It will for legal reasons. Even if the randomized non licensed players look or have a number resembling the real life counterpart- they’re done.

Let’s see how it works out for “Player X” or 5 other guys when it’s leaked that they are the ones holding out. It won’t go over well, especially if it’s a big time guy who is already receiving large sums of $$ in other NIL deals. They’re missing the forest for the trees. It’s a great opportunity to expand their brand and those that decide either to hold out for more $ or not to participate are going to regret it IMO.

Yes. Extremely short sited.

NCAA Football Video Game Is Worth Over $75,000 Per Year For Top Teams
75k per school. That's 882 dollars for 85 kids. Throw in the coaches, and a cut for the school itself and 500 is pretty reasonable per player.

Total revenue from NCAA 14 was 125 million.
How Much Did Schools Make from EA Sports's NCAA Football Previously?.
Even if you just take the 65 power 5 schools, 85 scholarship players you are talking almost 3 million. And that 125 was total revenue, not profit. So even 3 million is a healthy chunk of their profits.

FWIW 500 was what the class action lawsuits paid out.

NCAA 14 was before microtransactions. This game will probably generate close to a billion a year.

Unforunately, because I hate micro transactions, that's how I would handle it if I was EA. Give the players and schools some base small amount. Release the game with El Generico players for everyone. And make every team a microtransaction. And then split that money "fairly" with the school/players. Maybe you have some deal for conferences to buy in bulk.

If it was me I'd just make deals with schools for stadiums, fight songs, jerseys, and make players random generated size/numbers/ect. If people want to edit stuff on their own that's up to them. For me, I never edited anything when starting a new dynasty. I just looked at my rosters as the players with no names were likely going to be recruited over.

I'd think trying to make deals with 1000s of players that aren't unified under any players association is going to be near impossible.

These douchers Facinelli and Stahl just got ripped on XM 84 on Childers and Neuheisel’s show. I hope everyone makes their lives and anyone that advocates their little mission to boycott the game absolute hell.

I honestly would have no problem if they decided to throw in something on the back-end of this game for the players if it sells X number of units. I stand by my idea of EA providing a PS5 or XBOX for any player that wants it, plus a copy of the game…or a exact monetary payout for the platform and a copy of the game.

they were going to do this in 2014-15, schools said no due to lawsuits.

Like I said, this game is never coming out.

In 2014-2015 there was still a lot of unknown. We've had court rulings now on NIL and there are paths now where players can be paid.

Working a deal with schools or conferences is one thing. But the 1000s of players is the hurdle imo. Even if they tried working with NIL companies, I think that would be significantly difficult and wouldn't solve the problem. Especially when different states have different rules.

Is having actual players name that big of a deal?

To me as long as you have the actual stadiums, school names, logos and colors then I'm good.

Once you play dynasty mode then your going to have fictional players immediately once you start recruiting.

If it wasn’t a big deal, they wouldn’t have been sued and the series canceled in 2013.

I honestly don’t give a **** if there are player likeness in this game or not. The old NCAA games never had any anyways, it was pure BS claims that they did. They always had generic looks with just the number of the player. You had to edit everything.

I’d be fine if EA reverses course and says no player likeness in the game. I will 100% still buy if players choose to not be in it. Not sure the “boycott” noise actually represents most of the players though. If it does, leave ‘‘em out…

Best thing about NCAA Football was building a program and bettering your favorite program. Dont really care a lot about likeness and would be 100% ok with them just having a stock roster with ratings similiar to the real life players to start out.

I like having realistic roster for online, but these days I find myself playing less and less online.
For dynasty I could care less within a couple years it's computer generated players. I hardly ever use schools where I know any of the players anyways, taking the Idaho Vandals to the promise land is more fun than starting with a 4 or 5 star school.

Sounds like a group upset that they aren’t getting a cut of the revenue, not a big deal IMO.

It seems like they're trying to ruin it for everyone because EA decided to work with a different group

I would bet 99% of players would be happy with nothing more than a copy of the game. I'm just waiting for once the game does come out some lawyer to sue because a replacement for a player that opts out throws the ball with the same hand or something similar
