"NCAA Football loyalists can expect to drop some dough next Tuesday when NCAA Football 10 hits shelves - on top of the sticker price that is.
The much hyped (deservedly so) TeamBuilder mode, a new addition to the series that allows players to design teams from the comfort of their web browser, will require players to pay a fee if they want to download more than 12 TeamBuilder teams from EA's server. Assuming the player purchases the game new."
Checks in the mail for NCAA student-athletes for likeness rights video game lawsuit settlement, firm seeking W-9 information from class members
I loved the way they did the high school to the NFL Draft between NCAA Football and Madden.
Today a U.S. court of appeals handed down a ruling in the high-profile case against Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: EA) and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) over the use of student-athletes’ likenesses in video games, gutting Electronic Arts’ claim that the practice is protected by the First Amendment.
Dirty EA is getting what was coming since they started blocking other publishers from putting out competitive sports games.
EA how about you stop having exclusive licenses and maybe youll shine in a better light.
Virtual Katz Writes: We are underway in the NCAA Tournament, kicking off tonight with the first round play-in games coming and going and the real fun is about to begin. What better way to celebrate the kick off of the greatest basketball of the year than to figure out why we haven’t had a way, as gamers, to pay homage to the hardwood classic. We, up until the 2011 season, had a yearly release from Electronic Arts, and up until 2008 had a competitor in a 2K series as well.
The main reson why I don't bother with anything other than the tournament is because of the low talent pool. All of the talent heads off to the NBA.. There a few exciting players in the ncaa now but how would developers know prior to the start of a season. I don't care to watch a team full of adequate to mediocre players year after year. The NBA should raise the age limit to 21...would force thses kids to learn the game and it would make for a better March tournament. ..and some might even get an education O.o
those "accelerators" are pretty stupid. just a way to make a quick buck off people's impatience, and takes away a skill from people who are good at recruiting. And i think that it should come with more than 12 slots from the get go. create-a-team was in Ncaa before, and honestly, team builder isn't such a big advancement over what it was before.
...just robbing more money from people.
It started with Tiger Woods (oh wait, NFS: Prostreet) and now Madden? Ugh, I feel bad for the people that have no skillz and have to buy their way to the top.
Thanks EA Sports for the free PS Home space! :)
