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.

Oh yeah well they should get that "I" out of there

ya its nice team builder was added but at what expense? EVERY YEAR it comes out "WOW these rosters are horrible" then this year we get a new roster guy who releases even worse rosters the the guy before him

i really dont get why EA doesnt ask for help with them from the community every D1 school has a die hard fan on these forums how hard is it to make a sticky where people can post what their teams roster will most likely look like with freshman 2 weeks after the national signing day i mean 1 guy is not going to know every school like the back of his hand but a forum of people will

and i will say it again the rosters make the experience fun and not having to wait 2 months for someone else to fix the rosters because it wasnt done right the first time

I have a hunch that this should limit the amount of silly mistakes that have been made year after year.

Really? A Whiteboard? A Multi-Million Dollar Company couldn't afford a tracking device better than a whiteboard. We all know that a white board and markers are a breeding ground for the creation of falic symbols and such

To all the people that say, teambuilder but at what expense? Teambuilder didn't cause the problem, if anything it helped catch a major problem a month before the game is on the shelves. Let's just hope it leads to a solution.

The only issue teambuilder brings to the table is whether or not the dev team wants to dump the created teams.

Why not a white board? What they are doing now isn't working.

I answered that with the rest of my post

Obviously the high end devices they are using for quality control don't work. So what I am saying is maybe they should stop adding all of these stupid gimmicks like season show down, and focus on realism and getting the details right.

Obviously you don't get it either way. It was a sarcastic remark in the first place to show how easy something could be.

Obviously I don't get it. I never said they were using hi-tech devices, just that they could afford them. I agree with the intent of your post, it should be easy to track. For what we all know, maybe it is, but I'm guessing tracking is only step 1. What happens after that up in the air. I know people can give a 12 step program on what "should" be done, but lets be real with ourselves, unless we actually work in the game industry, we don't know how to do it.

I for one have no idea how to make a video game. I just know I enjoy playing them. If I knew how to fix this problem, I would help out, but since I don't, I leave my suggestions out.

Even with every single "problem" listed on this site, I will buy the game day 1. I'm a college football fan and have enjoyed every game I've bought pertaining to it. Rosters not being "perfect" is a non-issue for me. I'll just take the challenge and roll with it.

If the rosters were good or even average it would be one thing, but these are very close to generic some teams having 20 or so mess ups- with 0 freshman , that is well below par.

Agree 100%

1. 1 wrong thing = not perfect
2. I'm not your mate
3. I guess I could pick from one of the several other schools that have enough players to start a dynasty

Sell me on not getting this game all you want. Unless it's going to cause my 360 to explode, I'm getting it.

If it causes my 360 to explode, I'll pry get it just to do it and record it.

We need the original roster file that was supposed to lauch with the game, anything short of this considering the lacklusterness of this years added features and this game will never grace the iniside of my console.

Again I agree with everything.... I could really do without team builder and season showdown. All I really wanted was a game that included decent rosters, right color of uniforms, and maybe medical redshirts.

I GUARANTEE that if you give me TWO WEEKS, I would have the most accurate roster set possible on the entire game, and if you paid me to sit in the EA studios for 8 hours a day after that, it would stay the most accurate as I would sit there going through every team message board finding out who has left/is coming, etc. So I just want to find out...what are the roster people at EA actually paid to do? They made it sound like, for years now, that they have a guy (or group?) of people who are paid only to work on rosters/ratings. I'm assuming that is their only task. I realize that a "Screw-up" may have happened and that there very well may be a great set of rosters hidden somewhere on the hard drive of an EA-owned computer, but I just highly doubt it, and it makes me question what exactly EA is trying to relay to the community when they BRAG about things like "We've got a new hotshot roster guy for next year" and then anything like this happens. Where is the QC? I'm just tired of giving EA free passes, I guess is the moral of the story. They have the money. They have the resources. They have the time. They just choose on their own to not make the most of it and I think that that is painfully clear now. I'm not going to take the easy out and say thanks to EA for trying to find a resolution, because a.) it shouldn't have been an issue in the first place, and b.) they're not looking for a resolution. The EA Devs won't be found until after the game drops, they'll make some piddly post about "releasing an update soon," and then we won't see them until next March when they start pimping up something else that won't work.

You can & I can, but EA can't. Team builder and season showdown are two heavily promoted features in the game.

Simple math buddy

If 1 wrong thing = not perfect, anything more than that will also = not perfect.

Yes I totally agree. It seems like they sacrificed other important aspects of the game in order to get this up and running

Last year we had WIDE OPEN GAMEPLAY,

this year we apparently have WIDE OPEN ROSTERS?

I couldnt care less about rosters, i'm used to playing with cpu generated rosters anyway.

One thing i do agree with on the negative side.. You take the licensing rights, Give us a disfunctional 2009 game which patches never really fixed, Now we get inaccurate rosters (inexcusable) and gameplay yet to be determined? It's hard to see where this is worth $65.00 (tax incl)

A price break seems in order.. but that aint happinin!!

Just add me to the list of guys waiting to take their money elsewhere as soon as another college game comes out.

# 358 blackscorpion11 @ 06/11/09 10:24 PM

Teambuilder stays.....

These rosters will be COMPLETELY DIFFERENT after one off season of graduations, recruiting, leaving for pros,

teambuilder is FOREVER!!!!!!!!!

# 359 wahoogamer @ 06/11/09 11:36 PM

but so can they fix it in time?
Or is this really going to be my online games.

I would just go ahead and expect this not to be fixed.

It is my opinion but I believe the whole idea of this being the wrong version of the roster was just a smokescreen. With that being said, I dont see them being able to fix the absolute abomination that are the rosters this year. It's disgraceful.

I hope. I really hope I am wrong.
