It's going to be awhile. I don't know how profitable the game is if they have to pay royalties to the players, and they can't make a game without doing that under current law.

Best hope right now is probably a fully customizable game with fictional schools that we can turn into NCAA.

Even then the game won't do well. See All-Pro 2K8. I never played it and never will because it doesn't have the NFL license behind it. I don't care if the greatest game ever made, if it doesn't have the league's license behind it Redsox out. And this is the way of most customers. They wanna start the game and be able to play as their favorite team without having to create anything themselves.

A feature like team builder, with a stadium builder would do the trick if things can be shared. Obviously, a Lot goes into that being a feature.

And this is exactly the reason why we won't see another NCAA game in the near future. Close minded people who won't even give a game a try unless it's "official"

I'd play a generic game but for another licensed NCAA game to happen the courts will have to reverse the current situation.

Exactly you have to convince the NCAA that it's a worthwhile investment. And that they won't get sued again.
