Knowing EA, you probably just have to pay for each player you add lol
EA Sports NCAA College FB coming back Summer '24
- Thread starter BigJCy
- Start date
Get the Quin Ewers pack for only $9.99 and it comes with 3 alternate sock designs!
Pretty simple to take the edit screen off of players. Or just not have updated rosters available by anyone other than EA. If that’s what it takes to get this game back out, do it. I’m sure the vast majority of players will take the $600 and free game.
$600 is more than what probably >90% of college football players make on current NIL deals.
I also kept my PS3 around to play NCAA 14. Finally sold it last year since I knew the new game was coming out. Sold the game for way more than I originally paid for it
It sounds like the game is treating it like it's their problem, and are taking steps to prevent it.
"One thing that will not be customizable: If a player chooses to not be included in the game, he will not be able to be created in the game by users -- although Holt wouldn't say how they would prevent that, only that it will not be allowed."

Unless I misunderstood the problem the first time, the problem wasn't custom player creation. It was that they modeled the default players off of exact copies of the real ones, just without the full names. On top of the suing party just trying to make a quick buck on something silly -- as now evidenced by the fact that, apparently, all they had to do to make a game was cut checks for a piddly $600 to players. Whoopty-doo. One would think it would be substantially more expensive based on how big of a deal it was to get here.
If that's not the case and the problem was indeed custom, user-made rosters, then I don't see an effective way to avoid that issue apart from not having a player creator at all. They could do that, but tons of people will be pissed about it. Who hasn't made themselves into a player at some point? Nope, here's your randomly-generated Road to Glory character, enjoy.
This game was soo good for it's time. One of the things I remember is that you didn't lose control of the player when the play was over, and they would call you for a penalty if you tackled people too late.
LOL...i actually thought about that as i was just talking with some people yesterday how some games like Fortnight release for free, but make their money on the customization. Maybe not a bad idea!
Maybe it’s generational, but I’d rather pay for a full game than get the basic skeleton and then have to buy it into the full game. I’m sure it’s designed so you end up paying more.
Looking forward to this. Have a group of buddies in different states and we created our own dynasty league with our own created schools/programs and play online. Lots of fun and great way to stay connected. Per usual, my school/nickname/colors/unis/stadium/field will be superior.
That game was awesome for its day. Then again, other than playing a bit of NBA and Madden on my kids XBox a couple times that was the last time I played on a gaming system.
But yes that 2K2 Sega CFB game was pretty good back in the day. I don't really remember any horrible flaws in game play, other than Lane Danielson having a middle bar on his facemask like a DL from 1990, which was just ridiculous.
They should make any opt out players look ridiculous in some generic way like a clown emoji face, name them #primadona and give them a 50 rating.

Good news. Got to be some egg on the face for the folks at that "College Football Players Association" outfit. They've been trying to get boycott of the game going since last summer, and have not found much traction. I think they're kind of shady, personally. They don't actually represent any players, or have any clout at all. Feels like they are being opportunistic, picked a name that sounds like it has some authority, and are attempting to insert themselves into the conversation trying to achieve some relevance.
