NCAA Football 10 Rosters Issue

06:11 PM - June 10, 2009 by Russell_Kiniry_EA

Hey guys... so we are aware of the issue with no (or few) freshmen on some teams in TeamBuilder and yes the same issues are found on the NCAA 10 disc. Over the past few days, one of our top priorities has been investigating solutions.

The TeamBuilder teams require some data on the disc to set Depth Charts for every team created before they can be used in a game. For example if you use the Cupcake roster as a starting point, NCAA 10 will give you a default Depth Chart for the Cupcakes for your TeamBuilder team (which you can edit in game). This means any changes we make could cause some problems with teams already created using TeamBuilder. So we need to ensure we are taking to proper steps to correct the issues.

We understand the concerns with how this can affect Dynasty mode and Online Games, so we are working hard to have a solution in place before launch on July 14th.

There are both generic and team specific rosters on the TB site.

Haha,

I believe it was an accurate analogy though. We continually get jerked around by NCAA every year with these types of problems.. Its ridiculous a factor of the game this substantial has been completely botched, and it took us to bring it to their attention... yes, something as basic as rosters.... I look forward to seeing the outcome of the situation and the quick-fix they come up with.

I'm just going to say thanks EA dev team for trying to find a solution to the roster issue and I wish you well on correcting the problem.

I for one am not panicking because I deal with issues in my life often. For example, my light bill might be due on the 13th and I don't get paid until the 15th, but my kid had a medical emergency that exhausted my light bill money on the 4th and its now the 7th. I have time between the 7th and the 13th to FIGURE OUT A SOLUTION.

I could give many more examples but my point is this. The game did not RELEASE with the wrong roster, teambuilder did, and I didn't and am not using that feature. The EA team is aware of the problem and has time to find and implement a solution. So there is no need for me to get on this thread and complain. But if the game releases with F'ed up rosters.....I'll be opening up that can of whip a$$.

So my comments are on ice until July 14th.

My guess is the guy doing the rosters must have had several builds of the rosters and used the wrong one. It appears the one he used was an early build with all of the people who have already graduated still in the game and the ratings being way off. It just seems like the should have some quality control system set in place where someone looks over the rosters when this guy is done and gives them an ok. I appreciate Adam and Russ coming on here and giving use updates on everything and talking to us. Russ I guess I just would like to know how you all go about doing quality control with rosters? To me, since the NCAA team is on these boards, yall should get a couple of the guys on these forums who do the rosters for NCAA to QC yalls final build of those rosters.

If blame is going to be placed on anyone, it's not the roster guy's fault. I'm sure there's a central place where all the files are stored and whoever's job it is to grab the current files to send to print is the one that messed up.

Seriously, do you think that the roster maker would spend all that time making sure the rosters are as accurate as can be and then send the wrong file?

Quality control..

thanks EA for working hard on this. I'm just not convinced this yr and i wount be buying NCAA

# 309 aimiami @ 06/11/09 03:14 PM

yeah dogs18 is right a lot of ppl wont even be able to use teambuilder (although most ppl will) anyway they have to get the roster for non-online player cause then why would they buy this game?

# 310 sportyguyfl31 @ 06/11/09 03:30 PM

So let me get this straight. This year, they brought on a guy to specificly work on the rosters and we have gotten a mashed up mess?

In fairness, we really can't judge the rosters guys work until we see it.

For my money...it's related to the Keller suit, and they're trying to figure out a way to deal with it by the time the game ships.

There still using most players likeness so that idea makes no sense!

Therefore you will have 10 times more teams getting walk-ons and not enough QUALITY players during recruiting. So pretty much this will ruin dynasty mode right from the get go.

Except for teams like Georgia, Texas, and Florida who have zero holes at any position.. wish the Hawks could have gotten that type of attention.

You're not going to buy it?

# 316 ReservoirDog76 @ 06/11/09 04:11 PM

I have to say this again just because you have to laugh things off sometimes...

They sent the WRONG roster file to be put on the disc! EA Sports (multi-billion dollar company) let the WRONG ROSTERS be put into the game! LOL It doesn't get any worse than that.

Can we get a countdown until when EA runs out it's licenses? They can do baseball and golf...that's pretty much it. Actually...The Show is approaching MVP status and unlike EA, I trust that SCEA will actually progress with it's series.

Ha, the most important aspect of the game.. the players

I'm not completely positive, nor can I find it, but didn't Russ or Adam say they were trying to find away to resolve the issue without clearing TB? Maybe they have a plan in the works. It's their job to fix the problem, but they're not required to give us up to the minute reports on OS.

# 319 sportyguyfl31 @ 06/11/09 04:52 PM

Teambuilder is "nice", but this is far more important.

Im baffled how it can happen, especially given how it was allegedly supposed to be such a "focus".

I doubt how much(if at all) this is going to get fixed..seeing how the game is released in about 4 weeks.

The game is probably just about done at this point.

# 320 Herky @ 06/11/09 05:03 PM

The more and more I think about this the less I think anything will be done to fix the roster problem. It just seems like too much has to be done and not enough time is there to do it. Somebody or someone really screwed up and I'm willing to bet jobs are going to be lost. It's 2009 and stuff like this just should not happen.

They should scrap Teambuilder but they probably can't since not everyone is tuned into this info about bad rosters. If they pull that feature, it's going to open a whole new can of worms when people pop the game and it's not there. Not everyone reads message boards and are informed on this.

Face it people. We are going to be stuck with bad rosters. The clock is ticking and if they fix it then major props to them, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
