Sort of OT: EA Sports Relinquishes Exclusive NCAA Football Rights

CBS story

Not technically uniform related but EA has "agreed" to not renew the exclusive license for 5 years as part of a settlement of a lawsuit. I know many on here are interested in EA's shortcomings at rendering uniforms or giving people more creative control over fantasy/dynasty uniform design so I thought this might be of interest...

I don't understand the legality of how people had a right to have a game produced by other companies or why what EA did was illegal, but whatever. As long as EA keeps making NCAA games along with another company, I will be happy. I will be ticked if EA completely stops making NCAA.

From what I've heard is that EA will keep making the game But also rumors are that Sony also could very well make a PS3 one but another rumor is that another developer altogether will make a game

I wish EA would make any kind of baseball again.....Curse you 2kSports

I'm content with The Show. Sucks for anyone that doesn't have a PS3 though.

Story B: Red Wings go undefeated and score 100 goals in every game. They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

There are many things for which anti-trust laws make sense, food, utilities, transportation. However, it's silly to think that people have the right to own a video game at a price they want to pay. The NCAA has rights to its intellectual property. EA purchased those rights. I don't get it.

I'm thinking this is their way of avoiding having to pay the old NFLers who want reimbursed. It's a separate issue but I'm sure they will try to tie them together to avoid a suit.
