I also wish the CPU would be mindful of things like clock management and this should be set to how long your quarters are. I am sick and tired of the CPU going on 13 play drives that cover 75 yards, and yet only taking 1:46 off the clock. If a company could release a great, fully customizable game, then I would be all in.

I was thinking about this today, the idea of 2k taking a shot at college football.

2K blew madden out of the water, I can only imagine how much better their take on a CFB video game would be compared to EA. They always had more off field features to keep the game alive in comparison. I could see options for stadium/facility expansions and renovations, the return of discipline, etc etc.

I think it was quite selfish of the players to ruin a college football game for millions of people for friggin 1500 bucks.

It's not the player's fault, they should be compensated. It's not EA's fault, they are willing to compensate the players for their likenesses. The NCAA's ridiculousness is the real culprit. They allow this climate where schools, apparel companies, TV networks, and they themselves squeeze every dime they can out of these players w/o throwing anything back their way.

Problem is you will never have a fully customizable game because the same thing applies. Some will make a roster will real college rosters, create logos, etc.........and the game maker would be sued for licensing because they allowed those likenesses to be edited into the game. Until the NCAA comes up with a plan to pay the players the $1500 or so for likeness use (where it is a payment set aside until the player leaves school or whatever...), there will be no college games.
