@antpboy12 Those games you mentioned are professional leagues with professional players and player associations that allow likeness content in those games, legally. These are college players, and the reason why there wasn't a game for 11 years is because EA got sued for using players likeness without consent. That is why they had to pay 12,000 players to have them sign a license agreement to be used in this game. So, EA is not taking that risk to put the game out on PC for it to be modded in any way, for this specific reason, and probably others.
Why do you think we can't edit the real players in the game now? So, yeah... it's a legal reason. But, I agree with you that EA is horribly greedy and lazy. There's no doubt there.
