    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.

    I can overlook the whole no Big Ten/Pac-12 in next year's game. But if multiple teams drop out (and actually drop out and not appear next year, not just say they won't renew the license in the future), then even if '15 releases, I think I'll end up skipping it. 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.

    Well in fairness they are in legal battles with lawyers who do not spend half their day dissing the Xbox One and posting PS4 news.

    If lots of stuff is customizable, and shareable. It'll still work. Just gotta wait and see. But I'm not negative on the subject like 99% of people. Instead of believe it when I see it, I will believe it not existing when I don't see it showing up next July.

    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.

    You won't be able to create teams that have opted out. As soon as EA finds it, they would be forced to remove it (ala Youtube). EA is supposed to be removing NFL teams presently and while they're not completely removing all of them, I'm sure if/when schools opted out, they'd be damn sure to watch TeamBuilder for their likeness. 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.

    the Boston U Giants in Boston New York are fictional fun. In no way, shape or form am I claiming this is the New York Giants or profiting from that.


    that's either black or a really dark blue also

    No kidding. Check every movie and album that has the FBI warning. You're not profiting from it, but it's infringement.

    ok, its not infringement worth worrying about then. No one bothers involving laws or the legal system until it can profit them or keep someone else from profiting. Sports franchises especially have borrowed from their pasts and similar team names and colors etc since the beginning, so people feel a sense of familiarity with something new.

    I didn't question legality. I questioned level of importance and actually carrying out of said laws. Hardly anyone, if anyone especially in America is serving hardcore time for that. You cant overload prisons with a bunch of 15 year olds looking for free tunes etc .

    look at youtube. Kids are making a few bucks off of playing Madden online and showing a video with commentary of it. And JBs gig he went to last night as well as all gigs. People are filming it with their phones and posting it on youtube. The old laws of bringing a camera to a gig without being a journalist don't apply anymore.



    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
    that's England but I'm sure in America its a hand slap too. Now Japan who knows and I don't want to find out
