So taking away a beloved video game from millions (players included) is worth $1100

I think their point was having the video game and getting an amount similar to that to have their likeness on the game.

I mean, I think it is a valid point. None of us played NCAA with the generic names and players. All of us got the real rosters for it. Without the real rosters, the game is stupid. And the real rosters are the real players. So, without them, there is no game, and that seems to be some sort of tangible value. And EA knew that, which is why they continued to make it as easy as possible to "share rosters" and "edit players".

Just my two cents.
