Well time for me to find a bunch of loser washed up former players and sign them up as clients to sue their former schools. I'll make my retirement against EA and the 120 separate multi-million dollar universities. :nod:
EA, Hanna Montana and 120 separate multi-million dollar universities just laughed their asses off.Quote:

I'm a stickler for having accurate conferences when it comes to teams. Just as one possibility mentioned, say Stanford is the one, it will never be the same with Pac-12 logos and names already gone, but then to not have Stanford either.
If teams start dropping, I'm done. I'm not going to bother spending my money, even if Teambuilder still exists. I'll just stick with '14 (if these bastards ever release a new patch or tuner update for the goddamn game!) and keep playing that into the future. I can deal with not having Appalachian State or Charlotte in the game since they were never going to be in until next year.
Yeah they should ask EA and the NCAA how funny it is right now.Quote:

That's the best opinion to have. But, I feel for the people whose team will not be in the game. Imagine if Nebraska opted out? Yeah sure you can customize but it just would not be the same. I enjoyed the gameplay of apf 2k8 but could not play the game because the uniforms, logos, and stadiums were not accurate.Quote:

That's why when you are connected online, it always checks for legitimacy of your team before allowing you to use it. If it's vulgar or a copyright infringement or anything like that, they remove it.
nothing is copyright infringement until you do something to profit from it.Quote:

that's England but I'm sure in America its a hand slap too. Now Japan :D who knows and I don't want to find outQuote:
Those downloaders who can show that all their music and films copied from the internet are only for personal use will escape the full weight of the criminal law. But that does not mean personal use downloading is legal. Taking a song or film without paying for it is a breach of copyright. The real issue here is detection and the steps the industries are taking to enforce their members' rights. In a recent development, the British Phonographic Industry has started working with big internet service providers such as Virgin. Thanks to the ISPs' access to IP addresses, the BPI and the ISPs can contact individuals suspected of illegal downloading. Stern letters have been sent which issue threats of disconnection if the file sharing is not discontinued. The BPI has even threatened file-sharers with a court appearance
Okay, I was gone last night so I missed this fact, but every school is under contract next year, but one. There will be an NCAA Football 15.
well maybe so but they can always change their mind. Its only August. :dunno:Quote:

It's "rich" I know but it's a way for the schools to get out of the contract and avoid the INEVITABLE lawsuit later down the line when your loser alumni want a payday from their alma matter
Still, once the smoke clears, they'll come crawling back at the sight of money free and clear.
Presuming a win at the SCOTUS? Yes.Quote:

Your best option is to try to get the SCOTUS to rule you have a 1st Amendment Right to do what you are doing which will prohibit all future lawsuits.
EA suits will have to decide which option is the best route for the company. Honestly, at this point given the current PR being in favor of paying all these "poor" kids that receive COMPLETELY FREE EDUCATIONS EA's best business route is prob option #1.
EA could always come back once the dust settles and pay the athletes or cut a deal later but until the legal groundwork is solid one way or the other its simply not worth it for EA to put out a college game that is a shell of its former self and try to sell it for $60.
The problem with Option 2 is you are in "gray" area right now and it will probably take YEARS to clear up so your going to lose allot of good will while the lawsuit is resolved. You put out a "crappy" "college" game and you will lose allot of customers. You don't put out a game and people lose interest in a college video game.
Player Models need to be completely generic, and should have been all along and we would not have had this problem to start with. With roster being customizable what need is there for them to ship guys with the same jersey # or skin color as their real life counterparts... Cause we all know who QB #2 is for Texas A&M...lol
I give you a high five there. Let the women get more of the stress and let the men live longer lives.Quote:
