Update on NCAA Football 10 Rosters

EA has finally made a statement in regards to the rosters for NCAA Football 10 (as viewed through Teambuilder) that have been found to have serious issues. Those include teams with no or few freshman and players who have graduated that remain on the rosters.

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.

So it sounds like this caught the NCAA developers by surprise and wasn’t a messy roster by design. How it could get by to the final version of the game without being noticed though is frustrating.

I certainly understand not wanting to lose the tens of thousands of teams that have been created since Teambuilder launched. Those represent hours of work that people have put in. At the same time the rosters in their current state could damage the experience for many.

Hopefully they find a resolution that keeps the created teams in tact while fixing the issues with the base roster. On a positive note having Teambuilder brought this problem to light six weeks in advance of the game’s release rather than finding out about it on July 14th and having to wait over a month to see a patch correct it.

Jones

trying to get names on my players for NCAA 10 football. Anyone know how?? (besides manually putting them in)

GETDATAZZ

does anybody have a roster for 2010.tryna get PS3

BogusGee

I downloaded my rosters (for PS3) from EA Locker via eascncaa10 as described on freerosters and they don't work. I don't use Teambuilder yet, and may never. I have the roster file on my PS3, same as 09's, but it doesn't work. :'

BogusGee

YES! http://freencaa09rosters.com/ now has buckeye02 w/ the named rosters on EALOCKER for PS3. Just grabbed them and they work great! I can go dynasty now!

BogusGee

Perhaps I misunderstand what he eascncaa10 rosters are supposed to do. They may just rectify the missing players, continuing to use the numbers as names. I thought they would also provide the named rosters as well. I would like to know when someone has the named rosters up.

nick

is there any users with good rosters with names yet? are any out as of now?

alex

who can I download the roster from? i need it bad

peachtea

can you system link ncaa 10

Mark

so can we fix Iowa's facemasks thru teambuilder or are we stuck with EA's f*** up of Iowa's uni's for the SECOND YEAR IN A ROW?!?! That is pathetic. They can get Western freakin Kentucky's uniforms right but not a team from the Big Ten that beat S. Carolina in a bowl game last year and is a top 25 team this year?!?!?

So, what does this say about new NCAA Rating Guy? Sounds to me like he's terrible at his job.

matthew

Does anyone have any info on who has a good NCAA 09 football roster

that vatoe guy

yeah, they really dropped the ball on the rosters. i hope it can be fixed

RANCHO DE GATITO

I think that ea is really chickenshit using teambuilder as the excuse for the bullshit rosters they used.

Vaughn

So they are working on them?

triz

I'm more concerned about Iowa having white facemasks...WTF?

Douchberg

Yea, I can't understand why they have to keep screwing Iowa up. Plus the Iowa ratings in TeamBuilder are atrocious. Ballard and Clayborn or sub 70's overall... Angerer is 78? Unbelievable.

Coll. Fantasy Fball

Every time a game comes out on EA that isn't Madden, it frustrates me that they put so much effort into that game and let all their other top sports titles fall behind. I'm not an expert in video game programming, but why doesn't EA create one universally awesome format for dynasty modes, online play, and game architecture and apply it to EVERY game?

@Dre2778 - that historically black colleges football game does look pretty sweet. Did you see the Rock Band integration for the drumlines?

georgiafan

This really makes EA look like a joke

Justin Tuck.

Pasta your site is working on IE thanks for fixing it bro!

ascgrizz2010

Wiley, just because that's what you would do if you created a team, doesn't mean that's what 99% of America did.....I and a lot of others that I've talked with create either Balanced or Cupcake teams.....So don't go ahead and say that everyone made a powerhouse team unless you went and looked and can actually prove that 99% of the teams created are Powerhouses.

Wiley

That's where I differ Shomari. I would rather play with real teams and test my skills than play with my over rated suped up team. And I know that 99% of America made a Powerhouse team!! Just ain't right!!d

Dre2778

Well I may as well look into that Historically Back College football game now just to see what it's shaping into.

Amen Ra

Garbage

Dre2778

Hey stick to what you like and I want the game just for the Halftime Show and the battle of the bands. I know it can't compete with NCAA in terms of overall looks but hey who can you judge you're a nobody. If it had the backing of say EA or 2K would you be saying all dat crap then. DUMBASS

bbax78

I think I am a little confused here. So basically if I loaded my team template on teambuilder and edited the roster to include freshmen they are saying that it would damage other teams' rosters if I loaded it to the game? I have created a team and changed the year (Sophomore to Freshman) on several of my players. So the teams I created now have freshmen. If I load the game will it mess up other rosters on the game?

Shomari

I'm confused as to why we would lose our teams just because the rosters for the teams ALREADY in the game are wrong? I for one could care less about the actual teams now that I can create my own. I don't forsee myself playing with any of the real teams anyway.

Boiler Up!

Because the rest of us arent total nerds like you that like to make up fake teams

This just goes to show that NCAA 2010 is just a remake of NCAA 09. Last year it was the EA Locker bust, now its the TEAMBUILDER bust!! Why is the NCAA series tanking so hard over the last few years?? Pasta whats the deal man? What happened to the NCAA series that had Larry Fitzgerald (05). That bad boy was off da chain!! Im so disappointed this year. Screw Season Showdown, Screw Teambuilder. Just give me great gameplay, great offline dynasty, great online dynasty. Thats all I want.

Koach_Vonner

I understand where you come from Cody!! I'm not a TEAMBUILDER type of guy either.

Cody

This doesn't even make sense to me. How hard is it to take out the graduated seniors and input (mostly generic) freshman? I mean, other than the top 100 Freshman or so, it's just a guess as to what their rating should be because most people don't know about them. It can't be that hard to make those generic freshman.

Doesn't this also hurt SS? Part of SS minimal allure is that you get to play realistic rosters like the actual game.

I've bought every NCAA game since 03 but this may be the first time I decide not to buy NCAA. I'm not a team builder kind of guy and don't care about season showdown, like the rest of the world.

Doucheberg

I agree. I'd say 80%+ of NCAA gamers care about playing online and/or dynasty with accurate team rosters and player ratings. The TeamBuilder thing is kind of neat, but not if it sacrifices accurate team rosters and player ratings.

When are you going to post the BACKBREAKER blog Pasta?

floridagatorfan

This basically sums up how I feel about NCAA '10 and the NCAA team. Madden seams to be making great strides along with having great community support. The NCAA team has not been near as good and has also not listened as well to the community giving us things like SS rather than working on other areas more such as Dynasty.

EmJaySena

Excellent points. We can only hope the NCAA team cleans house and brings in a new team, from the top down. Someone like Ian Cummings, who's in his first year on the Madden team.

EAhater

Pasta, you don't think this mess has anything to do with the Keller lawsuit?

pastapadre

Nah probably not. But its quite a coincidence so its not out of the realm of possibility.

Scott

This whole mess just goes to show how far EA has fallen. Year after year there is some major flaw in their games. This is really unacceptable, but totally typical.
