Is Create-A-Team improved for '07?

[jcrusick]

Did EA improve the create-a-team feature for this year or does it still suck like '06?

I believe in the interviews it was blatantly stated that CAT was not altered in any way.

However, I'm sure someone who actually has the game will be able to confirm or deny that.

It's a shame that EA can not integrate the same detail that NCAA football has for it's create a team feature.

It is the same unfortunately. Makes no sense to me that they couldnt have updated it. Not being able to select a uniform style and then just change the colors like in NCAA football can't be that hard. They have been doing it since ncaa football 99. That was 8 years ago. You basically have to get lucky with a logo color to not make it look weird with one uniform color and then another color scheme acording to your logo. I am very curious to hear why some things like this were not updated. If I here viable reasons I can give the benefit of the doubt. It does play well though and is fun, but those little things that make a good game great are missing.

I would have rather them create a setup similar to NCAA Football's create a school than to add two new conferences. There is not much customization in the current setup.

But, what Dr. Jones has said about the rosters also holds true here. Without the adequate budget and manpower to make a complete overhaul of CAT, there really isn't anything the dev team can do about it. When you only have x number of people working on the title, you become quite limited in what can and can't be enhanced. I would much rather have them revamp something like the pitching interface than waste the time and effort on something like Create-A-Team instead. Yeah, it sucks that there was no improvements to a very horrible CAT feature last year, but it is the best that could be put forth given the resources available.

Same here. Hopefully a better create a school is now high on their list of things to add.

Hopefully producers, programmers, animators, and artists are high on their list of things to add.

Seeing this game reach it's full potential, with all the schools, a plethora of stadiums, summer leagues, and customization up the yahoo... Would be awesome.

Agreed!!! If they take the game to next gen It will sell simply because it is an EA baseball game on next gen.
