Lawyers Never Wanted to Sack the EA Sports College Football Series


With the EA/CLC settlement completed and many on the EA Sports NCAA team blindsided without a job, the money-grabbing lawyers have finally chimed in with a few things to say.

Quote:
"We would've been happy to have the game go forward. It was never our intent to not have this game [continue]...

"That's not us. We didn't tell them to do that," said Aragon, when asked to comment on EA's cancellation of next year's college football title. "We would be fine if they published a game."

"There's nothing stopping [EA] from making the game, so long as they don't use players' names, images or likenesses. Or [they could] pay the students, which they didn't really agree to..."

Bull****. If the defendant lawyers "didn't intend" EA to stop making the game they wouldn't have put it in the lawsuit. Those rat bastards are just trying to play the good guy now.

Well since EA has never used any players names or images in their games, I am guessing player likeness is the key and to honestly avoid that, I am guessing EA would have to make all the players green, but then we might be getting lawsuits from someone who lives off on another planet.

I'm pretty sure they intended for EA to continue making the game, so long as someone got paid.

Typical money grab, only the only people who made any money in this fiasco were the lawyers.

Not to mention that conferences, and also a good majority of schools themselves, said they would not allow EA to use their brand.

The best EA could have done was created a generic college football game with generic teams and conferences, and we all know how that would have worked.

It would be nice if those guys that were fired would take their ideas to another company to develop a fully customizable college football game. Its a possibility as long as there are no player likenesses.
