Until 2014 EA annually pumped out a NCAA football game. In these games to protect "ameturism" no names could be used but they would use accurate numbers, physical likeness, and apporitate skill levels.

EA benefited off the backs of unpaid college athletes that fell victim to an archaic system that benefits the power institutions dispropritianlty compared to the athletes necessary to drive this system who take all of the physical risk.

Sounds like us and our government.

It also gave the option to change the names of the players. The announcers recorded every ncaa players name so boom. Rename and they read aloud.

Correct, so many of the players names you could actually hear the announcer say. Although this was just for more common names, I don't believe they recorded and added less common names as that would be too obvious. Please let me know if I'm wrong.

NCAA I.S to blame here. Not EA

NCAA is lackey to the NFL and exploites young adults no doubt. Does not change that EA made money off these kids as well.

The biggest tragedy of this is they no longer make NCAA football games. Games were wonderful.

good job. sports games hit home for the smaller fish than people aggrieved by the more major and serious destructions of gaming history EA has caused. sports and battlefront are more mainstream loved series...

but EAs destroyed so much more. from Bethesda, to origin and bullfrog. EA taking part in things has hurt the real talent and grown the marketing divison each time. its destroyed classic games and gaming concepts...

and today the scheme of publisher godhood, has enabled every publisher to become like sega during the mistakes era with "NO JRPGS!" rules.

except instead of excluding one genre, other developers get excluded without an easy way to publish for a middle-market. less third parties get hired out -- and whenever EA gets ownership OVER a series without hiring out, they ruin it. look what happened to Ultima.
