Can we change conference prestige?

Correct each year I have to go in and setup the round of 4. The computer will still schedule #1 vs #2 in the BCS Championship directly after Conference Championship week is over. Well #1 and #3 might win so I would have to change that one also once the first round of the playoffs have been scheduled.

[quote]That is a bit confusing to me. So every bowl season (or right before) you'll have to edit it? Do you guess what those teams will be based on the final BCS standings going into the Conference Champ Week?[/qoute]

You can edit which conference goes to which bowl before the bowl season (SEC #2 - Capital One Bowl, SEC #3 Outback, SEC #4 Cotton, you could change SEC #2 to the Liberty Bowl if you wanted). This carries over from year to year, until you decide you might want something else. Once you get into the Bowl season you can manually change who is in each game (ie put Georgia in the Chick-fil-a Bowl instead of Music City if you wanted).

Being able to change bowl games and schedules will be important if the effort is made to mod the game for the 2014 season and beyond. Being able to change the conference a team in would be nice too, but if not possible it should be doable to major it work with some work arounds and personal bookkeeping.

I think it could be done after the first season before advancing to the offseason but I think using the in game editor would probably be easier.

That side is hard coded on the disc and we do not have access to that.

No, it is calculated based on team rankings, there is not an individual field to edit it.

Video added to the playoff post to show how it is done.

Thanks man. I'll have to tinker with that.

Also...will this work in an online dynasty without screwing everything up?

[jbsdnut]

When changing teams in the bowls, are we changing the tie-ins? Or just the specific teams in that bowl?

For example if I was to make the Belk Bowl be SEC vs. ACC, do I just change the tie-in? Or would I have to edit an SEC team into that game each year?

I have yet to pick up NCAA 14 because I was upset with no playoff option, did EA finally change it so conference prestige isn't a set value and it changes based on the teams?!

It's been like that since at least '13.
