EA Sports Will Not Publish College Football Game Next Year, Future Plans in Doubt

Re: EA Sports Will Not Publish College Football Game Next Year, Future Plans in Doubt

Why do people think college athletes should get paid? They are paid, by their scholarships and everything that comes with it.
The benefits they receive are worth over double the amount of minimum wage. And if they don't go pro, they are getting a free education in what ever field they choose. They aren't saddled with student loans, ect. They can complain all they want they are getting a ton for these scholarships. It's they fault they don't take full advantage of their education.
If I make my company a couple more million a year, they aren't giving me any of it, they are paying me to do my job. Same goes with college athletes, they are getting paid in form of an education.

Because the scholarship argument is a crock of ****, AND the NCAA prohibits them from seeking pretty much any sort of employment.

Ignoring the cost of education, the vast majority of these players wouldn't be able to get into colleges if it weren't for football, and they probably shouldn't anyway. We don't need thousands of new communications undergrads every year. It doesn't help them, and it doesn't help the country in general. The scholarships are utterly worthless in many cases.

There is no free market here. If you feel your company isn't compensating you enough for what you generate, you can find employment in the same field for a better deal. College athletes can't do that. Hell, college athletes can't even get the second job you can get.

The issue here isn't so much that the NCAA or schools aren't paying the players, it's that the NCAA is actively prohibiting the players from being paid by anyone for anything.

Well to be fair guys have been editing stuff with rosters and certain settings in tuners for the past two editions now.

Yeah, thats what keeps giving me hope.

Well I think people would need the source code and that you can't get off the disc if I have heard correctly...if we got the source code, probably could be done

That i was not aware of.

Servers for OD are expected to stay up through college football season, and will likely be coming down in January. After January, no more online dynasty.

Is there a source for this? My biggest concern was this, as my dynasty is an OD, single person however. If this is a fact, i cant really see proceeding much further with it, and if i have the interest i might just be as well off starting a new one.

There re is no possibility of converting to offline now is there?

You're posting this as if it's fact. Where's a link with proof?

Because their free housing, food, education, etc is just sooooo bad

what does that have to do with creating a development league? you act like a free education means something to high caliber players. they don't go to school for the same reason as regular students. just pay them $50-$75K a year let them set up their own living arraignments, offer them free food during the season just like the nfl.

I've always been a proponent of players not being paid. However, I think I've finally seen the light, but with one caveat.

Pay the players, but if they get caught and it's proven that they took 1 cent from an booster or agent, then they have to pay back the entire cost of their scholarship.

That seems completely fair to me.

If they want to waste their free education, that's their own fault. Not the NCAA's.

Which is besides the free housing, food, clothing, and everything else that comes with the scholarship.

But hey, if the scholarship is so worthless, why hand them out. Let them have a job let them pay their own way through college like the vast majority of us. Then we'll see how "worthless" those scholarships are.

These kids have two options when they graduate. Either they will make a ton of money playing sports professionally, or they will enter the job market, debt free, with a valuable college degree in hand.

I think the online servers will stay up until at least EA's UFC game comes out.

Pay the players and stop all scholarships. They should not have everything just given to them.

I hope this means they'll focus on supporting 14 for a good while, like that thread about a playoffs DLC, continued uniform updates, patches, etc.

Cause I gotta wonder if this means the opposite: they're not gonna spend any more time on this game, short of keeping the servers running.

They shouldnt be complaining. They get enough as it is. That was my point.

Football isnt like baseball or even basketball. A kid just out of high school is most likely going to get seriously hurt, even at a minor league level. As an example, remember, not all MLB minor leaguers are guys in their early twenties. You're going to be sticking kids against fully grown men. It wont end well.

Once a decision like this has been made public I'd expect nothing.

you are killing your own argument here. yeah lets take away scholarships and let them have a job...playing in a developmental football league ha.

regular students get an education because that is how we are going to make money. hig caliber players go to school because they want to hone their football skills to make money. the education thing doesnt mean the same. hell, your argument makes it seem like they should get rid of academic scholarships too...arent those an unfair advantage really smart students have over others?

Given the choice, I would have much preferred this happen to Madden than NCAA series from EA Sports.

Plus they have the opportunities to become millionaires debt free out of school while other students are stuck with debt.

manziel's $25K scholarship over 4 years enough compared to the millions he brought into A&M?

simple solution to your example, put an age cap on the development league.
