Roger Kaputnik Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Can teams and players come from outside of the 50 states and DC? Are other US territories allowed? (Guam, Puerto Rico, etc.) How about Canada & Mexico? Other places? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Kaputnik Posted October 19, 2005 Author Share Posted October 19, 2005 I am looking to add a conference of Canadian schools plus one from the US territories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btmlltt Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Just rename the teams to the names of Canadian schools... That's what I did with TPF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Spamer Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Yeah but not actually having them in Canada will affect how recruiting is supposed to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btmlltt Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Locate them in the state directly below the province. Not perfect, but a workaround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chappy Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Here's an OT question - Are there any Canadian universities that actually field football teams, and if so, are their rules more like the NCAA's or the CFL's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btmlltt Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 hehe, there are [url=http://www.universitysport.ca/e/members/by_sport.cfm#Football]plenty that field football teams[/url], yes. I don't follow it, but I believe they are CFL-like in rules. They certainly don't follow NFL rules, for obvious reasons. It's nowhere near as big as NCAA football because there aren't as many schools, and we simply don't treat collegiate sports the way Americans do. The amount of "I'm here to play " students in Canada would be way lower than in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Kaputnik Posted October 20, 2005 Author Share Posted October 20, 2005 One of the X box games I used to play allowed for Canadian teams and players. The problem was that the game considered all of Canada adjacent to every bordering state. That gave Canadian schools a huge recruiting advantage. A school from say, Nova Scotia, could draw recruits from Michigan or Washington or New York because all of Canada was considered a neighboring state. And yes they do play college football in Canada. The first college game on record was between Harvard and McGill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btmlltt Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 My old school ([url=http://www.mta.ca]Mount Allison[/url]) was located in a town called Sackville. The defense had shirts that said, "They don't call it Sackville for nothing" with a picture of a defender towering over a fallen QB. :cool: brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Kaputnik Posted November 10, 2005 Author Share Posted November 10, 2005 I am bumping this because I never got an official answer and Arlie said in another thread that he would answer game related questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Kaputnik Posted November 10, 2005 Author Share Posted November 10, 2005 Arlie, why hasn’t this question been answered? It is a simple yes or no question—does the game allow for non-US players and teams or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chammer39 Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arlie Rahn Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 There are not non-US players as they make up an extremely small sample size in college football (as compared to say college hoops). As to locating teams in canada or mexico, that would not work either as each team needs to have a state and region for recruiting. We did not add in the ability to have "Canada" or "Mexico" as a state as there are no college football teams in the formats we checked in those areas right now.
