| This may be old news for some but I don't really keep up with the latest news. I understand EA Sports is dropping NCAA Football because of players lawsuits. This is very sad to me. Until a few years ago during Black ops 1 life cycle when I found COD I only really played 2 games for about a 10 year period. Madden and NCAA Football. Those are still the only 2 games I get every year other than COD. I know some of you keep up with the latest in gaming. If anyone has news on this I would like to know. I would really like to know if someone else may pick it up or if EA may do a new football game not related to NCAA. I kind of doubt they would because their whole thing is trying to be as close to real life experience as possible.
It would be cool to have a game where you create a league from the ground up. I play those games on dynasty mode and spend as much time building the teams, drafting, recruiting free agents, etc. as I do playing the football games. A game with a generic league that the user creates would be fun at least for me. | |

| I HEARD some time ago that they may do a game with the big name schools, just not using the NCAA name?? No idea what's going to happen, I've been playing a lot of NCAA 14 lately. | |

| This would only be good news if they use the NCAA to studio to re graph madden into Mutant league football for the current gens. That would pretty much make my decade. I loved that game as a kid.
i still get madden every year but not NCAA the last couple. I loved the game but when I got both I would be all footballed out by the time madden came around. | |

| I was a huge NCAA fan. I followed this a little bit, and I'm not sure if I'm 100% correct, but what I heard was that it was no secret there had been issues with EA and student athletes for some time. It came to a head this past summer as a couple of players filed and won a lawsuit. As a result, EA will not only have to pay out to the former players involved in the lawsuit, but sources at ESPN have stated that EA will more than likely have to pay 200,000-300,000 former and current student athletes for the use of their likeness. Because of this, EA has announced that until a new deal can be struck with the NCAA, they will discontinue their college football game. There was some talk about a final release on the PS4, but that has not been confirmed. None of this should have any impact on their pro football game.
It was still a huge disappoint for me because I only played the college game. I love football, but strongly believe, right or wrong, that guys who are really playing for the love of the game, shouldn't be making million dollar contract deals. I tend to get on my soapbox here, but I find wrong that we place a higher monitory value on athletes than the men and women who protect our country or teach our children. Just sayin'. That's why I don't get into or support professional sports. But that's just me. | |

| The issue with NCAA though is that, instead of the individuals getting paid, it's the colleges and universities. Sure the athletes get a scholarship (4 1-year scholarships) and, theoretically, an education. But the school gets millions and had been profiting off their past students for years. The lawsuit was to address that. I don't think the students actually won any damages, they just won the right to sue. EA was trying to get the case dismissed and they lost that. | |

| You could be right about that. I'm just going off of the bits and pieces I've skimmed through on my ESPN app. I think that the comment was that EA could potentially have to pay out to those students. So that makes sense. But regardless, it's still a huge disappointment. | |
