Many on NCAA Team Blindsided, Then Escorted Out of the Building

Shame they can't release a generic college football game with the features they wanted to add this coming year. Let us create players, stadiums, conferences, teams, etc.

I really don't like that Idea because I mean we wouldn't actually start playing the game until like well who knows when

Plus People already gives guys headaches just editing rosters alone so I doubt anybody would want to do that

Oh yea, I'm suuuurrree that they planned to finally do what everyone had been begging for them to add for years.

"Oh, NCAA 15 was the one and we were really gonna try this time, but gee wiz now we can't!" - Right... this is just PR bs to save face and keep EA in a good light with it's fanbase. IMO - good riddance. The game had no direction, barely improved year to year, and offered zero customization or fun factor.

I have no doubt that they planned all of those things for the last half decade before it got axed due to resource allocation.

I think the only reason they were planning to make NCAA Football 15 fully customizable was because of this law suit probably. To little to late, but I do feel bad for the workers though, not their fault management didn't give them enough creative freedom. As for the game, it wasn't that good of a game anyway, it was just the only college football game. Hopefully another dev makes a college football game, or they come back in a few years and make it bigger and better than ever, or some of them get assigned to Madden to make that game better.

release it as dlc charge $20 if you want, just let me customize cpu coaches more, team tendencies and playcalling.....


enough excuses and close calls of next year non sense either release it or dont talk about it.

these were highly educated people they will survive, now they feel like how i felt when i play this product....

"Even on the upper end, if EA Sports paid the 85 players (really, just 55 are used in the game) on 126 different teams $350 each that's a $3.7 million licensing fee each year. Considering what a game with authentic players would return in additional sales, and that Madden has in some years paid more than $20 million to the NFL Players' Association for the rights to its players—that kind of money would have been no barrier to the production of a college football game. If only the NCAA had allowed it."

I think this actually might be good news, the quicker the NCAA changes their rules the quicker there will be an NCAA game

You actually think the NCAA will even consider changing its amateurism rules anytime soon?
Even if hypothetically the suit against the NCAA by O'Bannon and Co. forced them too somehow, it would drag on and on for many years.
