EA Sports hinted a comeback of NCAA Football video game.
On Tuesday, EA Sports announced that they have finished the plan for 2021, and one of their projects includes a return of NCAA Football video game. The last version of this game went off on the shelves in 2013. Ever since then, the game was pending. EA Sports has to stop producing the game as NCAA was accused of not sharing the revenue from this game to player. Until now, NCAA has not decided whether should they allow college athletes to earn revenues from their likenesses and licenses.
Despite the controversy, Electronic Arts has plan for a relaunching of NCAA Football game. However, EA Sports said that they have not picked up a specific day yet, saying that it is still uncertain. So far, EA has accomplished a bargain with College Licensing Company and they can legally use names, stadiums, and clubs from the NCAA.
We’ve heard from the millions of passionate fans requesting the return of college football video games.
We love the energy, tradition and pageantry of college football and I am beyond thrilled to say we are back in development.
EA Sports executive vice president and general manager Cam Weber.
EA hinted that this game is a stimulation game. Players have approach to clubs and names of NCAA, but instead of playing them like the NFL game, players of NCAA Football will only have a stimulation game.
Before this returning, this game was a controversy of EA and college athletes. NCAA was once opposed the revenue rights for athletes. But they finally lost to players and have to accept the fact that when NCAA football game comes back, players can have profits from that game.
However, this profit will be restricting in order to protect the league of NCAA as well.
