Announcement Coming Tonight

Posted July 6th, 2008 at 9:21 am

Those who frequent the forum have known since Thursday that I have been heading towards making an announcement related to NCAA Football 09. That announcement now looks as though it will be coming tonight.

Just to be clear everything there is to know about NCAA 09 is out there and this will not be a reveal of something new about the game. It does however relate to the game and should be something that the community will be very pleased about.

Once an exact time for the announcement can be locked down it will be added here and will be mentioned in the forum.

Update: The announcement will be made at 6pm PT / 9pm ET.

[quote comment="27696"][quote comment="27664"]It wouldn’t matter if they released the game with players names, as we could just download them via roster share. Besides, EA cannot use real college players names. EVER.[/quote]

yeah actaully the rule is that college players are ot allowed to be featured in games thats why no college games ever have real names just fake names or numbers even if the numbers,weight,height, hometown etc. are the same as the guy in real life its not representing that guy[/quote]

Incorrect. There’s no rule stating that college players aren’t allowed to be featured in games. It’s just that if EA actually used their names, they would have to pay the players some compensation for being featured in the game. First off, there’s way too many players to do that. Secondly, college athletes aren’t allowed to be payed for anything related to their sport. That’s why. It’s possible for EA to get some kind of licensing agreement to where they can feature player’s names without paying them… possible, but not plausible.

Players’ real names and exact likenesses are not used in the game. While the Madden NFL series uses real player names and likenesses, those players are compensated for the use of their image. In order to use NCAA players’ names, they would have to provide the players with compensation. Due to NCAA restrictions on the amateur status of athletes, this is not allowed.

swear to god i did not write that. It is an official rule

The rest of my post pretty much summed up what you said. The rule doesn’t say that they can’t be featured on games. It just says that they can’t get paid to do it, and due to liscensing restrictions (not NCAA rules), EA cannot have someone’s likeness on a game without paying them.

They can’t be featured in games per Rule 12.5.1(h) of the NCAA Bylaws:

“Any commercial items with names, likenesses or pictures of multiple student athletes (other than highlight films or media guides per Bylaw 12.5.1.8) may be sold only at the member institution at which the student-athlete is enrolled, institutionally controlled (owned and operated) outlets or outlets controlled by the charitable or educational organization (e.g., location of the charitable or educational organization, site of charitable event during the event). Items that include an individual student-athlete’s name, picture or likeness (e.g., name on jersey, name or likeness on a bobble-head doll), other than informational items (e.g., media guide, schedule cards, institutional publications), may not be sold; and (Adopted: 1/16/93, Revised: 1/9/96, 4/27/06 effective 8/1/06)”
