    The Hope for NCAA Video Games in the Immediate Future is Dim (Podcast)


    Things definitely look a bit dimmer after the NCAA convention, with any action on licensing of college player likenesses or apparel not seeing any movement during the yearly landmark meeting. I wrote an article on the possibility of new legislation making it possible for college sports games to make a return, but that simply didn't happen. We did see small hints that such a model will be viable in the future, but there are no signs an immediate return in the next 18 months is coming. Coming out of the meeting was landmark four year scholarships and full cost of attendance scholarships -- but no movement on the licensing of player likenesses.

    While a future NCAA meeting will likely discuss this issue, thanks to the 'resolution to modernize the collegiate athletics model', until ongoing litigation is dealt with, there likely won't be any real movement.

      I knew they should have put the playoffs in 14, this is going to drag a few years.

      Good thing is if those ratings hold and grow even just a tad, I have no doubt by the end of the decade we will have a new game.
      Games I'm playing FOREVER: NFL2K5, That is all.

          Such a bummer, just a few years back there was serious talk of adding NCAA to the NHL Series. Not a chance now.

              I know we are at a point with little hope, but I want so badly to believe that the playoff system will somehow wake the guys with the decision in their hands that they are missing out on major profit by not putting out these games.

                    i'm surprised they didn't do that when they were allowed.

                        Wack, if they can make Mutant League Football, and Baseball Allstars, then they can make an indie College game. Hate to play the conspiracy label, but it had to be one that they aren't making these games. If a game is good it sells, and after all of this wait, people will buy.

                          Its really frustrating how slowly this process is moving, and how the video game issue isnt even being discussed at all.

                              This is where Madden needs to come in play. I would recommend that they integrate NCAA Football into Madden and here is how it is should go down. The idea would be that when you play career as a player or coach, you would start out in college and all the models are randomly generated (too avoid lawsuits), but fully editable like in NCAA Football games. You will only have up to 4 years and then head to the draft as a player or get offers as a coach, then you would progress into Madden.

                              There is no real need to make a NCAA Football game anymore because adding some features in Madden where draft classes and created players can still transfer into the Madden Game and you will have at least 4 seasons of college football, so it will be enough of filler until they work out all the legal stuff. It would keep the game going and greatly enhance Madden. The idea is raw, but I think it would be great to integrate the games.
