When LSU has "RB #7" from New Orleans who is rated 99 it's not really a secret who that was.
Fournette's freshman season was 2014.
NCAA '14, the last game in the series, was based upon the 2013 season.

Every defensive starter (2013 season as basis) was overrated by at least 10 points each while the offensive players were a bit underrated.

What does that have to do with EA?

With a basketball career that didn't amount to much in the paycheck department, Ed had to do something for some cash. He joined the ambulance chasing society that is America.

I don't understand why they just didn't continue making the game without the player likenesses until they sort all that BS out.

You're a moron.
It's like me using your business or family name to make billions, then turning around and giving you a small kick back and saying we're even.
It is truly hilarious how Southern Republicans who claim to hate socialism...... seem okay with it when they aren't the ones sharing the wealth or losing out on current and future earnings.

Take your own advice.
The NCAA and the universities work as a collective system (community) which regulates and impedes the players from their earning potential they would achieve in a free market. The also redistribute the wealth generated by majors sports to lesser sports and even back to education.
That is literally socialism. Yet you ignorant hicks seem cool with it when it isn't your wealth beign redistributed or your earning potential getting severally limited.

he does have a lot of good points about compensating student-athletes for participating in their sports
How many sports make money outside of football?
How many more hours do football athletes put in compared to their counterparts, time they could be employed and earning money for themselves?
Yes football makes big money, it all goes to paying for other sports so they can field a team. Maybe 10 athletic departments are in the green, the rest still need and receive outside money to balance their budget after the football revenue. All this money isn't going into some owners pocket
So we are going to pay all athletes equally right, no matter the contribution or the sport? If you pay everyone good luck fielding as many sports. If you only pay football players watch great track guys (insert sport) sit the bench on a football scholly just to collect some extra money. Also how long until a stud workhorse running back gets a lawyer and complains about receiving the same compensation as the backup kicker? Does he have a legit point in terms of risk of future income?
There is a place for all that shite. The NFL. The NFL says you can't enter the draft until 3 yrs out of highschool not the NCAA. If you don't want to play for a compensation in scholarship and stipends go play in Canada, or another market if it exists. No one is stopping you
By the way, big highschools pull in a lot of money off of their football team, at 16-18 you can hold a job. Why should these kids be "working for free." You can get injured doing too risking a free college education. Where do you draw the line?
Answer: until someone is willing to pay you you are an amateur athlete. The NFL isn't willing to until 3yrs removed from highschool, but the CFL is. What law prevents you from signing with a CFL or Arena league team over signing letter of intent to an NCAA university?

Socialism is political and economic system of government you idiot.
While I disagree with how universities conduct business and how the NCAA regulates it in many ways, this is not socialism. Student athletes are not being taxed. They are electing to play sports for a free education. If good enough, they can elect not to attend college at all in many cases and still play professional sports. Football is currently the exception due to the physicality of the sport. Even the most talented 18 year old would get broken into pieces in the NFL. They require a couple of additional years of growing and strength training to be able to hold up in the NFL.
Regardless, they are still free to choose whether or not to play sports at a school to get a free education, coaching, exposure, and training that will likely increase his/her chances of success at the next level.
While the universities use money largely acquired from football and basketball to fund the other sports, they are not redistributing money that was taken from taxpayers by law and redistributing it to other individuals through government run programs or tax credits as is the case with socialism.

For someone so quick to hurl insults and criticize others, you sure do lack understanding. Your analogy is terrible, and your narrow comprehension is unfortunate.

Through the free market they chose what the NCAA offers in compensation. Free tution, semesterly stipends, elite coaching, and a large audience/platform to showcase their skills for future employers.
NFL decided they won't take players until 3yrs removed from highschool, but the CFL and Arena league will take them at 18. Why are they turning down CFL money (6 figures potentially) to sign an NCAA letter of intent? What law prevents them from bypassing the NCAA and marketing their skills however they see fit?

The education isn't "free" or much of an education. Neither is the food, room, or apparel. The only reason they are at school is because of the NCAA not wanting themselves or their schools to have to pay taxes, benefits, etc and there's no viable competition that pays the players market value. If there was the NCAA would be like the Ivy League schools
