They couldn't give the players anything because the NCAA would have banned any player who took anything (even a free or probably even subsidised copy of the game).

Why would they do that? Its our rosters. We can do whatever we damn well please with them.

As an avid NCAA'er this is pretty terrible news. I enjoy my roster project quite a bit, and honestly without an NCAA football game I don't really have a reason to own a game console anymore. It sucks for me, but I guess I'm 31 now and might have to give up my one guilty pleasure. I still feel like the last gen on NCAA's were better games overall in terms of gameplay. I will miss this series. Been buying NCAA since 2000 on PS1. I guess now I will have time to go in depth with my old 2006 historic roster. Sucks to be forced to give up a fun hobby like this.

Not really, because they're hosted by EA. Taking them down could also be part of the settlement.

I know...the lack of playoff is why I didn't get the game this year...now I dont know...2015 is earliest for the next game

Because they really can't make any money off of it anymore they would just shut down the equipment and save the operating cost.

Right before the new playoffs and new systems... great. So dumb. All because of "player likeness". A video game doesnt effect how i think of a player.

That would be nice....although I figure that a patch to fix ongoing issues is a long shot.

Still, I'd be happy to pay a modest price for the addition.....EA should make it available. The NCAA has nothing to do with the playoff system.
