You do know the reason we havent had a CFB game in 11 years is because you could change things about real players right?
- @ILove_Laederal No it's not.
Did you ever play the previous college football games from previous years when you compare those to college football? 25, there's no comparison. They were much better
- @Bjkam1208 It literally is, EA was sued because they weren’t paying players for their likeness and allowing people playing the game to edit the real life players however they liked. The NCAA doesn’t have the players union like the NFL, EA cant just put real life people into the game without compensating them someway, which they are doing now. You can dislike the game for gameplay reasons but saying you don’t like it because you can’t change a real persons overall or likeness is BS
- @ILove_Laederal No the issue was EA was very obviously making the players themselves and using it to sell the game without compensating the players. It had nothing to do with people editing the rosters after the fact. I have no idea where people have convinced themselves it was players editing their own rosters
If that was the case why isn’t 2k being sued every year for fans creating college draft classes with real players….. or MLB the show doing the same thing? It is 100 percent because EA created the exact likeness of every player and just made them QB#11, HB#4, WR#2, etc. Again, if this was the case road to glory this year would also cause them to be sued. We can create any future high school kid or even college player who opted out… this defense of EA putting out a crap product is getting old. They are completely off the hook when users do the editing. If they are that worried keep it where we can’t upload rosters for download. Make online dynasty uneditable. No one is going to know what I do or don’t do in my offline dynasty. Regardless those precautions aren’t needed but if we have start there then do it.

I didn't buy the game, instead my friend did. No real editing, issues with missing stuff from classic games, lack of the vibe of college football, but the biggest part is the broken gameplay that really turned us both off. Offense is good, better then Madden over years, yet the defense is worse. In several games the defense either worked based on the animations of the game or just no logic in responds to a play. Noticed at times faster players were getting beat by slower players. Like some, having a rb with 97 speed chased down by a Dt with 55 speed. but the key for both of us the swift from the modes...lack of real classic RoG and Dy instead put into UT which was one of the key issues with Madden; its stuff like this caused Franchise to be abandon by EA. So I wasn't disappointed, just not surprised by the hype that fell flat.
Are you dense? 2k doesn’t make a college basketball game allowing people playing to edit the college players, you can make them in 2k or madden without issues because there is nothing they can do about it.
- @ILove_Laederal They used to and you could and it only doesn't exist because it didn't sell very well. But your logic still fails since Madden should be sued for creating college kids and this has never once happened between the 11 years an NCAA game didn't exist. What difference is the likeness in an NCAA based game vs an NFL one? The answer of course is they can't hold EA liable for the user making changes and still can't now
I have to admit that I find the editing numbers/ratings issue being the most complained about thing to be quite confusing to me. If EA made it so we could do that, it still wouldnt be a good game. The on field experience sucks that much. No audibles saving, tap and tap kicking, formation subs, cant hot route out of play action, the scoreboard still disappears during super sim sometimes...yet I constantly see editing ratings as the number one complaint. Am I just missing something here?
- @ILove_Laederal The reason EA stated they did not release NCAA Football 15 or any subsequent titles was because the NCAA would not allow EA to pay the players. That's why when NIL legislation was passed in California everyone knew all other states would follow suit forcing the NCAA's hand. EA announced in February of 2021 that they would make a new college football game after all states had written laws that allowed college athletes to be compensated for their name, image, & likeness.
All people have to do is read. The lawsuit had nothing to do with players jersey number being changed nor their virtual abilities being adjusted by users nor. The lawsuit and settlement was caused by EA knowingly using the players likenesses without their agreement and/or permission for purposes to generate revenue.
Reading still is fundamental.
