oh, ok

The reason is simple... you CAN NOT license a college/amatuer athletes name or likeness. As soon as they are getting paid, they're not amatuer anymore. One of the worst kept secrets in the video game industry is the fact that the NCAA games allow you to rename players for that reason. EA is in fact being sued by Sam Keller the former ASU & Neb QB. He is claiming that EA is using the athletes likeness and wants $ because of it. Here are links to the story: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1...-and-ea-sports http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=4151071 I think his law suit is just a ploy to try and get $. I think it sets a terrible precident if they find in his favor. You can not pay college athletes...period.

I knew all of this 4 years ago!
