    Dude it's the spoons. That's why people are fat. Have you ever seen someone eat soup or ice cream? They're using a spoon!!

    Ban spoons and people won't get fat anymore. It's not that difficult to figure out..

      You got me there. I can't argue with common sense.

        Depends what qualifies as a good thing. It's nothing until appeals are done, and even then could still be bad for college video games as we knew them. Too early to tell.

          Paying players may or may not be good for college sports but is likely a really good thing for video games based on college sports...

                I'd like to see it but I don't see it happening because there is no union representing college athletes and trying to get every athlete on every team to sign an agreement would be very difficult.

                  That's why you simply give the current athletes an option, which most will sign and all new athletes either sign it or don't get a scholarship

                    This doesnt really make sense.

                    The customization aspect had nothing to do with the ruling against them.

                      I agree, they never had issue with those options, just the rosters EA shipped

                        If only EA would have just made generic rosters to begin with, then we wouldn't have this mess. Personally, having generic rosters wouldn't have swayed me away from buying the game. Nor do I think it would have swayed most others from buying the game either. The legal team and upper management just didn't do their due diligence in recognizing this was a lawsuit waiting to happen. Oh well... now we just hope that 5 to 10 years from now the series will be rebooted but it just looks doubtful now. However, if there is money to be made, you bet the NCAA and EA will find a way

                          I'm optimistic the games will return sooner rather than later, your last sentence was spot on, way too much money here for them to not work towards making it happen asap

                            Who was the first to bring up that their likeness was being exploited? I'm sure if it was a player they've played NCAA coming up as a gamer in high school. It wasn't a problem then why should it be one now?

                              As far back as the Sega Genesis, I do recall getting a college game that didn't have the names of course, but they did have the numbers and other characteristics of certain players. And I remember thinking "Hmmm...can they do this? I guess they can??".
