If not mistaken the reason that took out probation and violations and the reason they can't put in rushing the field after big wins is b/c the NCAA didn't like it... this may open the door for things like that to be included.

We better enjoy the game while we can because even if its made next year it won't be the same again. There may never be a college sports game again because of this.

Forgive me, I haven't read this thread as I just picked up the game today. Can a PS3 user point me to the best roster for download?

There will always be a college football game and this may be better for the series because the NCAA is a joke.

I'm confused. What does this mean? If NCAA won't license the game, how can EA continue to market and sell new college football games? Are they just going to have fictional teams?

They just can't use 'NCAA'

Which means it will suck. At least this last copy is probably the best they've ever made...go out with a bang.

If anyone is looking for PS3 rosters still, I downloaded a set with all names/coaches. I went through and fixed ND (added the freshmen WRs, fixed the o-line, made basic equipment changes for accuracy on most skill players, etc.) You can download them and check them out if you like, gamertag is theIrishLion10.

pudgee691 is pretty good.

I'll 2nd that this is a good one for PS3. This is the accepted PS3 roster from Operation Sports, the one that a team worked on for over a week. I'm not using it in my own dynasty (Using an earlier release that I've since altered), but from what I've seen this one has a lot of work put in.

That would be cool. I've wanted probation and violations back in for awhile and would love to see them tear down the goal posts.

For now I have to find sneaky ways of implementing my own form of probation :evil:

Soooo, this is actually a huge positive? Yes please.

basically the game will be the same just minus any "NCAA" branded stuff so they can cover their own arses from the likes of the O'Bannon case.
There is a seperate trademarking company called "The College Sports Branding" or some crap that EA will use to include all the Universities logos, uniforms, stadiums etc etc.

Is there a PS3 dynasty? I'm thinking about trading a game or two in and picking NCAA up this afternoon.

Finished my second season last night. I didn't whiff on as many recruits during the season this time, signed 8-9 before the post season, which is 5-6 more than my first season as Texas State. I didn't get crap in the one week long recruiting offseason this time though, only picking up 2 of my remaining 10 targets (Most of which I was leading with or I was within 500 points of and I dumped at least 1500 in to try and seal the deal). I was actually 67/70 on scholarship when the new season began, which has never happened to me before (That was after picking up a couple walk ons too). That said, my recruiting class this year was already better than last year's and the team is improving overall even if depth isn't very good.

I'm hoping to step in as the head coach soon as I'm still the OC. The CPU head coach has 14 points in the ability tree and not enough in recruiting which is hurting us. I tried resetting that ability tree in the off season and left the points in recruiting to see what he would do, but so far it just shows 14 unused points for him, he hasn't assigned them yet. I'm hoping once I play the first game or when he levels up next time he'll reassign them.

Exactly...I didn't want to buy this, but I may have too now. I just can't see it being the same without NCAA (yes, I know they can go to each team...but still)

The NCAA doesn't let EA use anything but the NCAA name. All of the conferences negotiate through a different entity altogether. Almost nothing will change other than the NCAA will be protected in their lawsuit defense.

What about the BCS? Does it effect that? It's gonna be pretty damn cheesy if they rename it or have to change the bowl logos.... Just wondering...

Is anyone else having trouble changing the sleeves of the players? I downloaded this roster and then noticed Hendrix had sleeves and tried to change that and nothing happens, it just stays the same. Also didn't work for anyone else after tried it more

Picked up the game after work today. Got right into an online game and ended up winning 52-28. My second play from scrimmage was a 74 yard TD run by GAIII. I still use Golson so I can run the read option lol.

It just appears to be an issue in the actual edit screen... I set Hendrix to have no sleeves, but they still showed up on the edit screen even when it said "no sleeves." When I got into an actual dynasty game and subbed Hendrix in to run a read option, the sleeves weren't there. Whatever you set the sleeves to in the editor will be correct on the field, but not the edit screen itself.

No, it impacts none of that... At all... The only thing it takes out are the letters NCAA and their logo...

If anything this opens the door for probation and rushing the field to be put back in... Otherwise nothing changes.

I would love to see that again. I remember the games around 05' and before had a system where you had a set amount of points to divide amongst discipline, recruiting and player training. I would slack on the "discipline" points in favor of "training," but I was pretty young so I rarely got past a full season; I never got far enough to see any probation problems.
