Who the heck is Same Keller anyway
I actually think thats BS. Thats the same BS argument the NCAA uses when selling jerseys. "Yes we know its a Florida jersey with the number 15 but we arent selling Tim Tebow's jersey". The fact is when you are playing NCAA 12 with Michigan's QB #16.....you know you are playing with Denard Robinson. EA knows you are playing with Robinson. Same with the NCAA. Its his likeness being used.

EA could have gotten around this but completely randomizing the numbers and likenesses. Make Andrew Luck black and with a different number but give people the option of changing skin color and numbers.

Whats funny is a colleague of mine is one of EA's attorneys on this case.
