      Not a big deal, EA will just settle out of court by paying off the guy.

            I'm sure this dude isn't the first person to think of Superstar mode. It wasn't really THAT revolutionary of a feature. But he'll get paid off so cheers to him.

              It's not a matter of thinking up the idea. The reason for suit is because he went to EA and basically pitched that idiea in a game he was developing. Basically, it looks like EA said no thanks to the guy then copped his idea.

                Oh man, EA can't be original anymore. I guess now they pay for it out of their pockets.

                  Well, ideas are not protected, and superstar mode is so limited I doubt it bears any resemblance to this guy's alleged game. I look for this to be dismissed.
                  Quit making your stupid YouTube videos and start playing the game.

                    Same here.

                    Even if this does somehow get to court, this guy stands little to no chance. The type of lawyers this guy can hire are like ants to the EA lawyers. They'll just crush them.

                    Not to mention that this guy better be loaded because he's going to pay out the butt if this gets drawn out.

                      Yeah your right, bnut it just shows how EA can't make up and think about there own featues in games, they have to steal others. Thats real lame on EA's part.

                          Although I agree this looks bad, it's hard to say they steal ALL their ideas from everyone else. What about their meter pitching and fielding system in MVP? And their freestyle control in the NBA Live series? If I'm not mistaken, I do believe that those are ideas that OTHER publishers haven taken from EA.

                          At any rate, this still doesn't look good. And I suppose you could refute my argument by saying maybe EA stole THOSE ideas from some unanimous unnamed publishers as well...

                              I've wanted superstar mode for about six years now, maybe I should sue too.

                              I'll be sure to sue whoever makes first person basketball mode as well, as it is my idea.
