EA Study Claims It Doesn't Use All College Likenesses in Video Games, Just Some

[inkcil]

Pay them already...the "value" of an education is highly subjective. The value of a dollar...not so much.

"What's even more interesting is that EA has hired people to work directly on the NCAA rosters in the past to make them as close to the real thing as possible".

Since they have never been able to use names, this must be referring to physical or ratings likeness or both, either way, GTFOH, lol. The roster creators in the community are the ones that have gotten these rosters as close to the real thing possible, not anyone EA hired, that I am aware of.

No likenesses means, they need to make them look like glitched/UDFA guys in Madden 12 or from Blitz games..? That would suck and destroy the game ever selling again...ever.

Seriously, if they allow for you to DL as many teambuilder schools as you want, then they can make the game as generic per rosters as they want...and those sim folks of us will do all the rest of the work (like we do already, honestly).

Not just college football games but potentially any other collegiate sport too unless some kind of licensing is figured out.

Hopefully.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Kids that are on academic scholarships and band scholarships are getting the same free education, room and board, etc that kids on athletic scholarships are. The only difference, the kids on band and academic scholarships are allowed to make money off of their own image and the ones that are on athletic scholarships are not. That needs to be corrected.
