Hello, I have been playing EA NCAA College Football game from the very beginning since 1999. I always played with a group of friends and we looked forward every year to putting in the college football players after doing research on new recruits, etc. We then waited 10 years with no game due to NIL stipulations. We are so very disappointed that we cannot edit player ratings and add players. Tennessee just recruited two five star players. If you do not allow diehard college football gamers next year to edit the ratings, I know I won't and many others won't ever buy the game again. You can edit Madden ratings. Your game was not worth waiting 10 years for. You can edit and add players in MLB and NBA rosters. To win back the fans quickly you show allow the editing of player ratings and adding players immediately. You will lose a ton of die hard fans. At this point, honestly, I will not buy the game next year - very disappointing. What diehard fans do is just creat a roster of top NCAA players on Madden and play that way. I refuse to spend $60-$100 dollars without being allowed to add or edit player ratings. It is not worth it! My email is [edit: email address removed]. Respectfully,Chuck Leatherwood

@ThrashonU Definitely won't be buying anymore EA games for the next 3 years if they don't allow changes to jersey #s soon. I'm not waiting til October or November for something so simple and harmless

True die hard fans will remember how it was before where you could change everything including ratings and add players. They're going to be so pissed off by the time after the football season. They're not going to buy it months ahead of when it's supposed to come out. They will make their decisions over the next 4 months. I won't get it if they don't change it.

@ILove_Laederal No the issue was EA was very obviously making the players themselves and using it to sell the game without compensating the players. It had nothing to do with people editing the rosters after the fact. I have no idea where people have convinced themselves it was players editing their own rosters

I have to admit that I find the editing numbers/ratings issue being the most complained about thing to be quite confusing to me. If EA made it so we could do that, it still wouldnt be a good game. The on field experience sucks that much. No audibles saving, tap and tap kicking, formation subs, cant hot route out of play action, the scoreboard still disappears during super sim sometimes...yet I constantly see editing ratings as the number one complaint. Am I just missing something here?

I didn't buy the game, instead my friend did. No real editing, issues with missing stuff from classic games, lack of the vibe of college football, but the biggest part is the broken gameplay that really turned us both off. Offense is good, better then Madden over years, yet the defense is worse. In several games the defense either worked based on the animations of the game or just no logic in responds to a play. Noticed at times faster players were getting beat by slower players. Like some, having a rb with 97 speed chased down by a Dt with 55 speed. but the key for both of us the swift from the modes...lack of real classic RoG and Dy instead put into UT which was one of the key issues with Madden; its stuff like this caused Franchise to be abandon by EA. So I wasn't disappointed, just not surprised by the hype that fell flat.

Are you dense? 2k doesn’t make a college basketball game allowing people playing to edit the college players, you can make them in 2k or madden without issues because there is nothing they can do about it.

@ILove_Laederal They used to and you could and it only doesn't exist because it didn't sell very well. But your logic still fails since Madden should be sued for creating college kids and this has never once happened between the 11 years an NCAA game didn't exist. What difference is the likeness in an NCAA based game vs an NFL one? The answer of course is they can't hold EA liable for the user making changes and still can't now

@ILove_Laederal The reason EA stated they did not release NCAA Football 15 or any subsequent titles was because the NCAA would not allow EA to pay the players. That's why when NIL legislation was passed in California everyone knew all other states would follow suit forcing the NCAA's hand. EA announced in February of 2021 that they would make a new college football game after all states had written laws that allowed college athletes to be compensated for their name, image, & likeness.

All people have to do is read. The lawsuit had nothing to do with players jersey number being changed nor their virtual abilities being adjusted by users nor. The lawsuit and settlement was caused by EA knowingly using the players likenesses without their agreement and/or permission for purposes to generate revenue.

Reading still is fundamental.
