Pretty sure EA won't let this happen.

Yep ExtremeGamer said when the first 100 games announced were announced that he talked with someone in EA and they the game is not going to be made BC EVER.

Exactly. I'd love to see another ncaa game, but the athletes aren't wrong here. Idk why so many people act like O'Bannon is the devil.

Boggles my mind. If my work tried to sell stuff using my face, you better believe I'd be asking for more compensation than what I'm currently getting. Consumers vilify O'Bannon out of their own selfishness of wanting the game.

Oh please. How about this pay them what their royalty is worth and take away all of the other benefits. 2 to at most 5 players would actually make the amount their free tuition, room, board, books, dining halls, etc. are worth. I don't know if you are aware but college is damned expensive for the average Joe.

Why can't EA just generate completely random and fictional rosters? This is one the text sim developers do, every time you load up you have a different roster. You still have the freedom to create something resembling real life but they in no way start you there.

Sounds like he is blaming Ol OBannon for the loss of EA NCAA football.

Or he just wants that extra money back from EA...
