If anyone deserved to get a pink slip it was him.

I don't think he has publicly announced his fate following the NCAA wipeout.Quote:

Also, Ben was the primary guy we corresponded with anytime we had questions, needed clarification, sent on feedback, etc. He has always been more than willing to respond and try to help out, including e-mailing back at all hours of the day, when on vacation, during E3, etc. He did a lot to help the NCAA franchise & community, more than John Q. Public realizes. I can definitely understand game frustrations, but he shouldn't be the fall guy.
Every word is correct. Thank you for putting that out there Chris. Ben is a standup guy and he cared tremendously for the series. I, for one, wish him the best in whatever he does next.Quote:

Bringing up shit from 4 or 5 games ago is meaningless. The team that worked on NCAA made HUGE strides in trying to bring back what made the PS2 era of their games amazing. Unfortunately, it was constantly plagued by bugs because of a poor engine and a console generation that just wasn't able to handle 22 fully rendered human skeletons on the screen at once all attempting to obey the laws of physics while colliding into each other.Quote:

Its not like he was the only person responsible for the game/series shortcomings.
I've NEVER met the guy but he comes across as a decent enough guy that really loves college football and video games.
I suspect many years he toed the company line and spat out the "talking points memo" on "wind socks" etc.... when he knew their were other things that should been addressed instead.
I also suspect he probably is unemployed at this time so it could be a long time before he is able to catch on somewhere else.

I didn't always agree with the NCAA decisions but in no way do I condone people taking shots at these guys now that they are out of work. These people have families and bills to pay just like the rest of us. I wish them all the best and hope they land on their feet.Quote:

"There's nothing stopping [EA] from making the game, so long as they don't use players' names, images or likenesses. Or [they could] pay the students, which they didn't really agree to," said Aragon.
So, it does pretty much boil down to the douchebags at the NCAA allowing players to be paid (or the NCAA to just up and die) for this series to get off life support.
Once again, do this and add all that customizable stuff they were working on and I'd (as well as a lot of others) still gladly buy it.Quote:
