Per EA's Terms & Conditions below, EA has the right to reproduce and profit from your creation without even acknowledging you, muchless paying you for it.
This is particularly disturbing for those of us interested in creating historic teams that take numerous hours of researching hard to find depth charts, rosters, video footage, etc.
Through the years, EA did a lousy job with historic teams that had starters out of position, wildly incorrect rosters and skill. Eventually EA did away with including historic teams.
Now it appears they have found a way for us to do their work for them, without them having to acknowledge us or pay for it, and all the while paying them our annual $60 for a game that once again needs patches before it hits the shelves.
