On another topic I know you a real college football fan....You notice how these 17 and 18 year olds are more and more important to the game with these 20 and 21 year old's not playing in bowl games and leaving. Also with the transfer portal for these sophomore 19 year olds.... these freshman can have the biggest impact for their team. Game has changed...I still fukk with it tho.... ND top 10 this year....



Freshman have always had the power, in the recruiting process, but now it tips in their favor a bit more, because they can bounce after a year, but that’s only if you valued.

Everyone is not avoiding the bowls, and it would be a junior or sophomore replacing that senior sooner than a freshman, unless you that nikka, and that’s rare

Nd top wheeet :mjlol:


Those games can go either way but i like the odds for ball control saban

any way you can get this article



The game never has had real players, not technically, but we all knew “USC RB #5” was Reggie Bush, with the correct look, hometown, size and skills. That’s what made Ed O’Bannon and others so upset and led to a hiatus of the game: The names might not have been there, but even casual fans knew who the players were.

EA Sports’ college football video game will return next summer after more than a decade in dormancy. This time, thanks to a group licensing agreement with OneTeam Partners, the real players officially will be in the game. Players will be able to opt into the game and be paid for their name, image and likeness to appear. If a player doesn’t opt in, he’ll receive a generic avatar — much like “Jon Dowd” was Barry Bonds in EA Sports’ MVP Baseball 2005.

On3 Sports reported players could receive around $500 each. Time will tell if star players try to get more.

O’Bannon didn’t want the game to end; he just wanted players to get paid. EA Sports said in a filing at the time it was willing to pay the players, but the NCAA wouldn’t allow it, so EA Sports shuttered NCAA Football after its 2014 title in the face of more litigation. The sport suffered for it; a generation of fans lost a direct touch, and players didn’t get to see themselves — or, their likeness — in the game. They didn’t get to experience the fun of purchasing a copy and chasing the Heisman Trophy with their gamer images.

This year marks 30 years since the EA Sports game series debuted with Bill Walsh College Football in 1993. Over those 30 years and 21 titles, some players stand alone as all-time greats in the game. Their names may not officially have been a part of the game, but their virtual legacies live on.
