Are they planning on getting a contract with 2k or something?

refer to @MustafaSTL about Ed O'Bannon, it may not have anything to do with a gaming studio. O'Bannon has a class action lawsuit against the NCAA, basically trying to get players paid for using their image and likeness for commercial purposes.

I don't think it really applies to this since they never use the players names, pics, etc. in college games unlike when they sell memorabilia

It still applies, what your saying it what they're trying to argue against. Although they dont use the names and pics they're still using their "image" and "likeness", for example the jersey numbers, builds and athletic stats/features in the games are the same as their real life counterparts.




O'Bannon killed the joy of playing college basketball/football games on video game systems for millions of people.

Which one of yall edited O'Bannon's wikipedia :jaylol:

They aren't just not renewing the contract, they are barring EVERYONE from using NCAA teams n logos. Which means no more college football games indefinitely !:to:

A wrong can be written right again! Since neither can use the NCAA trademarks or other team names

Now EA Sports and 2K sports can compete directly with one another, on a level playing field. That is if either decide to create a generic college game.

If they decided to use a teambuilder type function where you can still upload logos of real colleges you might end up having a fully customizable game. If they (EA and 2K) limit the number of teams on the disk and allow users to download teams via some type of teambuilder exchange. You can have custom teams, bowls, stadiums, and play-offs.

They can now do things that maybe the couldn't do with the NCAA license. You can have a player suspended for controversial things like bad comments via social media, or getting involved in illegal activities, and have teams be put on probation for illegal recruiting practices.

This can be a good thing if one or both companies decide to produce a game like this. However, it can be bad if they remain idle and let fans of College Football and Basketball suffer.

2k didnt want to make college basketball games because they wasnt profitable, will they make same decision with football IF they decide to enter it.
