4. Custom rosters gave users authenticity

One of the big rules of the EA Sports NCAA Football franchise was using jersey numbers only when naming players. Even though the franchise was able to use actual colleges, use of player likenesses only came close to players’ heights, weights and ratings.

However, there was a work around. Included in the online features was the ability to include share and upload customized rosters. The beauty in this annual feature was the depth of the roster customization.

Players could edit, create and save rosters every season as recent as NCAA Football 2010, when TeamBuilder mode was born. The mode allowed players to create their own university, going as deep as custom stadiums, uniforms and mascots.

When combined with NCAA Football’s franchise mode, customized rosters became a much-needed staple for any avid sports gamer looking for the extra authenticity.

Players even had the ability to create rosters through an online portal which would then be available for save online. With such a deep feature, fans really could use the EA Sports NCAA Football franchise again.
