Well EA, now that you don't have a game that more than 1,000 people are going to buy next year (that was a sarcastically low number, calm down), how about giving us the playoff option I wanted in this year? I'm not going to buy '15 now and that will be the first time I haven't purchased the NCAA franchise since NCAA '98. So, be a pal and give me the playoff option this year via download, k? I'll even pay $5 for it.

Thanks.

EA does still have the license until June '14 I believe. NCAA '15 released in May?

Congratulations on picking the outliers and asserting those as proof of your claim. Unfortunately, most athletic departments are NOT profitable. Research, indeed, but don't just stop when you find some info you like.

I feel like drinking a beer and listening to country music all day! Maybe it is sad that a grown man is quite upset about the end of a video game....but thats where I am. Man, some good memories. And Great memories playing it with buddies in high school!!

Given the litigious mess EA finds itself in right now, I would be shocked if they leveraged the license to produce one more version.

Sad that NCAA Football as we've known it is done for the time being. We can only hope at the conclusion of the court stuff it can come back in some way resembling what it has been. Was a great marketing tool for football programs and schools themselves.

Pretty sure they have the license until June because its implied or agreed upon that new versions will come out in July. I highly doubt EA has any intentions of releasing a game in May.....but on a side note, it would be an easy money grab. Just release the same broken game again with really fouled up rosters and announcers that won't say anyones name.
