MJWalker45 6,004 Posted February 2 Seeing what's been done with Madden PC by the Frostbite community, as well as the likelihood some states seem to be pushing Congress to deal with NIL now, I hope we can see this in 2022. California's NIL plan was supposed to start in 2023. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
guest23 1,609 Posted February 2 This is going to be a hot mess if they allow roster customization. I am 100% on board for players getting compensated but devising a royalty program without properly classifying your group of participants as true employees with collective bargaining power won't yield much positive. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They'll probably leave the backdoor open like they did with NCAA14. If you know who's roster to download, you can search and download on the machine. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VDizzle12 1,551 Posted February 2 Hopefully they are able to pull stadium data from NCAA14 and upgrade it for the next gen consoles. I can't even imagine how much work it would take to make all 100+ stadiums from scratch in time for the release. Wouldn't be surprised if they just created the main Power 5 schools and just gave everyone else generic stuff. EA has a habit of half-assing games. Their reputation isn't where it used to be and Madden has become pretty stale. I'd assume since Madden has roster sharing, they would use the same system here. With so many teams it probably makes sense to share individual teams and not the entire FBS. I doubt anyone has that much time on their hands. So many people have waited a really long time for this game, they better do it right. Some NBA2k level customization too wouldn't hurt. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Full custom rosters for NCAA Football 14 still happen because it's crowdsourced among groups of people who work on individual teams or entire conferences. With how many fanatic college football fans there are, there's likely going to be several complete FBS rosters done solely by one individual. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are modders that have done this with the College Football Revamped mods that you have to apply to the PS3 and XBox 360. That should help EA speed things up if the works already done. 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But we'll probably see the same options as before. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TenaciousG 906 Posted February 3 We need to band together to create the narrative that a fully customizable uniform creator is good for recruiting. That would open the floodgates 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krz 2,037 Posted February 3 Honestly if the just did a NCAA 14 remastered like tony hawk, except with better graphics and new uniforms, most people would be happy. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
