    I kinda doubt it honestly. I never played 2k5, but I doubt they could just port it from the PS1/XBox to the 4/XB1. Plus, they probably don't even have a crew to work on a football game right now. They'd need several years, I think, to get back up to par.

        Stunned. Guess NCAA14 is the last of its kind. A good one at least.

            Does anyone know a realistic time frame for the O'Bannon suit to reach a resolution?

              Yeah, I think people are getting tunnel vision on ".....NCAA series is Dead......." and ignoring everything else

                Most news headlines I am reading either say or imply this is the last EA Sports college football game due to this decision. Reporters often get things wrong.

                  O'Bannon & Keller are prime examples of guys who couldn't cut it in life and now want someone else to pay.

                    Perhaps you shouldn't ask this type of question on a video game website. Maybe a law forum. :wink:

                      Its funny that NCAA is jumping out and saying they are moving away from EA by not renewing their deal, yet http://www.gamespot.com/news/ea-agre...sivity-6388207 this happened last year. EA already agreed to let their exclusive license lapse after 2014 for at least 5 years anyway. Sure NCAA isn't giving any license, but its because they are trying to separate themselves and say look what we did in court. I doubt it will work since its been going on for too many years now.

                        A logical business decision by the NCAA and it does seem to me that a court decision is leaning towards the players based on this news. This is gonna change a lot of things. Guys are gonna start going after that big TV money next. This is just the beginning IMO.

                          Glad to see that we are still going to have a college football game next year. EA is actually the big winner here. NCAA 14 sales are going to go up, and they will have more creativity from now on.

                            Guys like them make me sick! That's why it's hard for me to watch parts of the Fab Five documentary where Jalen Rose whines about not getting paid while at Michigan (well, legally anyway). You guys did get paid!!! You got a FREE education!!! Not to mention, that was in a time where you could have went straight to the pros if you wanted to get paid cash to play! And, before someone says I don't understand what it's like to be in their shoes. Yes, I do! I was an NCAA D1 athlete!!!

                            No matter how you view it, college sports is an investment that is in the athlete's favor! If you're not going pro, you're getting a FREE education if you were good enough to get a scholarship. That means you're technically getting paid between $5,000 - $50,000 per year depending on where you go to school (I'm sure there are some lower or higher). If you are going pro, you're expanding your brand and gaining an entire college fan base that will follow you in the pros. You think RGIII would be the NFL's darling if we didn't fall in love with him at Baylor and they didn't market the Hell out of him???

                            I'll stop there because I'm starting to drift off topic. I'll save that rant for another day. Point is it's people like O'Bannon that take something good that only helped make them famous & try to sabotage it.

                                Suing a video game. I won't defend that way of thinking. Get a job and let the world play video games.
