NCAA Will Not Renew EA Sports Contract, NCAA Football Series is Dead in Name Only

[BBallcoach]

So they will go to each conference, and get teams and unlimited slots for TB hopefully!

2K is reading the headlines trust me. Now we have an even playing field. Again. Now we just need the NFL to follow suit.

I think he's completely justified and I hope he wins the case. College athletes are exploited to high heaven, imo.

they were talking about this on local sports radio:

put something in the scholarship where the player waives the right to sue because of videogames using their likeness or they cant take the scholarship. i dont know if many would agree to that or how that would affect walkons though.

Do a search on OS in the CB forum to find the article when 2k announced it wasnt continuing the CB2k series. You will find plenty of posts and articles about it.

One other thing is Owen Good confirmed today that Take Two isnt a fan of licensed products. The three licenses it owns are from games that are either...huge sellers (NBA)....purchased for nothing during a bankruptcy (WWE)...or cost next to nothing (MLB after MLB 2k12).

I checked it out. They last put out a game in 2002. That's a million years ago.

You may certainly be correct but 2k's past experience may not be determinative 11 years later.

LOL.

HOW IS IT EVEN??????

EA still has the license. EA is still releasing a game.

EA even has the advantage of having a CF game they have been working on for years.

Do you know how difficult it would be for 2k to update APF2k8 to next gen and to a college game? Design 127 stadiums. Create all of those teams and still have to compete against a known commodity like EA.

I really think you guys must not like 2k if you are encouraging them to make a college game after they lost money on the last one they released.
