NCAA Will Not Renew EA Sports Contract

[Mr.101]

Only article I can find on this, but EA says it will continue to make CFB games.
http://www.wltx.com/sports/article/2...-Will-Continue

I would guess it will be called something like "EA Sports College Football 15"

hopefully they will release a game which is not area restricted. Would love to be able to play it on a UK playstation

What is the difference in an American and British Playstation?

[BritishCock]

absolutely nothing other than British won't play games that are restricted to America such as NCAA

[Halltj2]

Probably should merge this

SEC branding will not be included in future EA college football games

[Halltj2]

ESPN is now reporting the Big Ten is out as well.

[cockinraleigh]

good.

[SWAGGGA]

They will not be in ea sports college football 15 or whatever they call it. The schools still decide if they will be in. But all logos and names of the two conference will not be in

So instead of sec championship it will be something like "southern 14"

Sucks. Possible game killer for me.

[diehardgamecock]

i will not be surprised if the individual schools follow suit.

the end is nigh.

[MillerTime843]

The one year Clowney would be on the cover some crap like this would happen! SMH

All they're going to do is kill time till they're able to create a loop hole then they'll be back.

[Halltj2]

UPDATE: According to Ralph D. Russo at the AP, both the Pac-12 and Big Ten are also declining to renew their deal with EA Sports.

I don't see a game being made next year. They're going to let this lawsuit die and disappear before they even think about another college sports game IMO

[SuperCockMaster]

We won't see another game until everything goes through court, and the athletes can come to an agreement. I foresee college athletes potentially ending up with some sort of union similar to the NFL Player's Union.

I disagree.
It won't just be college athletes.

It will be college football and basketball players

Yeah, but I don't see one. I wonder what it will be if they figure something out. The NCAA will never let players get paid for this. They can't do anything about former players or current players willing to forfeit their elligibility though. If EA continues to make this game they will have to pay any player or former player that holds their hand out. Only if the Obannon and Co. win of course.

I think they use PAL instead of NTSC.

That's ancient history. Now they just number regions and lock it at the software level. Back in the day, TVs had two versions PAL and NTSC. They had different resolutions, so PAL stuff couldn't be played on NTSC and vice versa. Now all signals are 16x9 with standardized HD at 720p or 1080i.

You don't see one? Why? It's simple, all they have to do is put an extra line in a players LOI he signs to a school that allows the school to use their likeness in any way the school chooses.

So when the SEC said they won't be giving them the license for it they're just "saying" that now is what you mean.
