Why can't they figure a way to create a new College Football video game?

[belcherboy]

I always LOVED playing the newest version of EA Sports NCAA Football. After the lawsuit, they killed the series. Why can't they figure a way out to create a new one? The amount of money that the game created should be enough to figure a way to compensate the players for their likeness, even if those players didn't receive the money till their eligibility is up.

On a side note, I use to always work my way up the coaching ladder to get a job with Ohio State. I would then put the kicker in at QB, and change most key positions to lesser players. I would kill their recruiting and record for 3 years and get fired. They often would never recover. I even got them kicked out of the B1G once.

my video game experience has not been the same without NCAA football...I have been in video game purgatory for the past 2 years without it.

Its awful..

they need to bring it back. I will gladly accept all teams with rosters compiled with 5'8 150 lb players, I will just edit them.

Anything they gotta do to bring this game back...please.

This x1000...I used to play much more and I'd kick it off with NCAA Football in July and that could get me through to the new Call of Duty of whatever. But now I don't even play COD.

Just download the updated rosters for your copy of NCAA 2014.

EA Sports said Thursday that it is discontinuing its long-running NCAA Football franchise for at least a year as a result of ongoing litigation with student-athletes who are suing the NCAA, the video game maker, and others to receive a cut of the money made from their efforts on the field.

That case has been settled, but the NCAA refused to license anything to EA as I recall.

It's to bad, I remember those games, never had 1 when I played video games but it'd be nice to see them brought back.

I'd even take the PSN allowing us to download ncaa 14 just so we can play it on the new consoles...I think I played it on my 360 so much, my 360 is about to burn out...I don't feel like hooking it up anymore
