dev diary #77 SimFBA Interface : FCS Teams

[TuscanSota]

Hey everyone,

 

Rocket and I have been working on something and we would like to announce that FCS Teams have been added to the interface.

 

 

For the 2023 Season, FCS teams will be in their own separate league and will be run alongside the FBS League. The data has been uploaded to the interface and includes their current rosters, which are viewable from the roster page and the depth chart page.

 

Users will have the option to schedule an FCS team as an Out of Conference opponent starting next season.

 

At the moment, FCS teams are going to remain under the control of AI; but we're going to look into allowing users to taking on FCS programs sometime after the 2023 season. If you go to the Request Team tab on the interface, none of the FCS teams will appear.

 

There are 60 FCS teams in this update, including the following conferences and teams:

- Big Sky Conference

- Ivy League

- Missouri Valley Football Conference

- Patriot League

- Southern Conference

- Southwestern Athletic Conference

Is USD taken as an Abbreviation? I can't stand seeing USD being called SDAK.

[Minnow]

Also calling dibs on Jacks when they are available

USD is San Diego from BBA. The abbreviations carry across all sports.

hmmm so tempted to drop to FCS ... so tempted

[Minnow]

Damn you Sand Diego taking both USD and SDSU
