What can we do to get EA make another NCAA game?

There is supposedly a non-EA game in the works. They are working on licensing, so none of the schools or players are accurate. Dunno how I feel about it, but I did enjoy the NCAA series.

The NCAA will never agree to pay the players, you can toss that idea out the window.

EA could always make an NCAA game with fictional conferences and universities and allow modifications for everything, probably wouldn't sell that well playing as the Louisiana A&M Wildcats instead of LSU for example.

The new game I referenced is doing this essentially. It's college, but no proper schools or mascots or players.

This has been in the works for years and will never happen. There was a game released a few years ago that allows you to create your own teams but the game is horrible. No company with adequate funding to create a legit game is going to make another NCAA game.

yeah the read option in that game is way too good. Even when you try and manually defend its hard. Because your player gets sucked into an animation

---

yeah I actually finally bought the last NCAA game and they went too far to make defense more difficult. Pass defense is almost impossible, the read option defense is BS as mentioned, and the QB escaping the pocket even when you have guys spying on the QB is too difficult to defend. It just feels like there a lag overall on offense and defense in terms of the players responding to what you're getting them to do. Animation is better but gameplay is worse

I believe the NCAA told EA they could no longer use them. So EA cannot make a game with real teams.

You have that non-talented douchebag Sam Keller to thank for all of this.

The way I understand it, EA could make a game but would have to get licensing from each individual school and couldn't use anything that was licensed just by the NCAA. Regardless, obtaining licensing from each school individually would not be cost effective for any company trying to produce a game.

They seem really high on this "Mississippi A&M" team.

I bet they are a handful IRL.

Let's take all the rules and the dice from Dungeons and Dragons and turn it into a board game for college football. That can be the offseason time killer.

I don't care at all if the players in the game look like actual people, but it would be nice (or is necessary) for actual player stats to be used for individual ratings of players in the game.

They never did look like the actual players, many black guys were white and vise versa. I specifically remember Marquis Maze having dreads down to his butt but he was bald in real life
