Football Basketball Video Games Tech. I mean, at this point, though, it's kind of hard to say. The fact that O'Brien didn't say "no" immediately could be read as a positive sign, I suppose, but it's obvious EA Sports doesn't have anything remotely concrete in the pipeline. But the real issue lies neither with the publisher nor the market.
The massive lawsuit that could one day implode the NCAA's entire foundation actually began because O'Bannon saw his likeness being used in one of the games' classic teams modes and wondered why he hadn't received some compensation for the use.
Similar arguments extend to the college football title, but at least those players wear helmets. So, no, unless EA Sports and the NCAA decide to do something completely counterproductive and brazen for the sake of a game that very few people actually played -- and even fewer people enjoyed -- in the first place, there will not be another college basketball game anytime soon.
Probably ever. Long live "FIFA USC Trojans. LSU Tigers. Boston College Eagles. UVa QB Armstrong returning to play fifth season. Virginia Cavaliers. RB Johnson follows Napier to Gators as transfer.

Final college football power rankings: Bowl season shakes up top Back in EA sent us boxes of papers as part of a document request.
In one of the boxes were email printouts. But then, as those emails explained, EA pulled the names right before publication. He explained that EA had arrangements in place to easily negotiate with college athletes for a group license and that EA very much wanted those rights to make the games more realistic. All we asked for is that EA pursue what it really wanted to do: negotiate with us to use our identities. EA is simply afraid of the NCAA, which could decide not to allow the licensing of team and university intellectual property.
EA should reach out and negotiate a group license with players. Most players would love to be in the video games. All they want is a small amount of money to show they count. Some would say EA figuring out how much money should go to each player would be complicated.
I think figuring out a fair distribution of video game money is well within the abilities of mankind. So, yes, EA should make a game with real college players, both current and past. College basketball video game players would probably be able to make an educated guess as to inspiration for that Washington, DC, college team with Patrick Ewing, Alonzo Mourning, Dikembe Mutombo, and Allen Iverson, all digitized and all real on the roster.
All I know is people would buy those video games. The Spartans run their winning streak to nine games and remain unbeaten in Big Ten play thanks to some buzzer-beating heroics.
