    Updated the OP, as the official Twitter feed has posted a couple of tweets.

      Why does ea give two craps about the game tonight? Must be something in the works? There is no ncaa anymore it might be called "not professional football"

                People are being way too naive here.

                Guess what? That post did not have a caption originally. They edited it after it blew up. It was just the video. EA releasing 3 "statements" frantically, essentially confirms that something is coming.

                Why would an account that has been silent for nearly two years post about a game tonight that's not even the first playoff championship game?

                Newsflash: million dollar companies lie all the time. This is a case of damage control.

                It may not be next year, but a new game is coming. I wouldn't be surprised if this was to draw extra eyes to the game tonight in case they air some kind of ad for it.
                EA is not a company known for subterfuge, they have shareholders to answer to. When EA announces something, no matter how minimal, they go big and they go loud.

                This is the same company that went to CES last year and announced a pricing plan while other studios were unveiling heavily anticipated titles. If/when they announce a new NCAA game, they will not be subtle about it.

                  I really.. Really hope they realize how pathetic that was to post that. Until we see an official release, no need to even speculate what's next.

                      Still so weird. Who at EA is all of a sudden deciding to man the NCAA 14 social media account after two years, an expired license (upon the date of said license expiry EA stopped updating the account), and legal drama? And then put up a video to signify the "heartbeat that still beats" in the game's community for college football or whatever?

                      Probably the oddest thing EA has done from a PR standpoint.

                      If that heartbeat appears tonight during the game it would make a lot more sense, but the denial is pretty firm.

                        My guess is that it was a rogue troll within the company. If the entire organization orchestrated this lame maneuver, then they deserve all the hate and criticism they get. It's beyond bush league and their backpedaling response is ridiculous.

                          Yeah, I think it's fishy. Not necessarily meaning they intend to release a new title or anything, but something stupid happened behind the scenes. EA does not have an NCAA product, and do not currently support any NCAA branded products, why have someone company time working the social media angle for a property they don't even support?

                            if anyone thinks this was an honest mistake you are dead wrong, if they lost all rights, and have a gag order etc. why even post, why not just post on the EA sports page, or the twitter page.

                            Something has happened, something has changed, something or someone out there has finally said, "We can do a game again." Probably tons of things to go through, but the ribbon has been cut. some BS twitter cover up saying this does not mean we have anything to announce, is pretty strait forward cover up.

                              Totally agree. That edited excuse was an insult to our common sense. The heart beat was a direct indication that something has changed.
