    Ahh that helps explain it, I don’t follow closely so I assumed it was just a standard annual release like NHL/Madden/FIFA etc, not a “once in a while” like some of the smaller leagues.

    Although because this worked on this release, they’ll definitely try it on a major league one next. My bet is NHL because that will ruffle less feathers, then if that goes well it will make it to Madden & EA FC, the cash cows.

      They’ve been doing this tactic for a few years now. Not a new thing tbh.

      It’s presumably going to be annual.

      They stopped because of legal issues related to players not being compensated for virtual players that were clearly modeled on their traits. They’re coming back because the NCAA being forced to abandon the whole “amateur” premise means they can do licensing more legitimately.
