Possible Bugs/Errors/Typos

[servo75]

Some things I noticed early on. This is from pre-release so if it's changed in the full build (which I haven't gotten the key for yet) it may not apply.

* The left-right arrows in the player profile view don't always take you to the right place, i.e. the right arrow no longer takes you to the next player. This tends to happen after making any type of change, be it redshirting or editing a player's number. I also have noticed this in recruiting since 2023. The next player taken to by right or left arrow isn't the next/previous in the list you clicked from.
* I got some strange recruiting feedback: "Your effort was appreciated in recruiting him. He could have been more impressed." That looks awkward, could be a typo? Doesn't seem to make sense. Maybe "couldn't have been more impressed?" I'm also noticing some minor spelling and grammatical errors in the messages.
* I've noticed that changing talking points in recruiting will rearrange the order of top schools. What's up with that?
* For some 2-division conferences, the standings don't show the divisions, just the entire conference. Noticed in standings, Pac-12. Shows North division then all 12 teams. A few others like ACC as well.
* There are issues with the schedule too. I've noticed since 2023 and before the schedule is too long (15 weeks not even counting conference championship) resulting in many teams finishing with 2-3 bye weeks. Also I know this may seem nitpicky and I know schedule generation isn't easy, but there are a few things I can't ignore. The schedule does not finish with rival conference game. Also conference schedules are wrong: I play as Washington State. We should have 9 conference games including the 5 others in division. If the algorithm can only handle 8 that's one thing. However we don't even play everyone in the same division. Our schedule in the first year doesn't include Univ Washington which is normally the season ending "Apple Cup". NCAA teams generally finish the year with a rival conference game.

Pac-12 is not a two division conference, believe they changed to a single division conference back before the 2022 season. As for ACC, they switched to single division starting this year. At least using my Realworld mod, the conferences that don't have any divisions are Atlantic, American Athletic, Big 12, Conference USA, FBS Independents, Mountain West, and Pac 12. These are correct according to multiple sites including the NCAA itself. Even if a conference doesn't have any divisions, the game still requires you to place them all in one division and give it a name. By default the single division name for Pac-12 is North division, which the game gives it. I'll probably change that in my Realworld mod

That is unfortunate. I hate what the NCAA does with this constant shifting. I knew they were changing next year while watching WSU and Colorado State they announced Mountain West might merge with what's left of it.
But to have one division this year, that doesn't make sense. Through all the changes, the Pac-12 and Mountain West are the two conferences which have been both the most consistent both in membership and making geographical sense. Now I hear that UCLA and USC are going to join.... wait for it... the ATLANTIC conference. SMH! If it were up to me, teams would be limited to one conference move every 20 years.

Actually ucla and USC aren’t joining the Atlantic conference, they are joining the big 10. Cal and Stanford are heading to the Atlantic conference. Next year only two conferences will still have divisions, Mac and sun belt. This is a good article that shows all the planned moves for next year.

SMH... The Big TEN will have 18 teams and Big TWELVE will have 16 teams, you'll have California teams in the Atlantic division and two Texas teams in the SouthEAST.... the MAC will be the only conference left that makes any geographical sense. More reasons to stick to FCS. I know it's a business (that doesn't pay its employees) but it's bad for the fans. No wonder they're getting rid of divisions. I stand by what I said above about restricting movements.

Although certainly chaotic and disrupts past traditions, don’t see it ever changing by adding restrictions. It’s all about the money and they will always continue to take precedence over everything else including the feelings of us fans.
