Fingers crossed this isn't the end of the NCAA series...

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.
CLC, which manages licensing for most of the schools in EA’s NCAA Football, says it will do so in the future even as the NCAA drops out.

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.
Rushing of the field in next gen??Quote:

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:
