The NCAA Football Offseason Seems So Much Longer

this offseason is gonna suck without this game. i can remember having to order it back in the early 2000's because they didnt sell the game in Canada. this was the only game i looked forward to every year, i routinely skip NHL and havent bought Madden in over 10 years. oh well, hopefully someone picks up this game

I've purchased EA's NCAA game ever since NCAA 2003 and it's going to feel really weird not getting it this season.

The good thing is there are some great roster guys in the community here who I know will put out great updated rosters. Buff Eyes and Yukon being two of the best for the 360.

It will be bitter sweet this summer not having a new game but I'm still playing 2k8 College Hoops and MLB 2k12 with updated rosters so I'm sure I'll get used to NCAA being in the same boat as those two titles.

The plus side to this (the only one besides saving money), is that I won't have to wait for patches to drop to fix gameplay. I usually never was able to start a real dynasty until September or October and sometimes had to wait longer for all the patches to drop.

It is extremely disappointing that all college sports have disappeared from the console landscape. It's been nearly five years since we've had a new college basketball game, and at this point I do not expect to ever see one again. As for football, I'd say there is a much better chance of that game returning, but I wouldn't expect it for at least 3-4 years.

The reality is all the NCAA-related lawsuits have to die down. Next, the NCAA needs to finalize the athletes' pay issues. Once those are eventually figured out, the licensing issues will come next. I would imagine EA is the most likely developer to bring the sport back to video games. Hopefully it comes back at all.
