"As I was playing NCAA 2010 today with the anticipation for NCAA 2011 building up, I got to thinking a couple things; July cannot come soon enough, and how can this great game be even better. I love how they made the recruiting elements of the game much more realistic and have added an in-season recruiting option. And I got to thinking what if EA teamed up with either Rivals or Scout to make the recruiting completely realistic?"
It's been six years since EA Sports cancelled NCAA Football, but now it's time for the storied franchise to make a comeback.
"It’s apparent to us that the NCAA’s decision to end its long and hugely profitable relationship with EA is tied directly to the pressure our litigation is bringing to bear."
They can still make a college football game with individual licences from the Schools. Although it will be hard to sell as the player likenesses will have to be extremely generic
Hope NFL follows in their footsteps, anyone know when that licensing agreement runs out? I would love some competition from other studios. Especially from Sony like how they rule with The Show. Sony hockey game sounds good too, mmmm
Online support for a number of 2010 EA Sports titles is set to end next month.
NBA Jam ? w00t 0_o Thankfully I don't buy any sports games. I hope they are talking about NBA Jam disc based version not the On fire downloadable one
"The decision to retire older EA titles is never easy." That's also what they said when they shut down the servers for BF2: MC.
I think maybe with the release of pay for your own server on BF3 this is what EA might continue to use for all games giving an option for people who want to play it online.
I'm so sick of EA and all the BS, i'm sick of a lot of publishers anymore.
I would love to see this happen!
I wish I knew more about American Football :(
It's such a tiny niche sport here in the UK.
NCAA is such a great game, this would just put it over the top.
Has EA hinted at adding such features, or is this just a wish list at this point?
I think that NCAA football games are already better than Madden, a lot more exciting to play that's for sure.
