Yeah but that's not going to come cheaply.

Re: NCAA 2014 = THE END!

Not sure what to say.

Am pretty sure that this thread will undoubtedly become very interesting sooner than later.

I love football, but I follow college football appeals to me in ways NFL doesn't. Not sure I will ever be as excited to play Madden as NCAA. O hope EA decides to continue the franchise anyway they can

Wonder if this would happen if O'Bannon wasn't a BUST.

You young whippersnappers are too young to remember Bill Walsh College Football, which was one of the best football games to ever be produced and had no NCAA or university affiliation. You instead played with "College Station" and "Michigan" (common state name that is under public use) and "Columbus".
Awww yeah!!! Classic!

Re: NCAA 2014 = THE END!

Wow. Kind of hard to believe...I guess the NCAA was trying to get their name out of any potential lawsuit that could stem from the current suit involving EA. But still, I think I would have waited until EA settled with the suing party.

Well.... maybe Tiburon will focus on making NCAA '14 playable now that they don't have to worry about making '15.

Since the contract expires June 2014, I assume EA can still make alterations to their games before that date.

I hope it does make it onto the next gen systems....but I agree if the game does go on each univ will have to sign on.

But with the NCAA being out of it we may see player violations back in the game such as academic ineligibility or breaking team rules which I liked back n day.
