Likely won't see fringe things like cheating brought into the game because schools don't want that either. But some of the more fun things like celebrations could be done again -- just depends.

My theory on anything regarding college football is the less the NCAA is involved, the better it can possibly be.

I just did and diddy song and dance!!! Best news I heard all day series has been stale for almost a decade with a new splash of paint on it every year and minor tweaks if not any to gameplay. Is a EA college game going away? no way. I just hope this finally gives other company's a chance to create a new college football experience cough 2K? We need more sports titles to go against each other to so they keep working hard and not fluffing off. P

Remember in old NCAA's you had to discipline kids... They could bring that back.

But yes the less the NCAA is involved im sure the better the game can be.

I want to see kids have to go to classes or get suspended. That was awesome

I'm sorry, why is EA hurting right now?

This seems like a technicality

[thinkjoey]

there must be some restrictions that NCAA brought into the game

From what EA said...it was a mutual thing...so they must know the advantages of not having NCAA involved.

NCAA was a crutch in the beginning to convince people to buy the game...but now all they give are advertisements in the game...EA no longer needs them

Good step forward imo

Welcome back? Maybe? I just like the sound of this. I hope they use it once again. Unless they have something better.

If they didn't need to spend extra with NCAA endorsements and can have more freedom now without it, why didn't they make a game without NCAA in the name in the first place??
