Yeah, the reason I say this is if you could look back at my old posts I was always saying the game had to have real player names. HAD TO!

But at this point I'm just happy to have the game back. I mean I do want names and likenesses but like others have said, just sim a few years and it doesn't matter anyways.

And unlike before, EA can always roll out updates. Them signing everyone by such and such a date is just what the game will ship with is all. EA knows this and will use it as leverage...

"Hey we hope you sign, but if not the game will go forward without you" is the right attitude for them to take.
Now next year and year after, once we are "spoiled" by having a college football game, maybe not so much.

But right now people just want the darned game and I think EA knows this.
