College Football 2012 Season

[gdu]

Well teambuilder 13 was taken down earlier because the rosters were not updated. No surprise...they screwed something up. But, from one we saw during that window of opportunity earlier there aren't many notable updates other than teams from last year that had new uniforms are updated (except for GA Tech and apparently TCU).

TCU's 2011 uniforms were not in there. The only new ones were the 2011 Rose Bowl uniforms from the 2010 season.

One thing that I did notice is that UMass, UTSA and Texas State are in while South Alabama is not.

Yep. EA accidently neglected the fact South Alabama has joined the Sun Belt. So, in response, they have outlined a huge project that will include recording fan noise at a South Alabama football game to use in next year's game...and the funniest part...

Paying "extra attention" to the rosters and detail for the team in the next version. So, basically EA said they don't pay enough attention to smaller school rosters (as if we didnt know that already).

Honestly, they need more staff doing research. For Christ's sake...everyone on this board should be a consultant to the graphic designers. Maybe one day there will be enough equipment and uniform accuracies to my liking.

Still...always love the game for gameplay and features. Just always get annoyed with how EA seems to deliberately have major funks in each game to sucker us into buying it the next year. We do it because we want the most updated version...no matter how much we complain about it in July.

They need to stop worrying about the fluff like crowd noise and fix the gameplay.

This is the same engine they've been using for years. It is broken. It does not work. It does not accurately portray a game of football. Backbreaker showed that a physics-based football game is possible. EA needs to adopt a similar engine because without it, the game is terrible. It's just not a realistic depiction of how the game works.

Of course, with the exclusive license, there's no incentive for EA to improve the game so it's likely we'll never see significant improvement in the gameplay unless everyone stops buying the game entirely, which just won't happen.

[Kevin W.]

Wow. UCLA's all-whites are in the game. That's shocking.

[bowld]

But they are different. The whites they wore against SC had stripes

[Kevin W.]

No, they didn't.

The ones in TeamBuilder have the wrong number font, though.

EDIT: Actually, you're right. The pants in TeamBuilder don't have the stripes.

This was a helmet I found on there for Idaho. Im pretty sure they never wore this but im not 100%. Anyone know if Idaho ever wore this?

Notre Dame's shiny gold helmet looks TERRIBLE

EDIT: EA IS TERRIBLE; WHO DOES THE RESEARCH FOR THIS STUFF THERE IS NO WAY THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM WATCHES COLLEGE FOOTBALL

That's because the 2012 season hasn't started. Those are the helmets for this year if I remember correctly.

Yeah, I'm running out of fingers to count the mistakes I've found.

Those must be the only new thing on teambuilder thats never been worn before.

Those remind me of Vandy for some reason

Speaking of things that haven't been worn before, did Washington State wear all of their jerseys/pants at one point or another last year? Their gray/gray helmet isn't in the game.

[walkerws]

I think Idaho may have worn that helmet late in the season right after the new marks were released.

That is correct.

Probably missed this being discussed but I hadn't seen it here

If they have I apologize and make up with this interesting article

I'm glad the Maryland Pride jerseys and pants are on there but, the pride helmet and the matte black helmet isn't there.

Yes they are.

[shstpt1]

kinda disappointed with what they did with VT. Im glad they put the orange pants and jerseys in, and im glad they have like 7 helmets... but the orange helmets have the wrong striping. should be white/maroon/white stripes to match the orange pants/jerseys. also... the maroon helmet and maroon striped helmet are two different shades of maroon.
