Over 10,000 Athletes Have Opted-in to EA Sports College Football 25

Imagine, too, if a part of Arch Manning or any other player not opting in means that said last name or both names in any case will ever be recorded / heard in the game, ever. How many other kids with the last name Manning are going to hold a deep seeded grudge against him?

While you can technically trademark a last name, or attempt to, the Mannings have not done that. Arch opting out would not keep EA from having the name Manning be in the game. There are other current players with the last name, and if they opt in, EA will have free use to have the name be a recorded line in the game. Even if they don't opt in, EA would have legal use to the last name.

I wonder if EA is going to reuse Madden’s QB throwing motions, or add in some truly unique looking generics. I’d love to give my Road To Glory QB a big slow Byron Leftwich like windup but an absolute cannon.

I do hope so. Not sure if running styles are in Madden, but I would like to have the Isaiah Pacheco running style for my Power RB

You are misunderstanding what OneTeam Partners is. EA is paying them to represent EA and get all the paperwork for the players who are opting in. They are probably creating the list of players to be ambassadors and getting EA to approve that and the contracts.

They are not representing the players. They do represent individual players, but not in this case. The players will have their own agents review the contract. The fact that EA and OneTeam sent a contract to all the players for $600 only means they were paid to do that. They were consulted, ran some numbers, and came to an agreement that $600 was the right number to offer the players. If you already know you will pay $600, you want a simplified way to contract will all the players. The best way for EA to do that is to pay a 3rd party to do it for them or work with the conferences and have them do it.

What about non-current/active college football players? If they don't "opt in" will we not be able to create them?

Yeah, I worded that poorly. It should have read EA's go-between representative. It's all semantics anyway :shrug:

[stooge 1010]

i just wonder if we will be able to create players in game, should be able to and not share them. i mean if i wanted to i could make arch manning on madden.
