That would be BALLSY especially if EA doesn't have an easy out clause in case the lawsuit doesn't go "well" for them. It could mean EA is in for the FIGHT or it could mean nothing all dependent on the contractual language (which we will never see) of course.Quote:

It's just a matter of the name. In the end the video game will survive don't freak out ppl. Whatever will make EA moo-laa they will do. I'm not even worried a bit.
I know. People are freaking out. The NCAA is trying to get out of hot water. The game isn't going anywhere.Quote:

By now, most fans will have heard that EA's licensing agreement with the NCAA is set to expire and that we have agreed to part ways. I'm sure gamers are wondering what this means.
This is simple: EA SPORTS will continue to develop and publish college football games, but we will no longer include the NCAA names and marks. Our relationship with the Collegiate Licensing Company is strong and we are already working on a new game for next generation consoles which will launch next year and feature the college teams, leagues and all the innovation fans expect from EA SPORTS.
We took big creative strides with this year's college game and you’ll see much more in the future. We love college football and look forward to making more games for our fans.
freaking ? stressing ? :) those are reactions for real life problems. Somewhat disappointed would be a better term.Quote:

It very well could be GREAT news. Gives EA more flexibility potentially.

I expect defense. And being able to run a defense based on having the right type of players playing at the right spot in the base defense, i.e. an OLB isn't an OLB isn't an OLB who is just assigned left or right.....a WILL's attributes and body type is different than a SAM's based off the defensive philosophy and alignments aren't just a simple flip of the play art.........Quote:

Then, basing off of that defense, as well as having other sets with different personnel (which they *kinda* do now....they limit how many formation subs you can do), having defenders play zones and align correctly, having a fucking spy defender not wait until after the QB has crossed the LOS to even react.
Yes, we can get a end game minigame where you and up to 4 players can control drunk college students trying to get past security and police to tear down the goalpost to take back to your fraternity.
or drunk players go to rob the local gas station for $15 to have money to get into the club the night of a game where they made the school a million bucks...
limitless possibilities...
i wish 989 studios would fire up game creation again and come out with Gamebreaker '15 just to see what it would be like =)
Count me in as someone who would love to see the discipline feature return (well that and custom signs :DQuote:

Schools are not yet 100% on board with the news today...
http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports...-arts/2525843/
However, University of Kansas athletics department spokesman Jim Marchiony -- who identified his school as a CLC client -- said KU officials will want to digest the NCAA's decision. Marchiony said Kansas' agreement with EA, via CLC, for the current version of NCAA Football expires June 30, 2014.
"I'm not surprised CLC and EA Sports have a Plan B and we're looking forward to hearing from them about it, to see how we'll proceed in the future," Marchiony said. "We will certainly talk about it, where we go from here."
Schools getting advised by their counsel that they dodged a bullet by not being named Defendants in the class action lawsuit. It's only a matter of WHEN (not if) the Universities get sued for video games for college sports.Quote:

Does this mean we could possibly see an eight or sixteen team playoff option next year?! I've always been under the impression that it was the NCAA's decision to exclude the playoff from the game.
ROFL! I wonder if College Gameday considered visiting the spring game and giving it GotW status...Quote:

No need to apologize. We haven't won a game in since 2011. :fp:Quote:

im sorry i still don't see how that can even go to court... how can a player sue a school for that school being in a game... when they DON'T sue for numbered jersey, t-shirts and other stuff?Quote:

Here's hoping that this isn't the beginning of the end of College Football Videogames. Maybe, just maybe, it is the beginning of EA having more creative control over how we can customize everything in our dynastys. Like playoffs and conferences, could be an improvement. Optimistic.Quote:

I wonder how this will play with the SEC already hinting at a complete break with the NCAA, and the Big Ten possibly to follow next week at their media days?
the sec can already go fuck themselves. :DQuote:
