    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.

    Worst selling version EVER!!! Everyone would boycott the shit outta that which would be awesome if they got a cut of that year's game.

    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.

    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.

    even if this closed down. The Video game sports world knows a football game will sell well and someone will come up with an idea somewhere. EA didn't invent it

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

    I'd prefer they work on defense but I'm sure that could enter the game now. Although it could subject EA to future lawsuits when someone gets injured.

    Yeah I'm sure would be happy with the scenario of your DC is raping boys do you report it to the cops. Or with Tatoo U. etc... I'm sure the schools don't want a realistic discipline true to life system where nearly every program has to make a call on whether to keep hush hush some sort of bad actor.

    Could it be done? Probably if it was ONLY a number? But with people here flipping out about wrong heights; weights; race; socks; helmets; dreads; etc....

    you really think a title with all that being wrong would sell? i doubt it.
    It probably would. If people understood that it was either that or nothing? Yeah, I could see it happening that way.

    And roster editing certainly wouldn't be something that would get EA in trouble. That's a silly notion. People aren't making money off of said rosters, and it's impossible to prove that EA is making money off people's custom rosters (as in people buying the game just for that), so it would end up being a non-issue even if pursued.

    all the innovation fans expect
    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.........
    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.

  19. #99
    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 =)
