Operation Sports Forums - View Single Post - A Return of EA's NCAA Football? Don't hold your breath!

Take a look at the trends in sports games over the last couple of years. They're all moving in the Madden MUT and MLB The Show Diamond Dynasty direction. The game companies are placing their emphasis on these modes for financial reasons.

Gamers are dumping huge sums of money into the game to develop competitive rosters for online game play. There is no players association for ex-NCAA athletes, so logistically they can't use historical players likenesses in an NCAA football game.

Let's face it, EA isn't going to fund development of a new NCAA football game for one specific reason: the property isn't all that monetizable.
