One thing I don't think people are realizing is that paying of players MUST happen to keep college football/basketball alive.

That really sucks that EA is quiting NCAA football. Probably means we wont get another patch to fix some issues, considering when they quit making NCAA basketball they left us all high and dry. Actually up until this year that was the main reason I quit buying EA games, because of them doing us dirty with College hoops game, and the fact that EA games isnt usually all that good anyway.
Have to say this years NCAA football is very close to be a great game, its the most fun I have had with a football game in a long long time. I was afraid because of the law suit that we might be SOL on college games unfortunately.
Some vodoo person needs to put a hex on Ed O'bannon and the guys that sued for likeness is all I got to say. If something bad were to happen to O'bannon I would not feel the least bit sorry

Wow this fing blows. Soo sad just like when 2k announced no more college hoops. I have bought this game for the last 15 to 20 years. Whenever bill walsh came out. Really going to be a void come next july. I hope its only a 1 year deal and they come back in 15. Sad sad day.

Why not take this as an opportunity to take make a game outside the confines of the NCAA? Why not have a EA College Football 14 with fake universities and players that are completely editable. To me, this is an opportunity to innovate rather than accept the status quo.

Just another, of many, examples of greed destroying people and society. I mean that from all sides involved. You know everything does not always ha e to be about money, but unfortunately nowadays it just does.

Greedy little punks ruining the whole game series. To HELL with these guys suing the NCAA.

on the bright side I no longer have a need for a console, I can cancel my next gen preorder and save some money.

Back to exclusively pcgaming for me.

PEACE

LOL at the notion the athletes are being exploited.

The "I gotta get mine" generation strikes again. One more reason I am losing interest in college football.
