Law Firm Announces Prelminary Approved Settlement With EA in Likeness Case

[videlsports]

Over 20 years and some players that did not make the pro's complaining about a video game, I'm not sure any network will hire you guys for a job after this lawsuit. I wouldo be proud to be in a game in fact Ive a relative in the madden series our family. Is not in arms about it. Its a small legacy

I wish they could make another NCAA football game for the new systems,but I thought I heard somewhere a little while back,that if they make another college football game that the NCAA would not put there name on it and license it,hence the other college football conferences may not endorse the game? I'm sorry I'm not playing a game that has fictional conferences and bowl games,I know a lot of people probably thinks that's pretty and stupid,but I want the real thing not a generic college football game that's been edited. Sorry.

nope, only EA & the CLC settled. The NCAA is still in the suit.

As a guy that has owned every NCAA college football game it wouldn't bother me if they make another game or not. I honestly cannot get angry over stuff I can't control.

IF EA is rating the players trust me it'll never be super accurate.

They can't even get the Madden ratings right

I honestly believe that once the O'Bannon case is settled, the ball may begin rolling on this issue. That will determine athlete compensation. There's likely to be some compromise (i.e., players receiving payment for likeness post graduation or x number of years). The Keller case (IMO) does not directly impact the issue of compensation. I'm optimistic that EA/CLC could make an announcement by year's end.
