NCAA Will Not Renew EA Sports Contract, NCAA Football Series is Dead in Name Only

[cletus42o]

If it's so easy for them to continue the series WITHOUT NCAA, then why the hell didn't they get rid of them years ago so they could do whatever they wanted? If it was unnecessary to begin with, I can't imagine EA would have wanted the contract themselves..

I'm sure they are, because the last generic game they made sold so well.

Relax. EA will still make the game, only the team and award names will be generic. They will allow us to rename them just like rosters. This is what I believe will happen.

On a Good Note.!!! EA can now make Madden the best football game EVER!!!!!! spend more time and money so they can sell more to make up for the NCAA Lost.........
IF they not letting EA, They not going to let 2K for the same reason, Looks Like our NCAA football days are Done, Cause it won't be any fun playing a No named NCAA game, If it was 2K would have already made such game,...

This could actually work. Instead of just rosters being downloaded, all teams could be, and it would save EA huge amounts in the budget to make up for some of the huge dips in sales that will occur.

This may have been posted already, in which case I am sorry, but the thread is growing faster than I can read lol

But the way I look at it, as long as they can perfect what they have in this years game, worst case scenario we will be able to update rosters into the future. Not sure if this would be feasible or not, but EA could continue to add and patch in updated uniforms in the years to come. Not sure if this would work or not, but figured it was an idea worth mentioning.

Technically, could EA Sports just release '15 a month early since the contract doesn't end till June of 2014?
