Meh. As long as all the teams are there, they could call it Rainbow Pony Football for all I care. But this just goes to show you the NCAA are shitting their pants scared about the lawsuit. Their "amateurism" scam may finally be crumbling.

They better make the madden games great now

You would think

some other company would pick this up.

I'm under 25 and I know who Ed O'Bannon is. I also know his brother Charles.

Both played for UCLA in the mid 90's

NOOOOOOOO.......................Update on College Football - EA News

Today I am sad to announce that we will not be publishing a new college football game next year, and we are evaluating our plan for the future of the franchise. This is as profoundly disappointing to the people who make this game as I expect it will be for the millions who enjoy playing it each year. I’d like to explain a couple of the factors that brought us to this decision.

Welp. Madden better have a create your own draft class feature (NBA 2k games have it) so I can get college draft picks or I won't be buying Madden either. Fucking NCAA ruins it for everybody because they won't pay players.

fuck this shit

I really hate EA sometimes. I'm a big fan of the NHL series but only because it's the only hockey game on the market at the moment. Really wish someone else would pick up the NHL license. Always wanted to see EA include college teams in their NHL game but I guess there's no chance of that happening now.

Me and 5 other buddies have an online league going and decided we'll just keep playing NCAA 14 for the next few years. Might do the same with Madden 25. I'm gonna put off getting any new systems long as I can.
