NCAA College Football is DEAD!
"By now, most fans will have heard that EA's licensing agreement with the NCAA is set to expire and that we have agreed to part ways. I'm sure gamers are wondering what this means...
But that doesn't mean that EA Sports will no longer produce college football games!
This is simple: EA Sports will continue to develop and publish college football games, but we will no longer include the NCAA names and marks. Our relationship with the Collegiate Licensing Company is strong and we are already working on a new game for next generation consoles which will launch next year and feature the college teams, leagues and all the innovation fans expect from EA Sports...
It was announced today that NCAA will no longer allow EA to use their likeness and logo for any video games. This includes 2K, Tecmo, Sony, Microsoft or any other publisher for the foreseeable future.
What many gamers are unaware of is that each university, conference, division, and bowl game individually license their property to EA! This means that EA, through Collegiate Licensing Company, will still be able to bring college football to the market.
We took big creative strides with this year's college game and you’ll see much more in the future. We love college football and look forward to making more games for our fans."
Now if I can just stop hearing people complain about exclusivity with sports game I would be one happy gamer!
