EA Sports has reportedly narrowed down a release window for the much-anticipated college football video game
Brown’s report also includes an update concerning the company compensating players for the use of their likeness, an issue that led to a class-action lawsuit that halted production of the “NCAA Football” series in 2013. With the NCAA no longer allowed to govern student-athlete compensation thanks to NIL deals, Brown reported there’s hope that EA Sports will be able to use the players in the game, and would still launch the title if they are unable to use likenesses.
“I’m told there is optimism that the framework for a college football player video game group license could be announced as early as this summer,” he wrote. “There was some hope it could have happened even earlier, but some shakeups in the college group license industry has made things a teensy bit more complicated.
In regards to the participating programs, the most recent memo noted “nearly 120 institutions, athletic conferences and bowl games” have “conceptually approved participation.” Currently, EA Sports is still working to obtain IP such as “band songs, crowd chants, and other team-specific audio assets” related to development.
Nevertheless, these latest updates will surely give fans something to look forward to over the next year while waiting for EA Sports’ first CFB game since 2014.
