The FCS

[TarHeelPhenom]

What are the odds that a full fleshed out FCS would make it's way into the game at some point? All FCS teams in their proper conferences with their playoff format?

If not fully fleshed out, then just the teams?

I imagine it's on the agenda.

I doubt we see it next year, but I bet that it's something they're eventually gonna get in.

That's another 129 teams. That's nearly doubling the stadiums, players, and uniforms that need to be designed and added to the game. On top of how many resources they'd have to devote to creating all that (which realistically means fewer resources going elsewhere), it'd also probably result in a large increase in the file size (it's not a major issue, but I personally really like how compact this game is, storage-wise).

The amount of effort you identified is the reason I don't expect it to happen soon. I would expect to get selected conferences initially. Big Sky, Big South-OVC, CAA, and MVC. Those conferences have quite a few of the teams I expect will move up to FBS.

The ones on the PS2 days never had all of the teams/conferences and had them play in a generic stadium.


I'd rather have that than nothing at all

I would be surprised if it happened anytime soon, just because it's somewhat niche and wouldn't affect most people's decisions for whether to buy the game. And they went the entire PS3/360 generation without doing it.

If they did it, it would probably just be to host them as buy games in Dynasty - no ability to use them in Dynasty, no FCS playoffs, no real stadiums, possibly no real players. Just my best guess, obviously.

Agreed. I'd much prefer to play Montana State than FCS Northwest.

I could see them adding 12 or so FCS teams to add to the current generic FCS.

But long term, this should not be a priority. And I don't think it will be.
