jbru119 Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 So, I'm sitting at home on this beautiful weekend with a knee injury, decided to dust off the PS3 & play some NCAA Football. I was thinking, with all the trickiness involved in the licensing situation with the NCAA & student athletes, I wonder if EA could just support the current title with new uniforms, stadiums & schedules? Of course, the Teambuilder website should rec'v support as well. Better yet, bring on NCAA 17. It's not like EA can't produce rosters to reflect a school's current strength without ripping off student-athletes likenesses. It's not like we all don't immediately go online to d/l an updated roster file anyway. What would it matter how authentic the initial roster file is? EA Sports, please bring back NCAA Football. Also, please make it for PS3, so I don't have to buy a $400 gaming system to play one game. (Literally, the only game I own for PS3 & previously PS2 is NCAA Football) Just some thoughts on a super-boring Sunday afternoon on the couch...

TheRicSlick Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 Yeah, at this point NCAA 17 on 360/PS3 would be a glorified version of NCAA 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be totally happy with an updated version of 14. The gameplay and graphics are pretty good. I'd pay $20 or $30 for an update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 I thought somewhat recently that you could have a pretty entertaining college football game, even if everything were completely anonymous regarding the players. The problem, I figured, is that EA wouldn't want to put in the effort unless they could get $60 from people every year for updated rosters and minor feature upgrades. Not having current players in any recognizable way would destroy that model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJWalker45 Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Some schools would be available immediately because they are still attached to Collegiate Licensing. It's only about 20-30 teams though so there would be a lot of Ann Arbor State vs Columbus Tech matches if they tried to find a way to have all 129 (?) teams. They could do something similar to Pro Evolution Soccer which has all the major leagues but not necessarily all the big teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElwoodCuse Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 They can't make the game without paying the players. EA wants to do this, but the NCAA won't let them. And every single school/stadium/conference would be fake, like Bill Walsh for Super Nintendo/Genesis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
