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

Wow a bizarre day! If anything, not having the NCAA name could be great as it should allow for better customization and now that the next gen is here, the game should be EPIC.

To everyone wanting 2k to throw their hat in the ring... Go play College Football 2k3, it's terrible.

Now also remember they havent made a football game in what 5 years now since APF? They will have to make it next gen and that will cost more to make then they could make from the game. They would have to secure the NFL as well and the NFL and EA love each other.

For use NCAA fans "College Football 15" will be better in every way. The NCAA is like a pedophile at a kid's birthday party, they ruin everything. EA can make dynasty deeper and heck maybe even include FCS schools in there or no restrictions to TB teams imported

haha, I remember saying that when the PS3 and X360 came out. Yeah...upgrades, haha.

It appears they just take the NCAA off and every little detail associated with that. Everything else can remain the same?

I wonder if they will be able to put back the disciplinary actions that were in the PS2 version years back.

I am still gonna take a wait and see approach. I want to believe, I really do. When EA starts putting out some good, solid info, I will be convinced. Until then I will be cautiously optimistic but still worried.

In the meantime, I hope EA gives NCAA 14 the love and support it needs/deserves. I need a patch or a tuner update so I can see fumbles by someone other than QBs.

For anybody wondering why EA Sports still carried the NCAA licence:

EA had an exclusive agreement with CLC until the end of 2013.

Would love either one of those without a doubt.

Agreed and I want to see my first holding penalty called.
