All of this is a result of selfishness. Personally, I think the damned athletes get paid enough with 100K+ scholarships. Thanks to them, there are no college video games. What's so sad is most of them played the damned things. I hope they never pay them a red cent.

I still don't understand how they can't just randomize the player info and therefore not really be using player likenesses at all. If people are willing to go in and do all the editing, they can have an accurate roster.

I'm sure they would have to do something to prohibit file sharing, but surely that isn't too difficult either.

At this point I'm holding on to the faint hope NCAA 14 comes to XB1 BC but I don't even see that happening...

This is truly sad. I nearly cried after reading their verdict. This is such a selfish case of wanting recompense. The entire case makes very little sense to cause all of this. As if scholarships aren't enough for some of these people. And as far as the NCAA games' case is, no matter how much information is used, it is all general information, minus their names. The NCAA has at least some right to use a student-athlete's likeness as they are officially under the NCAA licensing, no matter how you put it.

This is a sad day for sports games, maybe even games in general.

I agree..... I also blame EA for locking 2k out of the market. 2k at least gave us options for the pro game.

If a company used my likeness for a video game (or anything, really) without my permission, I'd be trying to get my monetary value out of it. Don't understand how anyone can feel differently.

As far as I am concerned, make the games completely generic and customizable. I don't care if they are in it and I am a huge college football fan.... But they can just not be in there. Fine with me. I can create 11 versions of myself and name the team My Team... Any royalties will go to me.
