I can go on and on. This game should have been cancelled long time ago along with madden but because some continue to waste 60 bucks for crap, EA continue to get paid for doing absolutely nothing.

Yea well thanks for lookin out for me and how I choose to spend my money. You are dismissed. Oh and Ed O' Bannon,enjoy your legacy as not only an overhyped basketball player that failed in the NBA,but also the man that shut down "all" college sports video games.

Because their free housing, food, education, etc is just sooooo bad

They aren't saddled with student loans, ect. They can complain all they want they are getting a ton for these scholarships. It's they fault they don't take full advantage of their education. If I make my company a couple more million a year, they aren't giving me any of it, they are paying me to do my job. Same goes with college athletes, they are getting paid in form of an education.

Honestly I feel outright compensation shouldn't occur but revoking some of the policies such as not allowing an athlete to use their own likeness to make money. That should be allowed and it could free up some extra money for them for things like food and extras.

I do agree with you, but there's a recent movement in the NCAA and NFL that keeps trying to say 'its not enough'.

Outright compensation will completely kill collegiate athletics.

This case is not about doing 'whats right'.

It's about two men who chose the easy path through college, had no career options and opted to sue under the guise of being a 'holy crusader'. The NCAA is shady, but so is O'Bannon/Keller.

Why would they shut them down? Wouldn't this increase '14 sales? If that's the case, I guess I should be getting my Platinum trophy very quick like..

Dissapointed becuase maddden only has 32 teams college football seems to have more variety becuase of more teams

They need to do something to make up for this

Disappointing news, although not entirely surprising.
