More Legal Trouble for EA (NCAA related)

[GTheorenHobbes]

Kind've hard not to see this one coming. Depending on what happens, this could spell BIG trouble for EA and NCAA (the game), or at least the ability to edit its players:

Prick and douche were the first two adjectives that came to my mind as well. The guy couldn't hack it playing football so now his choices are get a real job or sue so he doesn't have to work.

Oh yeah, wasn't Carpenter younger and given the team's endorsement over Keller. This tells you what type of c.u.n.t. keller is.

What an a-hole. We should all find him and beat his lame @$$ silly.

So it rankled Keller to note that "with rare exception, virtually every real-life Division I football or basketball player in the NCAA has a corresponding player in Electronic Arts' games with the same jersey number, and virtually identical height, weight, build and home state. In addition Electronic Arts often matches the player's, skin tone, hair color, and often even a player's hair style." In other words, the complaint contends it was no coincidence that, say, Kent State running back Eugene Jarvis is redshirt junior from Pennsylvania wearing No. 6 who stands just 5-foot-5 and weighs 170 pounds -- and the "randomly generated" Kent State RB in EA's NCAA 2009 game also happens to be a redshirt junior from Pennsylvania wearing No. 6 and standing 5-foot-5 and weighing 170 pounds (who also has the same dark skin tone as Jarvis).

Well, duh of course they're "alike"...This is a lame attempt at Keller trying to get some money he could've gotten in the NFL if he actually performed @ ASU/Neb. Also makes a lot more sense why he transferred as well but that's beside the point.

Hahaha this guy makes me laugh. What a tool.

This dude's lawyer VS EA's lawyers...

Riiiiiight. Good luck with that.
