Re: Panther impatience

The 08 (or maybe it was 07) version had FCS teams, including UNI. The Dome was on there, along with "actual" players.

They had it up until 07 (which came out in 06)...I don't think the 08 PS2 version still had them.

I hear the Wii version this year is advertising "200 teams." I think that includes FCS (though they might be counting all those "mascot teams.")

Mascot teams... talk about a waste of space.

Re: Panther impatience

they aren't going to shoot someone just for eating, drinking, and socializing.

and if your idea of fun consists of something that might get you shot,
then it's probably something that shouldn't be done anyway. So the arming of the campus police has benefitted the community already!

Sometimes I wonder if you're for real.

Sometimes I wonder if people understand the concept of sarcasm and or humor.

Re: Panther impatience

I just read somewhere that FCS teams may be in the Wii version.

Now that is Wii-tarded...

PS2 still had a number of FCS schools in the 08 game. Not all, Drake and other non-schollys were absent, along with the xDSU's. The rosters were still back to the 2005 season rosters though.

Will have to see how the Wii version plays, it might make me more interested in acquiring a Wii if they add FCS teams.

Non-schollys and newer schools have never been in.

NDSU and SDSU were only "provisional" members of the FCS last year anyway. They didn't become full-fledged members until this year.

I was simply responding to News about whether FCS teams were in PS2. I just got the game and they still are. Pioneer League schools still not in, no xDSU's either, but from what I can tell all of the other bigger FCS conference schools are in with the exception of UCA from the Southland(Another provisional that went D-I with the xDSU's) and no Great West schools. BTW, "non-scholly" Ivy League schools are in the game.

As for rosters they have improved the ratings to be much more reasonable. It used to be that the best you might have for an FCS school was one or two players in the 70's and everyone else in the 50's. Top rated Panther is Corey Lewis at 84 with Johnny Gray an 80. Most starters are in the 70's except K/P, whereas most FBS schools have starters in the mid to low 80's. The bigger difference is depth, the FBS schools have more players and their reserves are rated higher. Lot of 50-ish reserves for UNI. That element I think is much more realistic.

Of course the rosters aren't perfect, they seem to be a hybrid of last year and this year. Sanders is still there, as is T Allen, Keith on the line (but no Rhinehart) and Carter, Evans, Waters on defense. They also have Parsons as well. No De'Veon Harris. They are all seniors as well as C.Lewis, Gray, Howard (as a TE), etc.
