I don't like the solitary license either BTW though its their IP and no one can tell them what to do with it As for NCAA never in its existence has it had a quality game made by an opposing company anyway so I've always felt that was a waste of money by them. I also think outside of the freezes, which are unacceptable in any game, overall NCAA is an entertaining title. Now the one thing I AM worried about is the Keller lawsuit and the potential of editable/sharable rosters being removed due to EA losing the case. sent from parts unknown

Fair enough, I accept your take on the NFL. The NFL is a business and I guess the day the NCAA became more concerned about money, than enriching student athletes, the same could be said.

As for "NCAA never in its existence has it had a quality game made by an opposing company" that may be true. But with competition game developers are able to see what other companies do and adjust/replicate to new innovations. I imagine it only would of been a matter of time.

Look at the NBA 2k vs NBA live scenario. NBA 2K embarrassed Live to the point it got cancelled. However, because of that competition, I bet NBA Live/Elite comes back better than ever (if it gets released.)

Like you said, this has gotten off topic and we're back to the age old debate. I honestly don't even remember how this tangent originated, so I'm going to stop talking about it now.

LionsFanNJ and bkrich83, I am glad we were able to discuss this in a civil manner without anyone getting obnoxious. So for that, thank you.
