UPDATE: SCAM - New NCAA Football Game promises 689 teams, needs your support Stuck

Are you unhappy with college football gaming's status quo?

Well time to put your money where you mouth is, at least that's the hope of a relatively unknown developer in Dirty Bird Sports who just launched a $500,000 Kickstarter campaign to fund a new NCAA Football game that proposes it will feature all 689 teams from Division I all the way to NAIA for the XBox 360 and PS3.

You read that right.

Dirty Bird Sports and Jam Entertainment both promise to insert the deepest legacy mode game 'of all time' with promises of deep recruiting, sanctions, and more.

Right now all the game has to show are some renders which first appeared in 2011 on Turbosquid. It's possible the renders were bought with the intention of using them in the game -- it's also possible the developer currently hasn't done anything with the game at this time and everyone is being duped. We're going to be reaching out soon for an interview to get necessary information about where the game is currently at in development and where it's going, along with any details on licensing, etc.

It should be exciting to see where this as of yet unnamed NCAA Football game goes (if anywhere, if it's legit at all), and you can bet we will be covering it on Operation Sports through it's development cycle if it actually, you know ever gets off the ground.

What do you guys think? Will you be supporting this game's Kickstarter?

UPDATE: It's a SCAM.

The potential for this is crazy and honestly I kept help but dream of what it could be... just how BizDev said..

Any pressure on EA, is good pressure.

Donating now. Made right here in ATL and by no other than the original Dirty Bird!

guys, i'm pretty sure the license itself costs way more than $500k. this smells like a scam really bad. there's so little information and just a couple of screenshots they didn't even create? come on, quit donating money. don't get scammed for the love of god.

this is so fake. no company website! no company address! but they want 500,000.00. I just glanced at Jamal Anderson twitter and he has tweeted nothing about this at all. people save your money.

I know both Jamal and the founder of DBS.

His intentions are "to create a game that is affordable yet, enjoyable for all fans. My goal is to provide fans an opportunity to enjoy a detail rich game without charging an arm and a leg."

In my opinion, it seems like he is trying to do the same thing ESPN NFL 2K5 did, which was to release a game for the gamers who cant afford the newest console once it releases. I can guarantee you this isn't a scam. Ive looked into his expenses and after all of the licensing and misc. fees are done, he is looking of a leftover amount of about 35k which is the intended "advertising expenses".

Im tired of EA and, if this can be done by DBS or with 2K, I say why not.
