Will there ever be another NCAA game?

[jbunting40]

I don't know if there has been any discussion on this, haven't been on this forum in a long time. But does anyone think there will be another game made anytime soon? I was just thinking with the new system and how great madden plays and looks on it, the playoff system, conference realignment, and new jerseys. A new game would sell so great and to have just one on Xbox One/PS4 would be great. Another thing i was thinking about the other day they could add for recruiting would be juco players/a select few early HS graduates that could come in and be apart of your training in the off-season. Just think a HS player that was a 75 coming in and training bumping up to 79 or a JUCO Jr that is a 80 coming in at an 85 or so. Game changer right there!

Don't really know. We all hope there is. I'm hoping for one by the time I graduate college. In all honesty though, I kinda doubt it. I feel players would need to be paid, and that probably won't ever happen. Its a real shame that some 50 year old who no one even really knows (O'Bannon) had to ruin this, because I know the college athletes themselves loved it. It's really cool for a dude at Tulane who will never play in the NFL, be able to use himself in a video game. And I feel college athletes don't even care about making $1 million a year, probably just like $500-$1000, or just some money so they can go out to a movie once a month.

I see stuff like this all the time, but O'Bannon isn't to blame here. EA is to blame for knowingly breaking the rules.

And this is coming from someone whose 2nd favorite game franchise of all time is NCAA Football (College Hoops 2K is #1) and who'll probably never buy a XB1 solely because there is no NCAA on it.

Exactly would there be any outcry if it was a guy that made the league and then washed out in 2 years?

Re: Will there ever be another NCAA game?

I agree with Jello. Ed O'Bannon should've taken legal action. You can't just use someone's likeness and never compensate them for it.
