EA Sports announced a matchup between the Ohio State Buckeyes and Miami Hurricanes for the NCAA Football 11 demo yesterday with the promise of more details to come. Now they have announced the second matchup between in-state rivals Florida State Seminoles and the Florida Gators and the theme for the demo has become clear.
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.
going to fsu I have to cheer on my noles. Though florida has been pretty amazing lately.
Florida can suck my b@lls
