EA and CLC settled with the class of former players suing for use of thier likenesses without permission or compensation. Undisclosed settlement amount, but it's going to be a BIG number. Upwards of 300,000 former players, and EA's attorney still said each claimant would receive something "substantive."
EA announced, in connection with the settlement, they are leaving the NCAA football game business (at least for the time being).

Those lawsuits are a big effing deal. I sort of wish someone would sue EA to force them out of the NFL game business. Talk about a product that needs competition…

But my wish for EA to get sued to get them away from the NFL license is emotional, not rational. I don't actually want that to happen, I'm just saying it would be fun. What should happen is that the NFL should stop the exclusivity. But they care more about the money they get from the license than the quality of the end product. -
That sucks.... NCAA Football was just about the only game EA succeeded in.

I pray to the gods that 2k gets NCAA football.

I don't like EA at all, but this counts.
