    in madden you could say people buy it because of the real players..but I don't buy ncaa because I think its the real players or because I follow any team or player. I just get rosters because it makes online more entertaining and gives it personalization. I don't know most of the players or care who they are. Its just better then seeing LB #40 on the back. The public are the only people personalizing the game. Ea cant correctly emulate thousands of college kids to any exactitude.

    I read through a few of the comments, and here is what I know.

    1. Very little actually comes from the NCAA License. Pretty much the name on the front of the cover and the NCAA logo. All the school, stadiums, bowls, conferences, trophies, etc. are all either licensed through the CLC, or individually. Also, college football is the only college sport where the NCAA does not run the championship. It is all decided through the conferences.

    2. I would doubt another company would try to create a competing college football game. College Football 2K3 was the last one 2K did (and that was well before an exclusive NCAA license was done). The up front cost for another studio to develop that game would be very high. The engine, the art, and even a basic career mode would all take a pretty significant amount of time for something that would be competing with established brands.

    3. For the litigation. I'm don't fully know. I doubt this would have any real difference in the current lawsuits. But, that's just my opinion.

Also, Madden NFL, FIFA, and NHL are big sellers in EA Sports. Time to bring EA's NHL also to Vita w/ gameplay similar to FIFA.
    Yeah, stick to hoping for 2K. If Sony makes it, no doubt those stupid cunts would make it PS3/PS4 exclusive and say "fuck you" to the 360/XBONE user-base.

    What the heck would you expect Sony to do? Do you see Halo, GOW or any MS Developed game on the PS3?

    Just because 2K5 was good a decade ago and The Show is good now does not necessarily mean Sony or 2K will make a good football game today, even if they were given 2 or 3 years to develop it.

    Remember 2K had a couple years to make APF 2K8 and while I enjoy 2K football games it was nothing special. Honestly the only thing that impressed me about the game was the sidelines, blocking and WR/DB interaction.

    Sony or Microsoft would never even bother with a college game because it would never make enough money on one platform to make it worthwhile.

    I think it all depends on what the licensing fees would cost. If Playstation 4 and SCEA put something together in an attempt to undercut xbox1 and it looked decent I would have no objections to purchasing multiple football titles. There are a lot of EA haters out there who would jump at the chance for another game. However, I think people need to have realistic expectations of any new competitor and how far behind they will be. IMO it would be a lot easier to compete against Madden versus NCAA (eg 30 stadiums versus 126, sb vs. bowls, roster sizes, etc.).

    Right, but Sony wouldn't be interested in it. They would have to develop an engine, which costs millions, and then dedicate 2 or 3 years to getting the first version out only to then have to compete with the already established EA Sports.

    Then they would be at another disadvantage because they would only be selling on one system. I doubt a potential 500,000 units sold would even begin to entice Sony, and I'm being generous with that number.

    It's one thing for titles like Halo, Gears of War, God of War, etc to be exclusive on PS3 and 360, but console exclusivity for sports titles are just fucking stupid. If EA dropped NCAA, Sony picked it up and those cunts made it console exclusive, I'd be burning Sony headquarters to the ground.
