
