With the ratings they gave out I doubt that, EA would have made Tebow far more overrated than underrated.

Nah. In order to show off their QB Inaccuracies they probably put his accuracy at 40, but seriously. I highly doubt that Tebow was taken out of the game after one offseason of not being on a team.

Probably because he hasn't played since 2012 and hasn't had significant season since 2011.

Not quite because the first roster update will probably be around week 1 of the season, by that time teams will be down to 53 man rosters so there will be plenty of free agents who didn't make the final 53.

The union is there to protect it's players but they are also given the duty of giving out royalty checks as they are the one's that get paid by EA. I did a little research on it, former players actually have to join the PA as a "former player." They continue to get pension and coverage regardless of if they join this union or not. Either way, since he's had some tryouts, it's safe to assume he is still part of the PA.

This was all part of the revenue sharing arguments of the last CBA. EA pays a set amount to the NFL which is divided between the owners and the players. Every licensing partner the NFL has sends a certain amount to the PA and they send it out to the players. It's basically free money at the end of the year for the players. EA doesn't pay based on the amount of players, whether there are 1696 players in the game (32 teams of 53 players) or 2000 players they pay they same amount.

why are people like tebow ochocinco and owens out of the game when they clearly state they are not retired and are continuing their pursuit of a NFL job? the fact that he says "oh espn anncoucer tebow" is ignorant and annoying. if tebow was offered a 3rd string position on an team he'd leave espn for that.

The problem is Tebow hasn't been offered that 3rd string job. Since being released by the Pats he hasn't had single job offer. With all the injuries to QB's last year and not a single job offer it is safe to say his career is over. Owens is going to be a 41 year old WR this year who hasn't played since 2010. Ochocino is a 36 year old WR who hasn't played since 2011 and hasn't had a significant season since 2010. There are hundreds of former players still in pursuit of an NFL job. It sucks when a player you really like isn't in the game but there has to be a cutoff somewhere. You can always use create a player to recreate them if these players mean that much to you.
