NCAA and High School closer to reality

catcherjul · 11-23-2016, 09:00 AM

I'm not sure if its a license thing the reason why we don't have the real College/High School system in place, but if yes, It would be nice to have something ''fictional'' that is close to reality with best programs getting usually better player and etc... I know we can setup our feeders like we want (that's what I did) But we can't replicate what the real life leagues are

i do suspect it has a lot to do with the license thing. But it probably has a lot to do with programming. Not that it isn't possible, but the work need to create vs usage might be an issue. Also, the programmers have their priorities and a limited staff and time frame to get next years game out. So it may not be very high on their radar (or it might be, i have no inside knowledge).

The problem with this (aside from the license issue) is that NCAA and High School League in the real world behave much more like an association rather than league-like setup. However, the association feature seems to be in limbo as far as development goes: people are not that interested in it until it gets better, but it doesn't get better because not that many people are interested in right now. I sincerely hope OOTP development will one day enhance the association feature, then it'll be much easier to build a realistic NCAA/HS system

YES!!!! I think it would be GREAT self made UNIVERSE for NCAA and HS so it i possible with the developers putting this game together so in OOTP 18 it would be a good add-on to the great game it self and I think it is a great thought.
