As always, vote for the item you prefer. However, also state how you would like both features implemented into the game and indicate any specific elements you would (or would not) like to see added for each item.


Custom Conferences 2.0

One of the more-detailed and well-received features of NCAA Football 12 was the revamped Custom Conferences feature. As is the way with all video game features, there are more improvements and additions the community would like to see to further improve the feature.

Among the community requests:

Ability to go above 120 teams: The feature currently allows for reorganization, but not for the addition of programs. In real life, UMass, South Alabama, Texas State and UTSA will be joining the FBS ranks but they cannot currently be added without removing an existing program. Being able to add five to ten programs would allow for the “what if” scenarios featuring the aforementioned programs and others, such as Villanova, Georgetown and other TeamBuilder-created squads.
Dynamic Field Art: When selecting a (new) Conference Championship Game location, the existing field art is brought over. For example, moving or creating a CCG at the Holiday Bowl (Qualcomm Stadium) brings over the Holiday Bowl field art. This would see a conference specific field art for the game.
Dynamic Conference Uniform Logos: Currently, moving a team will change the conference logo on the field art, but not on team helmets and uniforms. This would either add in the new conference logo or remove the existing (and now out of date) logo.
Ability to rename, remove, edit entire conferences: While likely an aspect existing conference partners would not support, community members have frequently asked for the ability to rename, remove, or edit (IE: logo) conferences.
Dynamic Conference Prestige Recruit Pitch Rating in Dynasty Mode
Ability to edit conference tie-ins for all bowl games

In-Game Saves

Many in the NCAA Football community like to use longer quarter length to help replicate realistic game statistics, however that often makes playing time a commodity in order to play in one sitting. In-game saves would allow them to resume the match-up at a later date. Technically this may not be easy to implement due to the size of the save file that would be created, housing game info, highlights, stats, etc.

I'm voting for in game saves, but custom conferences will blow this out.

Easy for me since I really don't need an in-game save.

Thank God. It only took Halloween to finally kill off the demon slithering from the fiery depths of Satan's anus that was Simplified Create-a-Play.

As for this match-up, I'm rolling with my top dog that I've been going with all tournament, Custom Conferences 2.0.

Custom Conferences 2.0, though we should not even be discussing In Game Saves as a feature. Long overdue. Of course it could be worse as Madden has yet to master the art of autosaving. :fp:

Custom Confrences... Though I was hoping at least 1 of the create a plays would win out, I knew I was in the minority on that one. Though I should add that rather than adding a ton of new features this year, my hope is that those hours are spent fine-tuning all of the existing features. Custom Conferences, dynasty recruits & progression, custom playbooks, RTG progression, etc are all examples of things that I think the feature teams at EA need to be focused on rather than adding more back of the box features that don't quite work as intended.

considering they screwed up custom conferences this year i'm not going down that road again

hopefully they can fix what they tried to do this year for '13

my guess is that is will just remain busted until the "next-next gen"

I like both of these but CC takes priority with me as I seldome run into the in game save issue myself.

As of right now I will have to create at least 11 dummy accounts in order to stack the box for my in game saves to win. Hmmm....

Rudy I will help you out and make 10 accounts too... all it will cost you is using your 11 votes to vote for FCS and matchup stick 2.0 for all the dynasty votes... lol

I would love to help but those stipulations i can not agree to. Not a fan of either one of those.

All I know is, if they don't make the game be PERFECT with the current shape of college football (be it 5 member conferences or 22 member conferences), then they can definitely shove the game up their asses.

If every conference is a stable entity by spring next year, and you can accurately predict what the future conference schedule is going to be ... that's a lot easier. I suspect that won't be the case, so hitting it on target is going to be difficult.

If Custom Conference 2.0 only included adding teams W/O subtracting teams, then I would be one happy camper!!! Just give me the option of inserting anywhere from 10-12 (16 would be nice.....but I know that as soon as they put it in....IF they put it in......there will be some stupid limit, like 5!!!!) teams! HELL, why not let us build a conference and add it to the mix? I could care less about bowl tie-ins and such. Let me add TB teams (which in my case are usually FCS squads) to the FBS w/o taking anyone else out......and for God's sake, get rid of the FCS directional schools, please?!?!?!?!
